  1. The American OATH: Oath: I swear by Almighty God that I will tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Affirmation: I solemnly, sincerely and truly declare and affirm that I will tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

  2. a) “the truth” – i.e. that everything they say will be true b) “the whole truth” – i.e. that they will not leave anything out. Omitting something could alter the effect and impact of the evidence and make it untrue overall, even if no direct lie is told. In other words, it is to prevent the witness lying by the things he chooses not to say. c) “and nothing but the truth” – this is to prevent someone telling all of the truth, and leaving nothing out, but then adding something untrue on top of it, i.e. lying by adding a lie to what would, otherwise, be the truth.
