¹⁶ Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

⁵ A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.

¹⁸ He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,

³ He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.
