Matthew 5:33-37

³³ 'Again, you have heard how it was said to our ancestors, You must not break your oath, but must fulfil your oaths to the Lord.

³⁴ But I say this to you, do not swear at all, either by heaven, since that is God's throne;

³⁵ or by earth, since that is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, since that is the city of the great King.

³⁶ Do not swear by your own head either, since you cannot turn a single hair white or black.

³⁷ All you need say is "Yes" if you mean yes, "No" if you mean no; anything more than this comes from the Evil One.
