Matthew 5:34-37
34But I say to you, 1take no oath at all, neither by heaven, for it is 2the throne of God, 35nor by the earth, for it is the 3footstool of His feet, nor 4by Jerusalem, for it is 5the city of the great King. 36Nor shall you take an oath by your head, for you cannot make a single hair white or black. 37But make sure your statement is, ‘6Yes, yes’ or ‘No, no’; anything beyond these is 7of 8evil origin.
