⁵ A false witness is not acquitted, Whoso breatheth out lies is not delivered.

⁹ A false witness is not acquitted, And whoso breatheth out lies perisheth.

⁸ Stedfast `is' the word; and concerning these things I counsel thee to affirm fully, that they may be thoughtful, to be leading in good works -- who have believed God; these are the good and profitable things to men,

¹³ And having the same spirit of the faith, according to that which hath been written, `I believed, therefore I did speak;' we also do believe, therefore also do we speak;

¹⁷ This, therefore, counselling, did I then use the lightness; or the things that I counsel, according to the flesh do I counsel, that it may be with me Yes, yes, and No, no?

²⁰ for as many as `are' promises of God, in him `are' the Yes, and in him the Amen, for glory to God through us;

¹⁹ `Then ye have done to him as he devised to do to his brother, and thou hast put away the evil thing out of thy midst,

¹ `Thou dost not lift up a vain report; thou dost not put thy hand with a wicked man to be a violent witness.
