²⁴ And he said, Art thou my very son Esau? And he said, I am.

⁹ Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;

²⁵ Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.

⁷ For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?

⁸ And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.

¹⁶ These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates:

⁸ Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:

²² Lying lips are abomination to the Lord: but they that deal truly are his delight.

¹⁹ The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment.

⁵ For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.

⁷ Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him?

⁸ Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God?
