Matthew

Teaching on Oaths and Honesty

5
Chapter 5
33 Again, you heard that it was said to those of old: "You shall not swear falsely, but you shall pay to the Lord what you have vowed." 34 But I say to you, do not swear at all—not by heaven, for it is God's throne; 35 nor by the earth, for it is his footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King; 36 nor by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. 37 But let your word be "Yes, yes; No, no." But what is more than these is from the evil one.
