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

'Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight.'

Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

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

Lie not one to another, seeing ye have put off the old man.

And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

Lie not one to another, seeing ye have put off the old man.

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Devil is a liar, and the father of it.

These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

Lying tongue and false witness among things God hates.

A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

Lying tongue and false witness among things God hates.

An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

Lying tongue and false witness among things God hates.

A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

Lying tongue and false witness among things God hates.

But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

All liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire.

But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,

Ananias and Sapphira struck dead for lying to the Holy Ghost.

And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles’ feet.

Ananias and Sapphira struck dead for lying to the Holy Ghost.

But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?

Ananias and Sapphira struck dead for lying to the Holy Ghost.

Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.

Ananias and Sapphira struck dead for lying to the Holy Ghost.

And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.

And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him.

And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.

Ananias and Sapphira struck dead for lying to the Holy Ghost.

And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.

Ananias and Sapphira struck dead for lying to the Holy Ghost.

Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.

Ananias and Sapphira struck dead for lying to the Holy Ghost.

Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband.

And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things.

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

A false witness shall not be unpunished.

Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.

Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.

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:

Speak every man the truth to his neighbour.

And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, saith the LORD.

Speak every man the truth to his neighbour.
