35 The earth is God's footstool, so don't swear by the earth. Jerusalem is the city of the great king, so don't swear by it.
36 Don't swear by your own head. You cannot make one hair white or black.
37 When you make a promise, say only “Yes” or “No.” Anything else comes from the devil.
38 You know you have been taught, “An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.”
39 But I tell you not to try to get even with a person who has done something to you. When someone slaps your right cheek, turn and let that person slap your other cheek.
40 If someone sues you for your shirt, give up your coat as well.
41 If a soldier forces you to carry his pack one kilometer, carry it two kilometers.
