Commentary on Matthew 5:37
Simple yes or no should suffice for honest people. Anything beyond this 'cometh of evil'—either from personal dishonesty requiring elaborate assurances, or from living in an evil world where people don't trust simple truth. Christians should be so consistently truthful that their simple word is trusted completely.
