But above all, my brethren, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath. But let your“ Yes” be“ Yes,” and your“ No,”“ No,” lest you fall into judgment.

我兄弟乎、天也、地也、他物也、勿指之而誓、惟是則是、否則否、免陷於鞫也、○

兄弟切勿誓、勿指天地而誓、勿指萬物而誓、惟出言是是否否、斯可已、不然、恐陷於罪、

兄弟乎、最要者、不可誓、勿指天而誓、勿指地而誓、勿指他物而誓、惟爾之言、當是是否否、不然、恐陷於罪、○

兄弟說話時、務宜是是非非；切莫宣誓、既不可指天為誓、又不可指地為誓。總之、勿立任何咒誓；不然、陷於罪矣。

Above all, my brothers and sisters, do not swear— not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. All you need to say is a simple“ Yes” or“ No.” Otherwise you will be condemned.

My brothers and sisters, here is what is most important. Don’t make a promise by giving your word. Don’t promise by heaven or earth. And don’t promise by anything else to back up what you say. All you need to say is a simple“ Yes” or“ No.” If you do more than this, you will be judged.

But above all, my brothers, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or by any other oath, but let your“ yes” be yes and your“ no” be no, so that you may not fall under condemnation.

But most of all, my brothers and sisters, never take an oath, by heaven or earth or anything else. Just say a simple yes or no, so that you will not sin and be condemned.

Above all, my brothers and sisters, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath. But let your“ yes” mean“ yes,” and your“ no” mean“ no,” so that you won’t fall under judgment.

But above all, my brothers and sisters, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath; but your yes is to be yes, and your no, no, so that you do not fall under judgment.

But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by the heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath: but let your yea be yea, and your nay, nay; that ye fall not under judgment.

Now above all, my brothers, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath. Your“ yes” must be“ yes,” and your“ no” must be“ no,” so that you won’t fall under judgment.

But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and[ your] nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.

And above all, my brothers and sisters, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or by any other oath. But let your“ Yes” be yes and your“ No” be no, so that you may not fall into judgment.

But above all things, my brothers, don’t swear— not by heaven, or by the earth, or by any other oath; but let your“ yes” be“ yes”, and your“ no”,“ no”, so that you don’t fall into hypocrisy.

“ Again you have heard that it was said to those of old,‘ You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform your oaths to the Lord.’But I say to you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is God’s throne;nor by the earth, for it is His footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.Nor shall you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white or black.But let your‘ Yes’ be‘ Yes,’ and your‘ No,’‘ No.’ For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.

Therefore, when I was planning this, did I do it lightly? Or the things I plan, do I plan according to the flesh, that with me there should be Yes, Yes, and No, No?But as God is faithful, our word to you was not Yes and No.For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us— by me, Silvanus, and Timothy— was not Yes and No, but in Him was Yes.For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.

“ Woe to you, blind guides, who say,‘ Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is obliged to perform it.’Fools and blind! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that sanctifies the gold?And,‘ Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obliged to perform it.’Fools and blind! For which is greater, the gift or the altar that sanctifies the gift?Therefore he who swears by the altar, swears by it and by all things on it.He who swears by the temple, swears by it and by Him who dwells in it.And he who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God and by Him who sits on it.

But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest you come together for judgment. And the rest I will set in order when I come.

And above all things have fervent love for one another, for“ love will cover a multitude of sins.”

My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment.For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body.
