“Again you have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform to the Lord what you have sworn.’ 34 But I say to you, Do not take an oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, 35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. 36 And do not take an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. 37 Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything more than this comes from evil.”
"And I told them of the hand of my God that had been upon me for good, and also of the words that the king had spoken to me. And they said, “Let us rise up and build.” So they strengthened their hands for the good work.”
“Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor”
“So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God”
“Do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others”
“Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor”
”Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice”
