MATTHEW 23:18 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.”
And you say: if anyone swears by the altar, it is nothing, but if anyone swears by the gift that is on the altar, he is bound by his oath. The second example of the oath-casuistry: the altar versus the gift on the altar. The same logic applies — the gift's sanctity derives from the altar that sanctifies it.
