³⁴ But I say to you, ^(A)do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is ^(B)God’s throne;

^37 (A)But let ^[a]your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.

¹² But above all, my brethren, ^(A)do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath. But let your “Yes” be “Yes,” and your “No,” “No,” lest you fall into ^[a]judgment.

¹⁶ For men indeed swear by the greater, and ^(A)an oath for confirmation is for them an end of all dispute.

²³ Moreover ^(A)I call God as witness against my soul, ^(B)that to spare you I came no more to Corinth.

²⁵ So I ^(A)contended with them and ^[a]cursed them, struck some of them and pulled out their hair, and made them ^(B)swear by God, saying, “You shall not give your daughters as wives to their sons, nor take their daughters for your sons or yourselves.
