15Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel around by sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much of a son of Gehenna as yourselves.
16Woe to you, you blind guides, who say, `Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor.`
17You blind fools! For which is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifies the gold?
18`Whoever will swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever will swear by the gift that is on it, he is a debtor.`
19You blind fools! For which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift?
20He therefore who swears by the altar, swears by it, and by everything on it.
21He who swears by the temple, swears by it, and by him who is living in it.
