Matthew 5:33-37

Matthew 5:33-37

Scripture

33 ā€œYou have also heard that our ancestors were told, ā€˜You must not break your vows; you must carry out the vows you make to the Lord.’ 34 But I say, do not make any vows! Do not say, ā€˜By heaven!’ because heaven is God’s throne. 35 And do not say, ā€˜By the earth!’ because the earth is his footstool. And do not say, ā€˜By Jerusalem!’ for Jerusalem is the city of the great King. 36 Do not even say, ā€˜By my head!’ for you can’t turn one hair white or black. 37 Just say a simple, ā€˜Yes, I will,’ or ā€˜No, I won’t.’ Anything beyond this is from the evil one.
