Matthew 5:33-37 Again you have heard it was said to them who were before you, that you shall not lie in your oaths, but entrust your oaths to the Lord.

Lamsa⁽ⁱ⁾ ³³ Again you have heard it was said to them who were before you, that you shall not lie in your oaths, but entrust your oaths to the Lord. ³⁴ But I say to you, never swear; neither by heaven, because it is GodÆs throne; ³⁵ Nor by the earth, for it is a stool under his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of a great king. ³⁶ Neither shall you swear by your own head, because you cannot create in it a single black or white hair. ³⁷ But let your words be yes, yes, and no, no; for anything which adds to these is a deception.
