Matthew 5:35 in Context — Matthew 5

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.

36 Ni por tu cabeza jurarás, porque no puedes hacer un cabello blanco ó negro.

37 Mas sea vuestro hablar: Sí, sí; No, no; porque lo que es más de esto, de mal procede.
