Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.
Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.
For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.
