Matthew 23:16-18

1. 16 Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!

2. 17 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?

3. 18 And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.
