Matthew 5:34 in Context — Matthew 5

32 Mais moi, je vous dis que celui qui répudie sa femme, sauf pour cause d’infidélité, l’expose à devenir adultère, et que celui qui épouse une femme répudiée commet un adultère.

33 Vous avez encore appris qu’il a été dit aux anciens:Tu ne te parjureras point, mais tu t’acquitteras envers le Seigneur de ce que tu as déclaré par serment.

34 Mais moi, je vous dis dene jurer aucunement, ni par le ciel, parce que c’est le trône de Dieu;

35 ni par la terre,parce que c’est son marchepied; ni par Jérusalem,parce que c’est la ville du grand roi.

36 Ne jure pas non plus par ta tête, car tu ne peux rendre blanc ou noir un seul cheveu.
