“You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.
No one who practices deceit
will dwell in my house;
no one who speaks falsely
will stand in my presence.
The Lord detests lying lips,
but he delights in people who are trustworthy.
Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body.
Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices
and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.
Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person.
But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth.
Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
