Matthew 5:37 - Forerunner Commentary

Matthew 5:37

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.’

39 ^aBut I tell you not to resist an evil person. ^bBut whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.
