Matthew 5:31-37
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Divorce Practices Censured
31 “It was also said, Whoever divorces(A) his wife must give her a written notice of divorce.(B)[a] 32 But I tell you, everyone who divorces his wife, except in a case of sexual immorality,[b] causes her to commit adultery. And whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.(C)
Tell the Truth
33 “Again, you have heard that it was said to our ancestors,[c] You must not break your oath, but you must keep your oaths to the Lord.(D)[d] 34 But I tell you, don’t take an oath at all: either by heaven, because it is God’s throne; 35 or by the earth, because it is His footstool; or by Jerusalem, because it is the city of the great King.(E) 36 Neither should you swear by your head, because you cannot make a single hair white or black. 37 But let your word ‘yes’ be ‘yes,’ and your ‘no’ be ‘no.’[e] Anything more than this is from the evil one.(F)

New International Version
Divorce
31 “It has been said, ‘Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’[a](A) 32 But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.(B)
Oaths
33 “Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break your oath,(C) but fulfill to the Lord the vows you have made.’(D) 34 But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all:(E) either by heaven, for it is God’s throne;(F) 35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King.(G) 36 And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. 37 All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’;(H) anything beyond this comes from the evil one.[b](I)
