# General Information:
In Matthew 5:34-37, Jesus teaches that when people make a promise or when they say that something is true, they must not swear by anything. Some people were teaching that if a person swears by God that he will do something, then he must do it, but if he swears by something else, then it is less offensive if he does not do what he swore to do. Jesus says that swearing by heaven or earth or Jerusalem is just as serious as swearing by God because those things all belong to God.
# But I say
See how you translated this in [Matthew 5:22](../05/22.md).
