Matthew 23:20

Lighthouse Bible 2006

Whoever therefore shall swear by the altar, swears by it, and by all things on it.

See the chapter Copy

You fools and blind: for which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift?

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

For men truly swear by one who is greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.
