But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but
let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.
But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. For that ye ought to say,
If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
