Matthew 5:33-41
33 |
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.' |
34 |
But I say to you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is God's throne; |
35 |
nor by the earth, for it is His footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. |
36 |
Nor shall you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white or black. |
37 |
But let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No,' 'No.' For whatever is more than these is from the evil one. |
38 |
You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.' |
39 |
But I tell you not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. |
40 |
If anyone wants to sue you and take away your tunic, let him have your cloak also. |
41 |
And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two. |
