⁷ Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is to your advantage that I go away, for if I don't go away, the Counselor won't come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.

¹⁴ The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.

⁶ Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.

³² The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable, But the mouth of the wicked is perverse.

³¹ Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, "If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.

³² You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."

³³ They answered him, "We are Abraham's seed, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How do you say, 'You will be made free?'"

¹⁸ My little children, let's not love in word only, neither with the tongue only, but in deed and truth.

¹⁵ Give diligence to present yourself approved by God, a workman who doesn't need to be ashamed, properly handling the Word of Truth.

² He who walks blamelessly does what is right, And speaks truth in his heart;

³ He who doesn't slander with his tongue, Nor does evil to his friend, Nor casts slurs against his fellow man;

⁴ In whose eyes a vile man is despised, But who honors those who fear Yahweh; He who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn't change;

²⁴ Put away from yourself a perverse mouth. Put corrupt lips far from you.

⁵ "Every word of God is flawless. He is a shield to those who take refuge in him.

¹⁸ Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.

³⁰ I have chosen the way of truth. I have set my heart on your law.

²⁰ We know that the Son of God has come, and has given us an understanding, that we know him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

¹³ Keep your tongue from evil, And your lips from speaking lies.

⁶ If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and don't tell the truth.

²⁴ God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth."

¹ Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, proof of things not seen.

¹² But above all things, my brothers, don't swear, neither by heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath; but let your "yes" be "yes," and your "no," "no;" so that you don't fall into hypocrisy.{TR reads "under judgment" instead of "into hypocrisy"}

¹⁵ but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, Christ;

²⁷ As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you don't need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, you will remain in him.

⁵ Guide me in your truth, and teach me, For you are the God of my salvation, I wait for you all day long.

⁴ For the word of Yahweh is right. All his work is done in faithfulness.

²⁶ "When the Counselor{Greek Parakletos: Counselor, Helper, Advocate, Intercessor, and Comfortor.} has come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will testify about me.
