31It was said also, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:

32but I say unto you, that every one that putteth away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, maketh her an adulteress: and whosoever shall marry her when she is put away committeth adultery.

33Again, ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:

34but I say unto you, swear not at all; neither by the heaven, for it is the throne of God;

35nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.

36Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, for thou canst not make one hair white or black.

37But let your speech be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: and whatsoever is more than these is of the evil [one].
