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.
Go the Second Mile
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.
