Exegesis
The phrase en autō {ἐν αὐτῷ | en autôi} ‘in it’ reiterates reference to the temple, while kai en tō katoikoûnti autón {καὶ ἐν τῷ κατοικοῦντι αὐτόν | kaí en tōi katoikoûnti autón} ‘and in the one dwelling it’ shifts the focus from the physical structure to its personal indweller. This parallel construction underscores that swearing by the temple invokes both the sacred building and the divine Presence residing within.
In context — Matthew 23:21
And the one who swears by the temple swears by it and by the one who dwells in it.
