\v 33 "You have also heard your religious teachers say that God said to our ancestors, 'Make sure that you do what you have called upon the Lord to witness that you would do!'
\v 34 But now listen to what I say to you: Never promise to do anything and then ask someone greater than yourself to witness it. For example, do not promise that you will do something and then ask anyone in heaven to witness it, because heaven is where God sits on his throne as king.
\v 35 And do not promise that you will do something as surely as the earth exists; do not do this, because the earth is where God rests his feet. Moreover, do not promise that you will do something as surely as the city of Jerusalem exists, because Jerusalem is the city that especially belongs to God.
\v 33 "You have also heard your religious teachers say that God said to our ancestors, 'You should never swear an oath by making up a lie! Instead, you should make your promises as you would if the Lord himself were standing before you.'
\v 34 But now I will say to you something even more important: Never make a oath and then seek someone greater than yourself to guarantee what you promised. This is more difficult: Do not swear an oath for any reason! Do not swear by the place where God lives in heaven. That is where his great seat of power is and from where he rules over all things.
\v 35 And do not swear any oath on the promise that the earth would make your promise true. Do not do this, because the earth is where God rests his feet. Never swear an oath by the city of Jerusalem, because Jerusalem is the city that belongs to God, our great King.

\v 36 Also, do not promise that you will do something and then say that they should cut off your head if you do not do it. You are not even able to change the color of one hair on your head.
\v 36 Also, do not promise that you will do something and then say that they should cut off your head if you do not do it. How could you promise something so important, when you are not even able to change the color of one hair on your head.
\v 37 If you talk about doing something, just say 'Yes, I will do it,' or 'No, I will not do it.' If you say anything more than that, it is Satan, the Evil One, who has suggested that you talk this way."
