Bible verses about "swear" | ACV

Matthew 5:33-37

33 Again, ye have heard that it was said to them in old times, Thou shall not swear falsely, but shall render to the Lord thine oaths. 34 But I say to you, not to swear at all, neither by heaven, because it is the throne of God, 35 nor by the earth, because it is the footstool of his feet, nor by Jerusalem, because it is the city of the great King. 36 Neither shall thou swear by thy head, because thou cannot make one hair white or black. 37 But let your word be, Yes, yes, No, no. And anything beyond these is from evil.
