AMPLIFIED 2015 | James 5:12 ¶ But above all, my fellow believers, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath; but let your yes be [a truthful] yes, and your no be [a truthful] no, so that you may not fall under judgment. [Matt 5:34-37] |
Bible Question:
Are we to never swear, including solem oaths? What does the all in "above all" refer to? |
Bible Answer: Yes! We should not swear (Matt. 5:33-37), including solemn oaths. I believe that "above all" means, "of the utmost importance".. --Nolan |
