So stay here for the night. In the morning if he wants to help you, good. Let him help you. But if he doesn’t want to, then I’ll do it. You can be sure that the Lord lives. And you can be just as sure that I’ll help you. Lie down here until morning.”

人總是指著比自己更大的起誓，並用誓言作保證，了結各樣的爭論。

說：「老師，摩西說，『如果一個人死了，沒有兒女，只留下妻子，他的兄弟就當娶嫂嫂，替哥哥傳宗接代。』從前，我們這裡有弟兄七人，老大結了婚，沒有孩子就死了，把妻子留給了弟弟。二弟、三弟一直到七弟都相繼娶了嫂嫂，都沒留下孩子。最後，那女人也死了。

「如果兄弟們住在一起，其中一個沒有兒子便死了，死者的妻子不可改嫁給外人。死者的兄弟要盡兄弟的責任娶她為妻。她生的第一個兒子要算為死者的兒子，免得死者在以色列絕後。如果死者的兄弟不願娶那寡婦，她要到城門口見長老們，告訴他們，『我丈夫的兄弟不肯盡兄弟的責任娶我，不肯為我丈夫留後。』長老們要把死者的兄弟召來，與他商談。如果他執意不肯，那寡婦要當著眾長老的面，上前脫下他的鞋，吐唾沫在他臉上，說，『這就是不肯為兄弟留後之人的下場。』

我求上帝為我作證：我沒有去哥林多，是為了寬容你們。
