A Spirit-controlled tongue
James 5:12 (JDV)
James 5:12 Above all, my brothers and sisters, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath. But let your “yes” mean “yes,” and your “no” mean “no,” so that you won’t fall under judgment.
A Spirit-controlled tongue
The same tongue that could get a person in trouble by criticizing and complaining can also get a person in trouble by swearing rashly. James encourages his readers to allow God’s Holy Spirit to tame their tongues — something that no human can do. A Spirit-controlled tongue needs no extra help from an oath. His yes means yes. Her no means no.
