Matt.5.37

But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.

Matt.5.37

Is that going to get us anywhere? Here's what I propose: "Don't hit back at all.' If someone strikes you, stand there and take it.

Matt.5.37

Simply let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No,No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.

Matt.5.37

But let your "Yes' be "Yes,' and your "No,' "No.' For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.

Matt.5.37

Just say a simple, 'Yes, I will,' or 'No, I won't.' Your word is enough. To strengthen your promise with a vow shows that something is wrong.
