The appeal against swearing by heaven or by the earth
하늘로나 땅으로나 맹세하는 일에 대한 권면
James 5:12: The letter says, “But above all things, my brothers, don’t swear—not by heaven, or by the earth, or by any other oath; but let your ‘yes’ be ‘yes’, and your ‘no’, ‘no’, so that you don’t fall into hypocrisy.” The Korean Revised Version reads 죄 정함을 면하라 (escape condemnation), where WEB reads “so that you don’t fall into hypocrisy”.

They are carried over from the tags on the Korean Revised Version, which are matched by name inside chapters that already have collected evidence, and a verse where the English says “he” carries none. All await human review. They are a separate list from the source passages above. An empty list does not mean the entry is absent from the text.
