Matthew 5:36 in Context — Matthew 5
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.
37 Que votre parole soit oui, oui, non, non; ce qu’on y ajoute vient du malin.
38 Vous avez appris qu’il a étédit: œil pour œil, et dent pour dent.
