Matthew 23:19


Matthew 23:18 [words of Jesus] Matthew 23:19 (KJV) [words of Jesus] Matthew 23:20 [words of Jesus]
And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.
[Ye] fools and blind: for whether [is] greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.
