False Accusations

…keeping a clear conscience, so that those who slander you may be put to shame by your good behavior in Christ.

You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

“You shall not spread a false report. Do not join the wicked by being a malicious witness.

No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their vindication is from Me,” declares the LORD.

The judges shall investigate thoroughly, and if the witness is proven to be a liar who has falsely accused his brother,

…you must do to him as he intended to do to his brother. So you must purge the evil from among you.

Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.

The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.”

And I heard a loud voice in heaven saying: “Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of His Christ. For the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down—he who accuses them day and night before our God.

…who has no slander on his tongue, who does no harm to his neighbor, who casts no scorn on his friend,

As for you, what you intended against me for evil, God intended for good, in order to accomplish a day like this—to preserve the lives of many people.
