OET (OET-RV) But most importantly, brothers and sisters, don’t swear by heaven or earth or by any other kind of oath but simply be honest so that ‘yes’ means yes and ‘no’ means no, then you won’t end up getting judged.

OET-LV Before but, all things, brothers of _me, not be _swearing, neither the by _heaven, nor the earth, nor other any oath, but let _be of _you _all your Yes be, yes, and your No be, no, in _order _that not under judgement you _all _may _fall.

ULT But before all, my brothers, do not swear, neither, by the heaven nor, by the earth, nor, by any other oath. But let your “Yes” be “Yes” and your “No,” “No,” so that you may not fall under judgment.

UST Now this, my fellow believers, is something very important for you to realize. You must never take an oath by calling on heaven or the earth or anything else to guarantee a promise that you make. All you need to say is “Yes” or “No.” God will judge you if you go beyond that and make an oath but then do not keep your promise.

T4T Also, my fellow believers, I want to say something important about how you talk. If you say that you will do something, do not say, “If I do not do it, may God in heaven [MTY] punish me.” Do not even say, “If I do not do it, may someone here on earth [MTY] punish me.” Do not say anything like that. Instead, if you say “Yes,” then do what you said that you would do. If you say “No,” then do not do it. Otherwise, God will condemn you.

LEB Now above all, my brothers, do not swear either by heaven or by earth or by any other oath, but let your yes be yes and your no, no, in order that you may not fall under judgment.
