Matthew 5:33-37 - The Sermon On The Mount: Taking Oaths

³³ Again, you have heard that it has been said to the ancients, "You shall not swear falsely, but you shall perform your oaths to the Lord." ³⁴ But I say to you, Do not swear at all! Not by Heaven, because it is God's throne; ³⁵ not by the earth, for it is the footstool of His feet; not by Jerusalem, because it is the city of the great King; ³⁶ nor shall you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white or black. ³⁷ But let your word be, Yes, yes; No, no. For whatever is more than these comes from evil.
