⁸ Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honorable, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

⁷ Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is expedient for you that I go away; for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I go, I will send him unto you.

¹⁴ And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth.

⁶ Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me.

³² The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable; But the mouth of the wicked `speaketh' perverseness.

³¹ Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed him, If ye abide in my word, `then' are ye truly my disciples;

³² and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

³³ They answered unto him, We are Abraham's seed, and have never yet been in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?

¹⁸ `My' Little children, let us not love in word, neither with the tongue; but in deed and truth.

¹⁵ Give diligence to present thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, handling aright the word of truth.

² He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, And speaketh truth in his heart;

³ He that slandereth not with his tongue, Nor doeth evil to his friend, Nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbor;

⁴ In whose eyes a reprobate is despised, But who honoreth them that fear Jehovah; He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not;

²⁴ Put away from thee a wayward mouth, And perverse lips put far from thee.

⁵ Every word of God is tried: He is a shield unto them that 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 firstfruits of his creatures.

³⁰ I have chosen the way of faithfulness: Thine ordinances have I set `before me'.

²⁰ And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, `even' in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

¹³ Keep thy tongue from evil, And thy lips from speaking guile.

⁶ If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:

⁴ Greater joy have I none than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth.

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

²⁷ And as for you, the anointing which ye received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any one teach you; but as his anointing teacheth you; concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, ye abide in him.
