Old Testament

New Testament

Matthew 5:31-36 New English Translation (NET)

31. “It was said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife must give her a legal document.’

32. But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except for immorality, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

33. “Again, you have heard that it was said to an older generation, ‘Do not break an oath, but fulfill your vows to the Lord.’

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

35. not by earth, because it is his footstool, and not by Jerusalem, because it is the city of the great King.

36. Do not take an oath by your head, because you are not able to make one hair white or black.
