Matthew 5:34 - Forerunner Commentary

Matthew 5:34

32 But I say to you that ^awhoever divorces his wife for any reason except¹ sexual immorality causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery.

Jesus Forbids Oaths

33 “Again you have heard that ^ait was said to those of old, ^b‘You shall not swear falsely, but ^cshall perform your oaths to the Lord.’

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.
