Neither swear by thy head, because thou art unable to make one hair white or black.

And He spoke many things to them in parables, saying, Behold a sower went out to sow.

Therefore hear ye the parable of the sower.

And the servants of the landlord having come to him said, Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? whence then hath it tares?

Woe unto you, blind guides, who are saying, Whosoever may swear by the temple it is nothing; but whosoever may swear by the gold of the temple, he is debtor.

And, Whosoever may swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever may swear by the gift upon it, is debtor.

Then he began to anathematize and to swear, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.

Hear: Behold, a sower went out to sow:

The sower sows the word.

But he began to anathematize, and to swear, I know not this man of whom you speak.

the oath which He swore to Abraham our father:

The woman says to Him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

already. He that reapeth receiveth reward, and gathereth fruit unto eternal life; in order that both the sower and the reaper may rejoice together.

then they came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and requested him, saying, Sir, we wish to see Jesus.

But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.

Truly, truly, I say unto you, that you will weep and mourn, and the world will rejoice; you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.

When a woman may bring forth she has sorrow, because her hour has come: but when the little child may be born, she remembers her suffering no more, for the joy that a man has been born into the world.

Therefore you indeed also now have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one taketh your joy from you.

Jesus says to her, Woman, why are you weeping? whom are you seeking? She, thinking that He is the gardener, says to Him, Sir, if you have taken Him away, tell me where you have placed Him, and I will take Him.

Therefore being a prophet and knowing that God swore with an oath, that from the fruit of his loins One should sit upon the throne;

And Paul, still remaining some days, having bidden adieu to the brethren, sailed away to Syria, and along with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchrea; for he had a vow.

Therefore it is by faith, in order that it may be by grace; that the promise may be sure to all the seed; not only of the law, but also of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,

and being not weak in faith, he considered not his body already dead, being about a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah's womb:

that there is great sorrow to me and incessant grief to my heart.

For this is the word of the promise, About this time I will come, and there shall be a son to Sarah.

But I determined this to myself, not again to come unto you in sorrow.

For a godly sorrow works repentance unto salvation not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world works out death.

For behold, how great enthusiasm, yes, how great apology, yes, how great clearing up, yes, how great fear, yes, how great longing, yes, how great zeal, yes, how great avenging, this same godly sorrow did work in you! In everything you have established yourselves to be pure in the matter.

For he was indeed nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not only him, but me also, in order that I may not have sorrow upon sorrow.

Therefore I the more diligently, in order that, seeing him, you may rejoice again, and I may not be without sorrow.

For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who are asleep; in order that you may not sorrow, even as those having no hope.

as I swore in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.

And to whom did he swear that they should not enter into his rest, but to those who believed not?

For we who have believed, do enter into rest: as he has said, As I swore in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest: the works truly having been from the foundations of the world.

For God having promised Abraham, since he had no greater one by whom to swear, swore by himself,

For men swear by the greater: and an oath of confirmation is to them an end to all controversy:

which we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast and entering into that which is in the veil,

And by faith Sarah herself received power unto the conception of seed, even past the time of age, since she considered him faithful who had promised.

Weep, and mourn, lament: let your laughter be turned into mourning, and your joy into sorrow.

But, my brethren, before all, swear not, neither by heaven, or by earth, or any other oath: but let your conversation be yes yes; and no no; lest you may fall under condemnation.

as Sarah submitted to Abraham, calling him Lord: whose children you have become, doing good, and not fearing any calamity.

Therefore, brethren, be the more diligent to make your calling and election sure: for doing these things you can never fall.

The elder to the elect Cyria, and to her children, whom in truth I love with divine love; and not I, but also those having known the truth;

and he swore by him that liveth unto the ages of the ages, who created the heaven, and the things in it, and the earth, and the things in it, and the sea, and the things in it, that there shall be time no longer:

and the first went away, and poured out his bowl upon the earth. And a destructive and grievous sore came on the men having the mark of the beast, and those worshiping his image.

as to so many things as she has glorified herself, and lived wantonly, give unto her so much torment and sorrow. Because she says in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow; and I see no sorrow;

and he will wipe every tear out of their eyes; and there will be no more death, neither will there be any more sorrow, nor crying, nor pain: because the former things have passed away.
