16For men swear by the greater: and in every dispute of theirs the oath is final for confirmation.
16 For people swear by something greater than themselves, and in all their disputes an oath is final for confirmation.
16 For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.
16 For people swear by what is greater than themselves, and the oath for confirmation is the end of all dispute for them.
16for men swear by the greater, and the oath [is] for confirmation of the end of all their controversy,
For men swear by one greater than themselves, and with them an oath given as confirmation is an end of every dispute.
16Now when people take an oath, they call on someone greater than themselves to hold them to it. And without any question that oath is binding.
