12ከሁሉም በላይ ወንድሞቼ ሆይ፤ በሰማይ ወይም በምድር ወይም በማናቸውም ነገር ቢሆን አትማሉ፤ "አዎ" ቢሆን አዎ ይሁን፤ "አይደለም" ቢሆን አይደለም ይሁን፤ ያለዚያ ይፈረድባችኋል።
12But above all things, my brothers, don't swear, neither by heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath; but let your "yes" be "yes," and your "no," "no;" so that you don't fall into hypocrisy.
