18 Também [dizeis] : “Qualquer um que jurar pelo altar, nada é; mas quem jurar pela oferta que [está] sobre ele, devedor é”.

19 Tolos e cegos! Pois qual é maior: a oferta, ou o altar que santifica a oferta?

20 Portanto, quem jurar pelo altar, jura por ele, e por tudo o que está sobre ele.

21 E quem jurar pelo templo, jura por ele, e por aquele que nele habita.

22 E quem jurar pelo Céu, jura pelo trono de Deus, e por aquele que sobre ele está sentado.
