The message translation puts today's reading in perspective. Jesus continued to address religious thinking by honing in on the significance of our words. "You don't make your words true by embellishing them with religious lace. In making your speech sound more religious it becomes less true." It's not of God (or the ONE who is 'LOVE') if we use words to try and get our own way. 'Don't say anything we don't mean' sums up the passage neatly.
