Matthew 5:36
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Nor should you swear by your head, for you cannot make a single hair white or black.
In context
34 But I tell you not to swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne;
35 or by the earth, for it is His footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.
36 Nor should you swear by your head, for you cannot make a single hair white or black.
37 Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ Anything more comes from the evil one.
38 You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.’
