Be perfect

Speaker Notes

Matthew 5:48 (I apologize for the bad sound quality)

48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Matthew 5:33-37

Oaths

33 “Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill to the Lord the vows you have made.’ 34 But I tell you, do not swear an oath 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 And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. 37 All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.

Leviticus 19:12

12 “‘Do not swear falsely by my name and so profane the name of your God. I am the Lord.
