¹ But the Spirit saith expressly, that in later times some shall fall away from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons,

² through the hypocrisy of men that speak lies, branded in their own conscience as with a hot iron;

³ forbidding to marry, `and commanding' to abstain from meats, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by them that believe and know the truth.

⁴ For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, if it be received with thanksgiving:

¹⁶ There are six things which Jehovah hateth; Yea, seven which are an abomination unto him:

¹⁷ Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood;

¹⁸ A heart that deviseth wicked purposes, Feet that are swift in running to mischief,

¹⁹ A false witness that uttereth lies, And he that soweth discord among brethren.

²⁰ My son, keep the commandment of thy father, And forsake not the law of thy mother:

⁴⁴ Ye are of `your' father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and standeth 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 thereof.

⁷ He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: He that speaketh falsehood shall not be established before mine eyes.

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

¹⁰ and have put on the new man, that is being renewed unto knowledge after the image of him that created him:

¹¹ where there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondman, freeman; but Christ is all, and in all.

⁶ The getting of treasures by a lying tongue Is a vapor driven to and fro by them that seek death.

¹ Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;

² For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit have they opened against me: They have spoken unto me with a lying tongue.

³ They have compassed me about also with words of hatred, And fought against me without a cause.

²² Lying lips are an abomination to Jehovah; But they that deal truly are his delight.

¹³ The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth; for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid.

⁵ A faithful witness will not lie; But a false witness uttereth lies.

¹⁴ But if ye have bitter jealousy and faction in your heart, glory not and lie not against the truth.

²⁵ Wherefore, putting away falsehood, speak ye truth each one with his neighbor: for we are members one of another.

¹⁵ Without are the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the fornicators, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and every one that loveth and maketh a lie.

⁷ Excellent speech becometh not a fool; Much less do lying lips a prince.
