⁵ A false witness shall not be unpunished. He who pours out lies shall not go free.

⁹ A false witness shall not be unpunished. He who utters lies shall perish.

⁸ This saying is faithful, and concerning these things I desire that you affirm confidently, so that those who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men;

¹³ But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written, "I believed, and therefore I spoke." We also believe, and therefore also we speak;

¹⁷ When I therefore was thus determined, did I show fickleness? Or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be the "Yes, yes" and the "No, no?"

¹⁸ But as God is faithful, our word toward you was not "Yes and no."

¹⁹ For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, by me, Silvanus, and Timothy, was not "Yes and no," but in him is "Yes."

²⁰ For however many are the promises of God, in him is the "Yes." Therefore also through him is the "Amen," to the glory of God through us.

¹⁶ If an unrighteous witness rise up against any man to testify against him of wrong-doing,

¹⁷ then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before Yahweh, before the priests and the judges who shall be in those days;

¹⁸ and the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, if the witness is a false witness, and has testified falsely against his brother;

¹⁹ then shall you do to him, as he had thought to do to his brother: so shall you put away the evil from the midst of you.

¹ "You shall not spread a false report. Don't join your hand with the wicked to be a malicious witness.
