Matthew 23:20

Wycliffe's Bible with Modern Spelling

Therefore he that sweareth in the altar, sweareth in it, and in all things that be thereon.

See the chapter Copy

Blind men, for what is more, the gift, or the altar that halloweth the gift?

And he that sweareth in the temple, sweareth in it, and in him that dwelleth in the temple.

For men swear by a greater than themselves, and the end of all their plea, [or all their controversy, or debate], is an oath to confirmation.
