5:37Let your word be ‘Yes, yes’ or ‘No, no.’ More than this is from the evil one.44
Footnotes
- 44 The term πονηροῦ (ponērou) may be understood as specific and personified, referring to the devil, or possibly as a general reference to evil. It is most likely personified, however, since it is articular (τοῦ πονηροῦ, tou ponērou). Cf. also “the evildoer” in v. 39, which is the same construction.
