Matthew 5:33-37

33 "You have also heard that people were told in the past, "Do not break your promise, but do what you have vowed to the Lord to do.'

33 “Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill to the Lord the vows you have made.’

34 But now I tell you: do not use any vow when you make a promise. Do not swear by heaven, for it is God's throne;

34 But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne;

35 nor by earth, for it is the resting place for his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.

35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King.

36 Do not even swear by your head, because you cannot make a single hair white or black.

36 And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black.

37 All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.
