and you shall swear, As the LORD lives, in truth, in justice, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory.
But above all things, my brothers, don't swear, neither by heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath; but let your *yes* be *yes,* and your *no,* *no;* so that you don't fall into hypocrisy.
