Matthew 23:21

English Standard Version 2016

And whoever swears by the temple swears by it and by him who dwells in it.

See the chapter Copy

O Lord, I love the habitation of your house and the place where your glory dwells.

I have indeed built you an exalted house, a place for you to dwell in forever.”

But I have built you an exalted house, a place for you to dwell in forever.”

For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily,

In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit.

And the priests could not enter the house of the Lord, because the glory of the Lord filled the Lord’s house.

“But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain you; how much less this house that I have built!

So whoever swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it.
