You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
~ Exodus 20:16 (ESV)
No one who practices deceit shall dwell in my house; no one who utters lies shall continue
before my eyes.
~ Psalm 101:7 (ESV)
Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who act faithfully are his delight.
~ Proverbs 12:22 (ESV)
Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor,
for we are members one of another.
~ Ephesians 4:25 (ESV)
You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a
murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in
him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
~ John 8:44 (ESV)
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father
except through me.
~ John 14:6 (ESV)
O Lord, who shall sojourn in your tent?Who shall dwell on your holy hill? 2 He who walks
blamelessly and does what is right and speaks truth in his heart; 3 who does not slander
with his tongue and does no evil to his neighbor, nor takes up a reproach against his friend;
4
in whose eyes a vile person is despised, but who honors those who fear the Lord;
who swears to his own hurt and does not change; 5 who does not put out his money at
interest and does not take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall
never be moved.
~ Psalm 15 (ESV)
Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge.2
I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord; I have no
good apart from you.” 3 As for the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones, in whom
is all my delight. 4 The sorrows of those who run after another god shall multiply; their
drink offerings of blood I will not pour out or take their names on my lips. 5 The Lord is my
chosen portion and my cup; you hold my lot. 6 The lines have fallen for me in pleasant
places; indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance. 7
I bless the Lord who gives me counsel; in the
night also my heart instructs me. 8
I have set the Lord always before me; because he is at
my right hand, I shall not be shaken. 9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole
being rejoices; my flesh also dwells secure. 10
For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol, or
let your holy one see corruption. 11 You make known to me the path of life; in your
presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
~ Psalm 16 (ESV)
