JUSUS VERBIED EEDSWERINGE:

(Matthéüs 5:33-37)

33. "Verder het julle gehoor dat aan die mense van die ou tyd gesê is: 'Jy mag nie vals sweer nie, maar jy moet jou ede aan die Here hou.'

34. "Maar Ek sê vir julle: Sweer hoegenaamd nie - nie by die hemel nie, omdat dit die troon van God is;

35. "Ook nie by die aarde nie, omdat dit die voetbank van Sy voete is; ook nie by Jerusalem nie, omdat dit die stad is van die groot Koning;

36. "Ook by jou hoof mag jy nie sweer nie, omdat jy nie een haar swart of wit kan maak nie. 

37. "Maar laat julle woord wees: 'Ja, ja'; 'Nee, nee.' Wat meer as dit is, is uit die bose."

(God willing and by His marvellous grace and mercy, I will share the Word with you as often as I possibly can. /

As dit die wil van God is en deur Sy wonderbare genade en barmhartigheid, sal ek die Woord met u deel so dikwels as wat ek moontlik kan.)
