| When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed. | When you make a vow to God, do not delay to pay it; For He has no pleasure in fools. Pay what you have vowed. |
| But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil. | But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ For whatever is more than these is from the evil one. |
|
| And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. | So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. |
| With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright. | With the merciful You will show Yourself merciful; With a blameless man You will show Yourself blameless. |
| But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. | But I say to you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is God’s throne; nor by the earth, for it is His footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. |
