You must not give false evidence against others.
No one who is dishonest will live in my house; no liars will be allowed in my presence.
The Lord hates liars but is happy with those who are trustworthy.
So reject lies, and tell the truth to each other—for we belong to each other.
Don't lie to each other, since you've discarded your old self and what you used to do,
and put on your new self that is always being made more like your Creator, understanding better who he really is.
Anyone who says, “I know him,” but doesn't do what he says, is a liar. They don't have the truth.
But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, don't boast about it and don't lie against the truth.
Those outside the city are dogs, those who practice witchcraft, those who are sexually immoral, those who murder, those who worship idols, and all those who love and invent lies.
