Matthew 5:34 in context

  1. 32but I tell you that whoever puts away his wife, except for the cause of sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries her when she is put away commits adultery.
  2. 33“Again you have heard that it was said to the ancient ones, ‘You shall not make false vows, but shall perform to the Lord your vows,’
  3. 34but I tell you, don’t swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;
  4. 35nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.
  5. 36Neither shall you swear by your head, for you can’t make one hair white or black.
