Summary
Jesus teaches that under the New Covenant, believers are always under an oath to tell the truth, unlike the Old Covenant where oaths were only sworn in specific settings. He emphasizes that God is always listening, meaning our words and intentions are always recorded and accountable to Him. This principle extends beyond formal settings into every aspect of our lives.
