New Testament in Greek (UBS.Ed.26) |
|
|
| 33 | 'Again, you have learned that they were told, "Do not break your oath", and, "Oaths sworn to the Lord must be kept." | Teaching about Oaths Mt.5.33-37 | Lv.19.12 | Nu.30.2 | Dt.23.21 | Πάλιν ἠκούσατε ὅτι ἐρρέθη τοῖς ἀρχαίοις, Οὐκ ἐπιορκήσεις, ἀποδώσεις δὲ τῷ κυρίῳ τοὺς ὅρκους σου. |
|
| 34 | But what I tell you is this: You are not to swear at all—not by heaven, for it is God's throne, | - But I say to you, Do not swear at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, Mt.5.34 | Is.66.1 | ἐγὼ δὲ λέγω ὑμῖν μὴ ὀμόσαι ὁλως· μήτε ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ, ὅτι θρόνος ἐστὶν τοῦ θεοῦ· |
|
| 35 | nor by earth, for it is his footstool, nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King, | | μήτε ἐν ὑποπόδιόν ἐστιν τῶν ποδῶν αὐτοῦ· μήτε εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα, ὅτι πόλις ἐστὶν τοῦ μεγάλου βασιλέως· |
|
| 36 | nor by your own head, because you cannot turn one hair of it white or black. | | μήτε ἐν τῇ κεφαλῇ σου ὀμόσῃς, ὅτι οὐ δύνασαι μίαν τρίχα λευκὴν ποιῆσαι ἢ μέλαιναν. |
|
| 37 | Plain "Yes" or "No" is all you need to say; anything beyond that comes from the devil.
| | ἐστω δὲ ὁ λόγος ὑμῶν ναὶ ναί, οὒ οὐ· τὸ δὲ περισσὸν τούτων ἐκ τοῦ πονηροῦ ἐστιν. |
