New Century Version
Matthew 5:32-34
New Century Version
32 But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife forces her to be guilty of adultery. The only reason for a man to divorce his wife is if she has sexual relations with another man. And anyone who marries that divorced woman is guilty of adultery.
Make Promises Carefully
33 “You have heard that it was said to our people long ago, ‘Don’t break your promises, but keep the promises you make to the Lord.’[a] 34 But I tell you, never swear an oath. Don’t swear an oath using the name of heaven, because heaven is God’s throne.
