Matthew:5:33-37

*
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 .
*
But I say to you ,
Do not swear at all !
Not by Heaven ,
because it is God '
s throne ;
*
not by the earth ,
for it is the footstool of His feet ;
not by Jerusalem ,
because it is [
the ]
city of the great King ;
*
nor shall you swear by your head ,
because you cannot make one hair white or black .
*
But let your word be ,
Yes ,
yes ;
No ,
no .
For whatever is more than these comes from evil .
