I swear!
I don’t know how it is these days. but during my time, every second sentence in college campuses used to be embellished by the phrase “I swear”. For instance my friend M____ would aver “I swear I didn’t go to D.C. Motor class” to a group of fellow residents playing tennis ball cricket with a T-Square (these were olden days of Engineering education!) for bat in hostel corridor; their suspicion gradually gives birth to a tinge of envy as M____ triumphantly declares “I swear I saw her”.
That may be a passing phase, but the Scriptures enjoin us to refrain from swearing.
Let your “yea” be “yea” and your “nay”,”nay”
