Matthew 23:18-22

18You also say, ‘If anyone swears by the altar, it means nothing; but anyone who swears by the gift on the altar is bound by that oath.’

19You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar that makes the gift sacred?

20Therefore, anyone who swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it.

21And anyone who swears by the temple swears by it and by the one who dwells in it.

22And anyone who swears by heaven swears by God’s throne and by the one who sits on it.
