18 Y: Cualquiera que jurare por el altar, es nada; mas cualquiera que jurare por el presente que está sobre él, deudor es.

19 ¡Necios y ciegos! porque, ¿cuál es mayor, el presente, ó el altar que santifica al presente?

20 Pues el que jurare por el altar, jura por él, y por todo lo que está sobre él;

21 Y el que jurare por el templo, jura por él, y por Aquél que habita en él;

22 Y el que jura por el cielo, jura por el trono de Dios, y por Aquél que está sentado sobre él.
