King James Version
"But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil."
— Matthew 5:37, King James Version
“But let your speech be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: and whatsoever is more than these is of the evil one. ”
“But let your 'Yes' be 'Yes' and your 'No' be 'No.' Whatever is more than these is of the evil one.”
“Let your word be‘Yes, yes’ or‘No, no.’ More than this is from the evil one.”
“But let your speech be yea, yea: no, no: and that which is over and above these, is of evil.”
“But let your words be simply, Yes or No: and whatever is more than these is of the Evil One.”
“But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.”
But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God’s throne:
Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.
