rsv Matthew:23:17-21
rsv@Matthew:23:17 @ And you say, `If any one swears by the altar, it is nothing; but if any one swears by the gift that is on the altar, he is bound by his oath.'
rsv@Matthew:23:18 @ You blind men! For which is greater, the gift or the altar that makes the gift sacred?
rsv@Matthew:23:19 @ So he who swears by the altar, swears by it and by everything on it;
rsv@Matthew:23:20 @ and he who swears by the temple, swears by it and by him who dwells in it;
rsv@Matthew:23:21 @ and he who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God and by him who sits upon it.
