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

You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out his desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, refusing to uphold the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, because he is a liar and the father of lies.

But to the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and sexually immoral and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their place will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. This is the second death.”

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

Like glaze covering an earthen vessel are burning lips and a wicked heart. A hateful man disguises himself with his speech, but he lays up deceit in his heart. When he speaks graciously, do not believe him, for seven abominations fill his heart. Though his hatred is concealed by deception, his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly. He who digs a pit will fall into it, and he who rolls a stone will have it roll back on him. . . .

The righteous hate falsehood, but the wicked bring shame and disgrace.

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

Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but leave room for God’s wrath. For it is written: “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, says the Lord.”

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

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

But outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

“Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.” “The venom of vipers is on their lips.”

But if you harbor bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast in it or deny the truth.

You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

In the meantime, a crowd of many thousands had gathered, so that they were trampling one another. Jesus began to speak first to His disciples: “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known. What you have spoken in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the housetops. I tell you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear the One who, after you have been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear Him! . . .

haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,

Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue lasts only a moment.

influenced by the hypocrisy of liars, whose consciences are seared with a hot iron.

A wicked man listens to evil lips; a liar gives ear to a destructive tongue.

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

A false witness will not go unpunished, and one who utters lies will not escape.

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

There are six things that the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to Him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that run swiftly to evil, a false witness who gives false testimony, and one who stirs up discord among brothers.

Certainly not! Let God be true and every man a liar. As it is written: “So that You may be proved right when You speak and victorious when You judge.”

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness!’

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

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

Every word of God is flawless; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him.

A lying tongue hates those it crushes, and a flattering mouth causes ruin.

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

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 that agrees with the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted.

Making a fortune by a lying tongue is a vanishing mist, a deadly pursuit.

If anyone says, “I love God,” but hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.

No one who practices deceit shall dwell in my house; no one who tells lies shall stand in my presence.

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

But nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who practices an abomination or a lie, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

I hate and abhor falsehood, but Your law I love.

in the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began.

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

Thus by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us may be strongly encouraged.

Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth.

Do not add to His words, lest He rebuke you and prove you a liar.

Who is the liar, if it is not the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, who denies the Father and the Son.

The wicked are estranged from the womb; the liars go astray from birth.

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

But the king will rejoice in God; all who swear by Him will exult, for the mouths of liars will be shut.

“You will not surely die,” the serpent told her.

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

Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and withhold some of the proceeds from the land?

Eloquent words are unfit for a fool; how much worse are lying lips to a ruler!

Rid yourselves, therefore, of all malice, deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander. Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good. As you come to Him, the living stone, rejected by men but chosen and precious in God’s sight, you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. . . .

The one who conceals hatred has lying lips, and whoever spreads slander is a fool.

In my alarm I said, “All men are liars!”

Though the arrogant have smeared me with lies, I keep Your precepts with all my heart.

May lying lips be silenced—lips that speak with arrogance against the righteous, full of pride and contempt.

By the sins of their mouths and the words of their lips, let them be trapped in their pride, in the curses and lies they utter.

You shall not follow the crowd in wrongdoing. When you testify in a lawsuit, do not pervert justice by siding with the crowd.

The weapons of the scoundrel are destructive; he hatches plots to destroy the poor with lies, even when the plea of the needy is just.

Like a madman shooting firebrands and deadly arrows, so is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, “I was only joking!”

You destroy those who tell lies; the LORD abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit.

I know your deeds, your labor, and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate those who are evil, and you have tested and exposed as liars those who falsely claim to be apostles.

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?

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.

But You, O God, will bring them down to the Pit of destruction; men of bloodshed and deceit will not live out half their days. But I will trust in You.

“Indeed,” declares the LORD, “I am against those who prophesy false dreams and retell them to lead My people astray with their reckless lies. It was not I who sent them or commanded them, and they are of no benefit at all to these people,” declares the LORD.

Again, you have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill your vows to the Lord.’ But I tell you not to swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne; or by the earth, for it is His footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. Nor should you swear by your head, for you cannot make a single hair white or black. Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ Anything more comes from the evil one.

For wicked and deceitful mouths open against me; they speak against me with lying tongues.

These are the things you must do: Speak truth to one another, render true and sound judgments in your gates,

If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not bridle his tongue, he deceives his heart and his religion is worthless.

Woe to the city of blood, full of lies, full of plunder, never without prey.

You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

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

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for instruction, for conviction, for correction, and for training in righteousness,

Remove me from the path of deceit and graciously grant me Your law.

The remnant of Israel will no longer do wrong or speak lies, nor will a deceitful tongue be found in their mouths. But they will feed and lie down, with no one to make them tremble.”

They lie to one another; they speak with flattering lips and a double heart.

Cursing and lying, murder and stealing, and adultery are rampant; one act of bloodshed follows another.

But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these things defile a man. For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, and slander. These are what defile a man, but eating with unwashed hands does not defile him.”

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

Dishonest scales are an abomination to the LORD, but an accurate weight is His delight.

Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips and a deceitful tongue.

Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Instead, fear the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

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

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.

Every word of God is flawless; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him. Do not add to His words, lest He rebuke you and prove you a liar.

If anyone says, “I know Him,” but does not keep His commandments, he is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

The coming of the lawless one will be accompanied by the working of Satan, with every kind of power, sign, and false wonder,

Since we live by the Spirit, let us walk in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying one another.

For, “Whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech.

Then a spirit came forward, stood before the LORD, and said, ‘I will entice him.’ ‘By what means?’ asked the LORD. And he replied, ‘I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouths of all his prophets.’ ‘You will surely entice him and prevail,’ said the LORD. ‘Go and do it.’ So you see, the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouths of these prophets of yours, and the LORD has pronounced disaster against you.”

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother” (which is the first commandment with a promise), “that it may go well with you and that you may have a long life on the earth.” Fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath; instead, bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear and sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. . . .

A hateful man disguises himself with his speech, but he lays up deceit in his heart.

The one who overcomes will inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he will be My son. But to the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and sexually immoral and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their place will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. This is the second death.”

Surely You desire truth in the inmost being; You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.

Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who submit to or perform homosexual acts, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor verbal abusers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise as some understand slowness, but is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish but everyone to come to repentance.

You have profaned Me among My people for handfuls of barley and scraps of bread. By lying to My people who would listen, you have killed those who should not have died and spared those who should not have lived.

Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to His disciples: “The scribes and Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. So practice and observe everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. They tie up heavy, burdensome loads and lay them on men’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them. All their deeds are done for men to see. They broaden their phylacteries and lengthen their tassels. . . .

I testify to everyone who hears the words of prophecy in this book: If anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book. And if anyone takes away from the words of this book of prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and the holy city, which are described in this book.
