You can't even promise even a single breath past the one you are taking now as you read this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I say to you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is God's throne;; nor by earth, for it is His footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. Nor shall you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white or black. But let your yes by yes and your no, no. For whatever is more than these is from the evil one. The footnote in James for judgement is that it also means hypocricy. For what it is worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
