Matthew 5:36
King James Version
6 Jun 2026
“Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.”
δύναμαι
To be able, to have power, to be capable. Dunamai. With God all things are possible. The limit of what is possible is not human ability but divine will.

μήτε
Neither, not even, not yet. Not by might nor by power but by My Spirit says the LORD. Human effort alone will never accomplish God's purposes.
