壹、對於基督教徒，手按的是《聖經》，誓詞為： I swear by almighty God that the evidence I shall give shall be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth；對於穆斯林，則是手按《可蘭經》，將almighty God換成Allah；猶太教則是手按《舊約》，誓詞與基督徒相同；
二、對於不信教的人們來說，則是跟讀下面壹段誓詞：I do solemnly, sincerely and truly declare and affirm that the evidence I shall give shall be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth。至於摩門教和Quaker的宣誓，也都是大同小異，還是這些法言法語。
