And whoever shall swear by the temple, swears by it, and by him who dwells therein.
All Commentaries on Matthew 23:21 Go To Matthew 23

AD 1849
By him that dwelleth in it. Here we see that swearing by creatures, as by the gospel and by the saints, is all referred to the honour of God, whose gospel it is, whose saints they are. (Bristow)
