Let your yes be yes and your no be no

“But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.” - Matthew 5v37

Jesus continued to speak about the correlation between what is done on the outside and what is going on inside the heart. It was common practice in His time on earth and even today where we are supposed to make a promise, or swear an oath to prove that we are going to do what we say or that we are speaking the truth.

Easy enough to take an oath and easy enough to break it. Jesus says that we are not even to take an oath. Jesus’ teaching is simple – just tell the truth! Simple enough, no hassle, no complication, no deep theology – just tell the truth.

it's kinda easy to tell then Scene that who is telling a lie or who is telling a truth.people's eyes never lie.so staring at and paying more atttentions.staring at the one's throat who you have a conversation with ,,,just staring at ,,then you will find that he is swallowing his Saliva.the more lie he tells the more Saliva he swallow.;)hope this works for you .
