James 5

Truthful Speech

12 Above all, my brothers and sisters, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath.  * 5:12 Mt 5:33–37; 23:16–22; Mk 7:9–13 But let your "yes" mean "yes," and your "no" mean "no," so that you won’t fall under judgment.  * 5:12 Other mss read fall into hypocrisy
