Matthew 5:36 - Forerunner Commentary

Matthew 5:36

34 But I say to you, ^ado not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is ^bGod’s throne;

35 nor by the earth, for it is His footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of ^athe great King.

36 Nor shall you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white or black.

37 ^aBut let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.

38 “You have heard that it was said, ^a‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’
