But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
Note 20 at Mt. 5:37: We should not have to use an oath to validate what we say. If we do, that's a reflection on our integrity. If we have a good name (Prov. 22:1), our "yes" or "no" should be sufficient. God's words are sure (Ps. 18:30; 19:7; 89:34; 111:7; 138:2; 2 Cor. 1:20), and to be Christlike (like Christ) and godly (like God), ours must be, too.
