Meditating on the Scriptures Together

1 John 4:15-16

[15] Whoever confesses
that Jesus is the Son of God,
God abides in him, and he in God.
[16] So
we have come to know and to believe
the love that God has for us.
God is love,
and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.

Matthew 5:33-37


33 “Again you have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform to the Lord what you have sworn.’ 34 But I say to you, Do not take an oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, 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 take an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. 37 Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything more than this comes from evil.”
