- Swear:
- "When¹ thou shalt vowª° a vowª unto the LORDª thy God,ª thou shalt not¹ slackª° to payª° it: for¹ the LORDª thy Godª will surely²° requireª° it of¹¹ thee; and it would be¹ sinª in thee. ... That which is gone outª of thy lipsª thou shalt keepª° and perform;ª° [even] a freewill offering,ª according as¹ thou hast vowedª° unto the LORDª thy God,ª which¹ thou hast promisedª° with thy mouth.ª" {Deu 23:21-23} + "All¹ [things come] alike¹ to all:¹ [there is] oneª eventª to the righteous,ª and to the wicked;ª to the goodª and to the clean,ª and to the unclean;ª to him that sacrificeth,ª° and to him that² sacrificethª°¹ not:¹ as [is] the good,ª so [is] the sinner;ª° [and] he that sweareth,ª° as¹ [he] that feareth²¹ an oath.ª" {Ecc 9:2} + "Butª aboveª all things,ª myª brethren,ª swearª° not,ª neitherª by heaven,ª neitherª by the¹ earth,ª neitherª by any²¹ other²¹ oath:ª butª let²° yourª yeaª beª° yea;ª andª [your]¹ nay,ª nay;ª lestª ye fallª° intoª condemnation.ª" {Jms 5:12}
