3. Do not promise anything on oath to anyone. 3. ´©±¸¿¡°Ô ¸Í¼¼·Î¼­ ¹«¾ùÀÌµç ¾à¼ÓÇÏÁö ¸»¶ó.

Immediately after the second commandment comes again a reference to the ancient law, and the third commandment is set forth (Matt. v. 33-7): 'Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths [Lev. xix. 12; Deut. xxiii. 21]: but I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven, for it is God's throne: nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. But your speech shall be. Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these is of the evil one.'

This passage when I had read it before had always perplexed me. It did so, not by its obscurity (as did the passage about divorce), nor by contra¡©dicting other passages (as did the sanction of anger with a cause), nor by the difficulty of fulfilling it (as with the passage about offering the other cheek); on the contrary, it perplexed me by its clearness, simplicity, and ease. Side by side with rules the profundity and importance of which terrified and touched me, one suddenly found such an un¡©necessary, empty, easy rule, which was of no conse¡©quence to me or to others. As it was, I swore neither by Jerusalem, nor by God, nor by anything else, and it cost me no effort to abstain: besides which it seemed to me that whether I swore or not could have no importance to anyone. And wishing to find an explanation of this rule which perplexed me by its ease, I turned to the interpreters; and this time the interpreters really helped me.

They all see in these words a confirmation of the third commandment of Moses- not to swear by the name of God. They explain these words to mean that Christ, like Moses, forbids us to pronounce God's name in vain. But besides this the interpreters also explain that this law of Christ's- not to swear-  is not always obligatory and does not relate at all to an oath of loyalty which each citizen gives to those who hold authority; and texts are selected from Holy Writ not to confirm the direct meaning of Christ's injunction, but to prove that it may and should be disobeyed.

It is said that Christ himself confirmed an oath in a court of law when in reply to the High Priest's words, 'I adjure thee by the living God', he replied, 'Thou hast said'. It is said that the apostle Paul called God to witness the truth of his words, which is evidently the same as an oath; it is said that oaths were enjoined by the law of Moses and that God did not abolish these oaths; it is said that it is only vain, pharisaical, hypocritical oaths that are abolished.

And on understanding the meaning and aim of these explanations I understood that Christ's in¡©junction concerning oaths is not at all so insignifi¡©cant, easy, and unimportant as it had seemed to me when, among the oaths prohibited by Christ, I had not included oaths demanded by the State.

And I asked myself: Is it not said here that the oath is also forbidden for which the Church com¡©mentators are so anxious to make an exception? Is not the oath here forbidden, that very oath without which the separation of men into nations is im¡©possible and without which a military class is im¡©possible? Soldiers are those who do all the violence, and they call themselves 'the sworn'. Were I to ask the Grenadier how he solves the contradiction between the Gospels and the military code he would tell me that he has been sworn in: that is to say, has taken an oath on the Gospels. Such replies have always been given me by military men. So necessary is an oath for the organization of the terrible evil which is produced by violence and war, that in France, where Christianity is officially re¡©jected, the oath is nevertheless retained. Indeed if Christ had not said 'Swear not at all', he ought to have said it. He came to destroy evil, and had he not abolished the oath this enormous evil would have remained in the world. Perhaps it will be said that in the time of Christ that evil was not noticeable. But this is untrue: Epictetus and Seneca spoke about not taking an oath to anyone; in the laws of Manu that rule is found. Why should I say that Christ did not see this evil? And especially when he said this so directly, clearly, and even minutely.

He said: Swear not at all. That expression is as simple, clear, and indubitable as the words 'Judge not and condemn not' and as little susceptible of misinterpretation, especially as it is added in con¡©clusion, that anything demanded of you beyond yes and no comes from the source of evil.

Really, if Christ's teaching is that one should always obey the will of God, how can a man swear to obey the will of man? The will of God may not coincide with the will of man. Indeed, in this very passage Christ says that very thing. He says, Swear not by thy head, for not only thy head but every hair of it, is in God's power. The same is said in the Epistle of James.

At the end of his Epistle, in conclusion, the Apostle James says (ch. v. 12): But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by the heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath: but let your yea be yea, and your nay, nay; that ye fall not under judgment. The Apostle says plainly why one should not swear: the oath by itself appears innocent, but from it people fall under judgment, and therefore swear not at all. How could what is said both by Christ and by the Apostle be said more plainly?

But I had been so entangled that I long asked myself in astonishment: Can it be that it means what it does mean? How is it that we are all made to swear on the Gospels? It is impossible!

±×·¯³ª ³ª´Â ³Ê¹«³ª ´çÈ²ÇØ¼­ ¿À·§µ¿¾È ³î¶ó¿ò ¼Ó¿¡¼­ ½º½º·Î ¹°¾ú´Ù: ±×°ÍÀÌ ÀǹÌÇÏ´Â °ÍÀÌ ÁøÁ¤ÇÑ ¶æÀÏ ¼ö ÀÖÀ»±î? ¾îÂîÇÏ¿© ¿ì¸® ¸ðµÎ°¡ º¹À½¼­¿¡ ¼ÕÀ» ¾ñ°í ¸Í¼¼¸¦ ÇØ¾ß¸¸ Çϴ°¡? ±×°ÍÀº ºÒ°¡´ÉÇÑ ÀÏÀÌ´Ù!

But I had already read the commentators and had seen how this impossibility was accomplished. As with the explanations of the words, Judge not, do not be angry with anybody, do not break the bond of husband and wife, so also here. We have established our ways of life, we like them and wish to consider them sacred. Then comes Christ, whom we consider to be God, but we do not wish to aban¡©don our ways of life. What are we to do? Where possible, slip in the words without a cause, and reduce the rule against anger to nothing; where possible, like the most unscrupulous of unjust judges, inter¡©pret the meaning of the articles of the law so as to make it mean the very reverse, and that instead of a command never to divorce one's wife it should mean that one may divorce her. And where, as in the case of the words Judge not, and condemn not, and swear not at all, it is quite impossible to misinterpret, act boldly and directly contrary to the teaching, affirming that we are obeying it. Indeed the chief obstacle to understanding that the Gospels forbid every vow, and especially every oath of allegiance, is that pseudo- Christian teachers with extraordinary effrontery oblige men, on the Gospels themselves, to swear by the Gospels- that is to say, oblige them to do what is contrary to the Gospels.

How can it occur to a man who is obliged to swear on a cross, or on the Gospels, that the cross is sacred because on it he was crucified who forbade us to swear, and that when taking an oath one perhaps kisses, as what is sacred, the very place in the book where it clearly and definitely says: Swear not at all.

But this effrontery no longer disconcerted me. I saw clearly that in Matt. v, verses 33 to 37, a definite and practicable third commandment is clearly expressed: Never take an oath to anyone, anywhere, about anything. Every oath is extorted for evil ends.
