“You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
He who practices deceit shall not dwell within my house;
He who speaks falsehood shall not maintain his position before me.
Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord,
But those who deal faithfully are His delight.
Therefore, laying aside falsehood, speak truth each one of you with his neighbor, for we are members of one another.
Do not lie to one another, since you laid aside the old self with its evil practices,
and have put on the new self who is being renewed to a true knowledge according to the image of the One who created him—
The one who says, “I have come to know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him;
But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not be arrogant and so lie against the truth.
Outside are the dogs and the sorcerers and the immoral persons and the murderers and the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices lying.
