"Not...a universal condemnation of oaths..." Hank: 5:34 *do not swear at all.* "This should not be taken as a universal condemnation of oaths in all circumstances. God Himself confirmed a promise with an oath (Heb 6:13-18). Christ Himself spoke under oath (Matt 26:63,64). And the law prescribed oaths in certain circumstances (e.g., Num 5:19,21; 30:2,3). What Christ is forbidding here is the flippant, profane, or careless use of oaths in everyday speech. In that culture, such oaths were often employed for deceptive purposes." (p. 1401, MacArthur Study Bible, Word, 1997) |
