Tree Of Life Version

Matthew 5:31-37 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

31. “It was said, ‘Whoever sends his wife away, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’

32. But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

33. “Again, you have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but shall carry out your oaths to Adonai.’

34. But I tell you, do not swear at all—not by heaven, for it is the throne of God;

35. or by the earth, for it is the footstool of His feet; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King.

36. And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make a single hair white or black.

37. But let your word ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No’—anything more than this is from the evil one.”
