We also know that law is made not for the righteous but for law-

adulterers and perverts, for slave traders and liars and perjurers—
and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine. (1 Timothy,
1:9-10)

Again, you have heard that it was

break your oath, but keep the
oaths you have made to the
Lord.' (Matthew, 5:33)
