Matthew 5:34-37

New American Standard Bible 1995

³⁴ But I say to you, ^(A)make no oath at all, either by heaven, for it is ^(B)the throne of God, ³⁵ or by the earth, for it is the ^(C)footstool of His feet, or ^[a]by Jerusalem, for it is ^(D)the city of the great King. ³⁶ Nor shall you make an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. ³⁷ But let your statement be, ‘Yes, yes’ or ‘No, no’; anything beyond these is ^[b]of ^(E)evil.
