Matthew 5:34-37
New American Standard Bible
34 But I say to you, (A)take no oath at all, neither by heaven, for it is (B)the throne of God, 35 nor by the earth, for it is the (C)footstool of His feet, nor [a]by Jerusalem, for it is (D)the city of the great King. 36 Nor shall you take an oath by your head, for you cannot make a single hair white or black. 37 But make sure your statement is, ‘[b]Yes, yes’ or ‘No, no’; anything beyond these is [c]of (E)evil origin.
