34. But I tell you, do not swear at all—not by heaven, for it is the throne of God;
35. or by the earth, for it is the footstool of His feet; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King.
36. And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make a single hair white or black.
37. But let your word ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No’—anything more than this is from the evil one.”
38. “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’
39. But I tell you, do not resist an evildoer. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn to him also the other.
40. And the one wanting to sue you and to take your shirt, let him also have your coat.
41. Whoever forces you to go one mile, go with him two.
