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.

我的弟兄们，最要紧的是不可起誓；不可指着天起誓，也不可指着地起誓，无论何誓都不可起。你们说话，是，就说是；不是，就说不是，免得你们落在审判之下。

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, 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.

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.

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 an older generation,‘ Do not break an oath, but fulfill your vows to the Lord.’But I say to you, do not take oaths at all– not by heaven, because it is the throne of God,not by earth, because it is his footstool, and not by Jerusalem, because it is the city of the great King.Do not take an oath by your head, because you are not able to make one hair white or black.Let your word be‘ Yes, yes’ or‘ No, no.’ More than this is from the evil one.

Therefore when I was planning to do this, I did not do so without thinking about what I was doing, did I? Or do I make my plans according to mere human standards so that I would be saying both“ Yes, yes” and“ No, no” at the same time?But as God is faithful, our message to you is not“ Yes” and“ No.”For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, the one who was proclaimed among you by us– by me and Silvanus and Timothy– was not“ Yes” and“ No,” but it has always been“ Yes” in him.For every one of God’s promises are“ Yes” in him; therefore also through him the“ Amen” is spoken, to the glory we give to God.

“ Woe to you, blind guides, who say,‘ Whoever swears by the temple is bound by nothing. But whoever swears by the gold of the temple is bound by the oath.’Blind fools! Which is greater, the gold or the temple that makes the gold sacred?And,‘ Whoever swears by the altar is bound by nothing. But if anyone swears by the gift on it he is bound by the oath.’You are blind! For which is greater, the gift or the altar that makes the gift sacred?So whoever swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it.And whoever swears by the temple swears by it and the one who dwells in it.And whoever swears by heaven swears by the throne of God and the one who sits on it.

If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, so that when you assemble it does not lead to judgment. I will give directions about other matters when I come.

Above all keep your love for one another fervent, because love covers a multitude of sins.

Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers and sisters, because you know that we will be judged more strictly.For we all stumble in many ways. If someone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect individual, able to control the entire body as well.
