But I say to you, do not take oaths at all– not by heaven, because it is the throne of God,

只是我告诉你们，什么誓都不可起。不可指着天起誓，因为天是神的座位；

但是我告诉你们：什么誓都不可起。不可指着天起誓，因为天是上帝的宝座。

但是我告诉你们：什么誓都不可起。不可指着天起誓，因为天是神的宝座。

但我告诉你们，不可起誓。不可指着天起誓，因为天是上帝的宝座。

可是我告诉你们，总不可发誓，不可指着天发誓，因为天是神的宝座；

但是我告诉你们：根本不可起誓。不可指着天起誓，因为天是神的宝座；

只是我告訴你們，甚麼誓都不可起。不可指着天起誓，因為天是神的座位；

但是我告訴你們：甚麼誓都不可起。不可指着天起誓，因為天是上帝的寶座。

但是我告訴你們：甚麼誓都不可起。不可指着天起誓，因為天是神的寶座。

但我告訴你們，不可起誓。不可指著天起誓，因為天是上帝的寶座。

可是我告訴你們，總不可發誓，不可指著天發誓，因為天是神的寶座；

但是我告訴你們，一概不可起誓；不可指着天來起誓，因為天是上帝的座位；

但是我告訴你們：根本不可起誓。不可指著天起誓，因為天是神的寶座；

惟我語爾、概勿誓、勿指天、以天乃上帝座也、

惟我語汝、概勿誓、勿指天而誓、天乃上帝座也、

惟我告爾、概勿誓、勿指天而誓、因天乃天主之寶座也、

第吾語爾、毋發誓；毋指天而誓、此天主之寶座也；

But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne;

But here is what I tell you. Do not make any promises like that at all. Do not make them in the name of heaven. That is God’s throne.

But I say to you, Do not take an oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God,

But I say, do not make any vows! Do not say,‘ By heaven!’ because heaven is God’s throne.

But I tell you, don’t take an oath at all: either by heaven, because it is God’s throne;

But I say to you, take no oath at all, neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God,

But I say to you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is God’s throne;

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

But I tell you, don’t take an oath at all: either by heaven, because it is God’s throne;

But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God’s throne:

but I tell you, don’t swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;

And above all, my brothers and sisters, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or by any other oath. But let your“ Yes” be yes and your“ No” be no, so that you may not fall into judgment.

This is what the LORD says:“ The heavens are my throne and the earth is my footstool. Where then is the house you will build for me? Where is the place where I will rest?

When you make a vow to the LORD your God you must not delay in fulfilling it, for otherwise he will surely hold you accountable as a sinner.If you refrain from making a vow, it will not be sinful.Whatever you vow, you must be careful to do what you have promised, such as what you have vowed to the LORD your God as a freewill offering.

“ Woe to you, blind guides, who say,‘ Whoever swears by the temple is bound by nothing. But whoever swears by the gold of the temple is bound by the oath.’Blind fools! Which is greater, the gold or the temple that makes the gold sacred?And,‘ Whoever swears by the altar is bound by nothing. But if anyone swears by the gift on it he is bound by the oath.’You are blind! For which is greater, the gift or the altar that makes the gift sacred?So whoever swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it.And whoever swears by the temple swears by it and the one who dwells in it.And whoever swears by heaven swears by the throne of God and the one who sits on it.

For this is what the high and exalted one says, the one who rules forever, whose name is holy:“ I dwell in an exalted and holy place, but also with the discouraged and humiliated, in order to cheer up the humiliated and to encourage the discouraged.

Everyone shares the same fate– the righteous and the wicked, the good and the bad, the ceremonially clean and unclean, those who offer sacrifices and those who do not. What happens to the good person, also happens to the sinner; what happens to those who make vows, also happens to those who are afraid to make vows.
