33 "Again you have heard that it was said to them of old time, `You shall not make false vows, but shall perform to the Lord your vows,`
34 but I tell you, don`t swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;
35 nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.
36 Neither shall you swear by your head, for you can`t make one hair white or black.
37 But let your speech be, `Yes, yes; No, no.` Whatever is more than these is of 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, don`t resist him who is evil; but whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.
