Matthew 23:17-19

21st Century King James Version

¹⁷ Ye fools and blind! For which is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?

¹⁸ And ye say, ‘Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is liable.’

¹⁹ Ye fools and blind! For which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
