Matthew 5: 33 - 37
|
| 33
|
"Again you have heard that it was said to the men of old, `You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform to the Lord what you have sworn.'
|
| 34
|
But I say to you, Do not swear at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God,
|
| 35
|
or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.
|
| 36
|
And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black.
|
| 37
|
Let what you say be simply `Yes' or `No'; anything more than this comes from evil.
