# Above all, my brothers,
"This is important, my fellow believers"
# do not swear
"do not make an oath" or "do not make a vow"
# either by heaven or by the earth
The words "heaven" and "earth" refer to the spiritual or human authorities that are in heaven and earth.
# let your "Yes" mean "Yes" and your "No" mean "No,"
"If you say "Yes" or "No," say it truthfully"
# so you do not fall under judgment
"so God will not punish you"
