Council,  Canon

 1   4”,18|         bound themselves with an oath that they will neither eat
 2   7”,93|        Greeks. Wherefore no such oath, nor indeed any other oath
 3   7”,93|       oath, nor indeed any other oath taken in the face of an
 4   7”,93|         to Christians, but every oath in general. For the Lord
 5   7”,93|        head; but, instead of any oath, we are to say only yea,
 6   7”,93|       XXIX says that swearing an oath is forbidden once for all,
 7   7”,93|        and so much the more that oath which is taken with a view
 8   7”,93|         of their having taken an oath all too rashly and not to
 9   7”,93|         Presbyter Kyriakos by an oath contravening the legislation
10   7”,93|   necessity that he violated the oath, he is penanced six years;
11   7”,93|   because that man had taken the oath as a result of violence
12   7”,93|     there where he had taken the oath; and 3) he adds that he
13   7”,93|        repent because he took an oath. But as for all perjurers
14   8”,23|      sureties they might take an oath that they would not leave
15   8”,23|      other hand, we left out the oath on the ground that it was
16   8”,23|        require anyone to take an oath, either to God or to the
17   8”,23|         necessary to swear (take oath)?” And he replies: “Wherever
18   8”,23|        reverent person, swore an oath. Well, if you want to, you
19   8”,23|          was the one who took an oath. For even those who are
20   8”,23|        supposed to have taken an oath are supposed to be so great,
21   8”,23|          law which forbids every oath in general, and which I
22   8”,23|       class the man who takes an oath with the Evil One (by which
23   8”,23|      judge a person who takes an oath because some fellow servant
24   8”,23|       servant before him took an oath as a result of indolence,
25   8”,23|        case they swear any other oath than yea, yea and nay, nay;
26   8”,23|          happen to take any such oath. But even Chrysostom himself (
27   8”,23|       discourse 28 concerning an oath) condemns to the same penances
28   8”,23|         permit anyone to take an oath in the name of God, but
29   8”,23|         since in such a case the oath would be one involving the
30   8”,23|       oaths, but not a veritable oath, as St. Chrysostom says. (
31   8”,23|         talents by taking a true oath, did not, however, take
32   8”,23|        did not, however, take an oath, but, instead, paid the
33   8”,23|         the civil laws, after an oath has been investigated, that
34   8”,23|       with those perjurers whose oath has been scrutinized, assigns
35   8”,23|           but as for those whose oath has not been investigated
36   8”,23|      borne in mind, too, that an oath taken on the holy Gospel
37   8”,23|         believed even without an oath. For anyone that is capable
38   8”,23|        to be believed without an oath, then neither is he worthy
39   8”,23|     matter of superfluity for an oath to be taken in any case.
40   8”,23| trustworthy witnesses to take an oath. Moreover the 7th Ecum.
41   8”,23|        not compel him to take an oath; but if you know that he
42   8”,23|   prohibit anyone from taking an oath and who assert that swearing
