Matthew 5:37 - Муқоисаи ҳамаи нусхаҳо

Паҳн кунед

All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.

Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything more than this comes from evil.

Just say a simple, ‘Yes, I will,’ or ‘No, I won’t.’ Anything beyond this is from the evil one.

But let your ‘yes’ mean ‘yes,’ and your ‘no’ mean ‘no.’ Anything more than this is from the evil one.

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 don’t say anything you don’t mean. This counsel is embedded deep in our traditions. You only make things worse when you lay down a smoke screen of pious talk, saying, ‘I’ll pray for you,’ and never doing it, or saying, ‘God be with you,’ and not meaning it. You don’t make your words true by embellishing them with religious lace. In making your speech sound more religious, it becomes less true. Just say ‘yes’ and ‘no.’ When you manipulate words to get your own way, you go wrong.

But make sure your statement is, ‘Yes, yes’ or ‘No, no’; anything beyond these is of evil origin.

But let your statement be, ‘Yes, yes’ or ‘No, no’ [a firm yes or no]; anything more than that comes from the evil one. [Lev 19:12; Num 30:2; Deut 23:21]

Let your word be ‘Yes, yes’ or ‘No, no.’ More than this is from the evil one.
