Matthew 5:36 in Context — Matthew 5
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.
38 Oísteis que fué dicho á los antiguos: Ojo por ojo, y diente por diente.
