Matthew 23:16-22
16 “Woe to you, (A)blind guides, who say, ‘(B)Whoever swears by the (a)temple, that is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the (b)temple is obligated.’
17 You fools and blind men! (C)Which is (c)more important, the gold or the (d)temple that sanctified the gold?
18 And, ‘Whoever swears by the altar, that is nothing, but whoever swears by the (e)offering on it, he is obligated.’
19 You blind men, (D)which is (f)more important, the (g)offering, or the altar that sanctifies the (h)offering?
20 Therefore, (i)whoever swears by the altar, swears both by (j)the altar and by everything on it.
21 And (k)whoever swears by the (l)temple, swears both by (m)the temple and by Him who (E)dwells within it.
22 And (n)whoever swears by heaven, (F)swears both by the throne of God and by Him who sits upon it.
