Matthew 5:33
“Again you have heard that it was said to them of old time, 'You shall not make false vows, but shall perform to the Lord your vows,”
Verse in context — Matthew 5
31
It was also said, 'Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorce,
32
but I tell you that whoever puts away his wife, except for the cause of sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries her when she is put away commits adultery.
33
Again you have heard that it was said to them of old time, 'You shall not make false vows, but shall perform to the Lord your vows,
34
but I tell you, don't swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;
35
nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.
