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

³³ Again, ye have heard that it has been said to the ancients, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt render to the Lord what thou hast sworn. ³⁴ But I say unto you, Do not swear at all; neither by the 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 shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. ³⁷ But let your word be Yea, yea; Nay, nay; but what is more than these is from evil.
