| MATTHEW 5: 33-37 The law of oaths |
33. Again, you have heard that the ancients were
told "You Shall Not Make False Vows,
But Shall Fulfill your Vows To The Lord".
34. But I say to you, make no oath at all, either
by heaven, for it is the throne of God,
35. or by the earth, for it is the footstool
of His feet, or by Jerusalem, for it is THE
City Of The Great King;
36. Nor shall you make an oath by your head,
for you cannot make one hair white or black.
37. But let your statement be, "Yes, yes"
or "No, no"; and anything beyond
these is of evil.
