Matthew 23:18

New International Version

¹⁸You also say, ‘If anyone swears by the altar, it means nothing; but anyone who swears by the gift on the altar is bound by that oath.’

Matthew 23:18

King James Version

¹⁸And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.

¹⁸And, ‘Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obliged to perform it.’

¹⁹You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar that makes the gift sacred?^(A)

¹⁹Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?

¹⁹Fools and blind! For which is greater, the gift ^(A)or the altar that sanctifies the gift?

New International Version (NIV)
