Jesus confirmed the seriousness of making vows when he stated: “It was said to those of ancient times: ‘ You must not swear without performing, but you must pay your vows to Jehovah. ’ ” ​ — Matt.
Yesus juga mengajar bahwa ikrar kepada Allah itu serius. Dia berkata, ” Telah dikatakan kepada mereka yang hidup di zaman purba, ’ Jangan bersumpah tanpa melaksanakannya, tetapi engkau harus membayar ikrarmu kepada Yehuwa. ’ ” — Mat.
