KJV ORIGINAL
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.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
But here's the most important thing, friends — don't make dramatic promises or swear on anything. Not on heaven, not on earth, not on your mom's life, nothing. Just let your yes mean yes and your no mean no. When you keep it simple and honest, you won't end up in trouble.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Your word should be solid enough that you don't need to swear on anything to back it up.
