The Sermon on the Mount: Taking Oaths
33 "Again you have heard that it was said to the {people of old}, 'Do not swear falsely, but fulfill your oaths to the Lord.'
34

35
or by the earth, because it is the footstool of his feet, or by Jerusalem, because it is the city of the great king.
36
And do not swear by your head, because you are not able to make one hair white or black.
37
But let your statement be 'Yes, yes; no, no,' and anything beyond these is from the evil one.

40
And the one who wants to go to court with you and take your tunic, {let him have} your outer garment also.
41
And whoever forces you to go one mile, go with him two.
42
Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.
The Sermon on the Mount: Love for Enemies
43 "You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor' and 'Hate your enemy.'
