Matthew 5:34-36

International Children’s Bible

³⁴ But I tell you, never make an oath. Don’t make an oath using the name of heaven, because heaven is God’s throne. ³⁵ Don’t make an oath using the name of the earth, because the earth belongs to God. Don’t make an oath using the name of Jerusalem, because that is the city of the great King. ³⁶ And don’t even say that your own head is proof that you will keep your oath. You cannot make one hair on your head become white or black.
