Witness » Not bearing false witness
He said to Jesus, “Which commandments?” And Jesus answered, “You shall not commit murder; You shall not commit adultery; You shall not steal; You shall not give false testimony;
Keep out of debt and owe no man anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor [who practices loving others] has fulfilled the Law [relating to one's fellowmen, meeting all its requirements]. The commandments, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not covet (have an evil desire), and any other commandment, are summed up in the single command, You shall love your neighbor as [you do] yourself.
Some soldiers asked him, “And what about us, what are we to do?” And he replied to them, “Do not extort money from anyone or harass or blackmail anyone, and be satisfied with your wages.”
“You shall not testify falsely [that is, lie, withhold, or manipulate the truth] against your neighbor (any person).
“You shall not give a false report; you shall not join hands with the wicked to be a malicious witness [promoting wrong and violence].
‘You shall not give false testimony [that is, lie, withhold, or manipulate the truth] against your neighbor (any person).
Be not a witness against your neighbor without cause, and deceive not with your lips. Say not, I will do to him as he has done to me; I will pay the man back for his deed.
