Matthew 23:16-21

[16] Woe  ye blind  guides,  which  say,  Whosoever  shall swear  by  the temple,  nothing;  but  whosoever  shall swear  by  the gold  of the temple,  he is a debtor!  [17] Ye fools  and  blind:  for  whether  the gold,  or  the temple  that sanctifieth  the gold?  [18] And,  Whosoever  shall swear  by  the altar,  nothing;  but  whosoever  sweareth  by  the gift  that is upon  it,  he is guilty.  [19] blind:  for  whether  the gift,  or  the altar  that sanctifieth  the gift?  [20] Whoso therefore  shall swear  by  the altar,  sweareth  by  it,  and  by  all things  thereon.  [21] And  whoso shall swear  by  the temple,  sweareth  by  it,  and  by  him that dwelleth  therein.
