Again, ye have heard that it was said, to them of olden time, Thou shalt not swear falsely, - but shalt render unto the Lord, thine oaths.

But, I, tell you - not to swear, at all: Neither by heaven, because it is the, throne of God, -

Nor by the earth, because it is his, footstool; nor by Jerusalem, because, it is the, city, of the Great King;

Nor, by thine own head, mayest thou swear, because thou art not able to make, one hair, white or black.

But let your word be, Yea, yea, - Nay, nay; and, what goeth beyond these, is, of evil.
