Matt.23.20

"You're hopeless, you religion scholars and Pharisees! Frauds! You keep meticulous account books, tithing on every nickel and dime you get, but on the meat of God's Law, things like fairness and compassion and commitment--the absolute basics!-you carelessly take it or leave it. Careful bookkeeping is commendable, but the basics are required.

Matt.23.20

Therefore, he who swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it.

Matt.23.20

Therefore he who swears by the altar, swears by it and by all things on it.

Matt.23.20

When you swear 'by the altar,' you are swearing by it and by everything on it.
