Matthew 23:20

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

He therefore that sweareth by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things that are upon it:

See the chapter Copy

Ye blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?

And whosoever shall swear by temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth in it:

For men swear by one greater than themselves: and an oath for confirmation is the end of all their controversy.
