Truth not in Need of an Oath
Matthew 26:33-35
Peter answered and said to him, Though all men shall be offended because of you, yet will I never be offended.…


Reality cares not to be tricked out with too taking an outside; and deceit, when she intends to cozen, studies disguise. Least of all should we be taken with swearing asseverations. Truth needs not the varnish of an oath to make her plainness credited.

(Owen Feltharn.)
