Lying
How long will you lust after lies? How long will you
live crazed by illusion? — Psalm 4:2
Don’t talk out of both sides of your mouth; avoid careless
banter, white lies, and gossip.—Proverbs 4:24
Truth lasts; lies are here today, gone tomorrow.
—Proverbs 12:19
The person who tells lies gets caught; the person who
spreads rumors is ruined.—Proverbs 19:9
God’s angry displeasure erupts as acts of human mistrust
and wrongdoing and lying accumulate, as people
try to put a shroud over truth.—Romans 1:18
God keeps his word even when the whole world is
lying through its teeth.—Romans 3:4
Tell your neighbor the truth. In Christ’s body we’re all
connected to each other, after all. When you lie to
others, you end up lying to yourself.—Ephesians 4:25
But you know better now, so make sure it’s all gone for
good: bad temper, irritability, meanness, profanity, dirty
talk. Don’t lie to one another. You’re done with that
old life. It’s like a filthy set of ill-fitting clothes you’ve
stripped off and put in the fire. Now you’re dressed in
a new wardrobe. Every item of your new way of life is
custom-made by the Creator, with his label on it. All
the old fashions are now obsolete.—Colossians 3:8-10
These liars have lied so well and for so long that they’ve
lost their capacity for truth.—1 Timothy 4:2
If we claim that we experience a shared life with him
and continue to stumble around in the dark, we’re
obviously lying through our teeth—we’re not living
what we claim.—1 John 1:6
