Swearing is out

After James 5:7-12 

I don’t know how

to say it any plainer.

Don’t swear. Above

all else, don’t swear.

Don’t swear by heaven,

don’t swear by earth.

Don’t swear in any

other way. Do

something novel;

do something that’s

revolutionary. Let

your yes be yes; let

your no be no. In

that way, you will 

avoid condemnation.

Do the righteous thing,

now. Do the Godly

thing, now. Don’t swear.
