Matthew 23:21

And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.

And {G2532} whoso shall swear {G3660} by {G1722} the temple {G3485}, sweareth {G3660} by {G1722} it {G846}, and {G2532} by {G1722} him that dwelleth {G2730} therein {G846}.

And someone who swears by the Temple swears by it and the One who lives in it

And he who swears by the temple swears by it and by the One who dwells in it.

And he that sweareth by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.
