False Teachers: False Witness

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.

…or finds lost property and lies about it and swears falsely, or if he commits any such sin that a man might commit—

You must not steal. You must not lie or deceive one another.

You must not swear falsely by My name and so profane the name of your God. I am the LORD.

You must not go about spreading slander among your people. You must not endanger the life of your neighbor. I am the LORD.

You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

If a false witness testifies against someone, accusing him of a crime, …

Do not hand me over to the will of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, breathing out violence.

Hostile witnesses come forward; they make charges I know nothing about.

There are six things that the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to Him: …

He who speaks the truth declares what is right, but a false witness speaks deceit.

An honest witness does not deceive, but a dishonest witness pours forth lies.

The wisdom of the prudent is to discern his way, but the folly of fools deceives them.

A truthful witness saves lives, but one who utters lies is deceitful.

Showing partiality to the wicked is not good, nor is depriving the innocent of justice.

A false witness will not go unpunished, and one who pours out lies will perish.

The desire of a man is loving devotion; better to be poor than a liar.

A corrupt witness mocks justice, and a wicked mouth swallows iniquity.

A lying witness will perish, but the man who listens to truth will speak forever.

Do not testify against your neighbor without cause, and do not deceive with your lips.

Like a club or sword or sharp arrow is a man who bears false witness against his neighbor.

Then he told me, “This is the curse that is going out over the face of all the land, for according to one side of the scroll, every thief will be removed; and according to the other side, every perjurer will be removed.

I will send it out, declares the LORD of Hosts, and it will enter the house of the thief and the house of him who swears falsely by My name. It will remain inside his house and destroy it, down to its timbers and stones.”

For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, and slander.

“Which ones?” the man asked. Jesus answered, “‘Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness,

Then some soldiers asked him, “And what should we do?” “Do not take money by force or false accusation,” he said. “Be content with your wages.”

You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not bear false witness, honor your father and mother.’”

The commandments “Do not commit adultery,” “Do not murder,” “Do not steal,” “Do not covet,” and any other commandments, are summed up in this one decree: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

We realize that law is not enacted for the righteous, but for the lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinful, for the unholy and profane, for killers of father or mother, for murderers,

…for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave traders and liars and perjurers, and for anyone else who is averse to sound teaching
