5:12 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 be no, that you may not fall under condemnation. | 5:12 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 for it. | 5:12 Above
all, my friends, do not use an oath when you make a promise. Do not swear
by heaven or by earth or by anything else. Say only "Yes" when you mean
yes, and "No" when you mean no, and then you will not come under God's
judgment.R23
