Here is another important thing to remember, my Christian friends. When you want to make a strong promise, never use extra words. Do not say, ‘I promise by heaven,’ or ‘I promise by the earth.’ Do not use any extra words like that. When you say ‘yes,’ that should be enough. When you say ‘no,’ that should also be enough. If you say more than that, God will say that you have done a wrong thing. James 5:12
我的弟兄們，最要緊的是不可起誓；不可指着天起誓，也不可指着地起誓，無論何誓都不可起。你們說話，是，就說是；不是，就說不是，免得你們落在審判之下。 雅各書 5:12
