33AgainG3825, ye have heardG191 that it was said to them of oldG744 time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the LordG2962 thine oathsG3727: 34but I sayG3004 unto you, SwearG3660 not at all; neither by the heavenG3772, for it isG1510 the throneG2362 of GodG2316; 35nor by the earthG1093, for it isG1510 the footstoolG5286 of his feetG4228; nor by JerusalemG2414, for it isG1510 the cityG4172 of the greatG3173 KingG935. 36Neither shalt thou swearG3660 by thy headG2776, for thou canst not makeG4160 oneG1520 hairG2359 whiteG3022 or blackG3189. 37But let your speechG3056 beG1510, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: and whatsoever isG1510 more than these isG1510 of the evilG4190 oneG3778.
