Matthew 5:33 in Context — Matthew 5

31 También fué dicho: Cualquiera que repudiare á su mujer, déle carta de divorcio:

32 Mas yo os digo, que el que repudiare á su mujer, fuera de causa de fornicación, hace que ella adultere; y el que se casare con la repudiada, comete adulterio.

33 Además habéis oído que fué dicho á los antiguos: No te perjurarás; mas pagarás al Señor tus juramentos.

34 Mas yo os digo: No juréis en ninguna manera: ni por el cielo, porque es el trono de Dios;

35 Ni por la tierra, porque es el estrado de sus pies; ni por Jerusalem, porque es la ciudad del gran Rey.
