Not Telling the Truth

Do not lie to one another, since you have taken off the old self with its practices,

…and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.

Lying lips are detestable to the LORD, but those who deal faithfully are His delight.

Make every effort to present yourself approved to God, an unashamed workman who accurately handles the word of truth.

Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

God is not a man, that He should lie, or a son of man, that He should change His mind. Does He speak and not act? Does He promise and not fulfill?

Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into Christ Himself, who is the head.

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor, for we are all members of one another.
