Bible References

Let

So when I planned this, was I irresponsible? Or what I plan, do I plan in a purely human

way so that I say “Yes, yes” and “No, no” simultaneously?

Your speech should always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you should answer each person.

Now above all, my brothers, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath. Your “yes” must be “yes,” and your “no” must be “no,” so that you won’t fall under judgment.

Cometh

When anyone hears the word about the kingdom and doesn’t understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is the one sown along the path.

For from the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual immoralities, thefts, false testimonies, blasphemies.

You are of your father the Devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning and has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he speaks from his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of liars.

Since you put away lying, Speak the truth, each one to his neighbor,

because we are members of one another.

Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old self

with its practices
