The Gospel of Matthew - Concerning Oaths | Matthew Chapter 5 : 33 - 37

In the Gospel of Matthew - Jesus addresses the issue of oaths and vows. He instructs his followers not to swear by anything, whether by heaven, earth, Jerusalem, or even by their own heads, because they cannot make anything happen by their own power. Instead, Jesus teaches that their yes should mean yes, and their no should mean no. He emphasizes the importance of honesty and integrity in communication, advising against the need for elaborate oaths to validate one's words. This passage highlights the value of sincerity and truthfulness in speech, reflecting the character of God, who is faithful and true.
