13 Bible Verses about Speaking Truth

But speaking the truth in love, let us grow in every way into Him who is the head—Christ.

These are the things you must do: Speak truth to one another; make true and sound decisions within your gates.

Since you put away lying, Speak the truth, each one to his neighbor, because we are members of one another.

Whoever speaks the truth declares what is right,
but a false witness, deceit.

The one who lives honestly, practices righteousness,
and acknowledges the truth in his heart—

For my mouth tells the truth,
and wickedness is detestable to my lips.

For we are not like the many who market God’s message for profit. On the contrary, we speak with sincerity in Christ, as from God and before God.

Instead, we have renounced shameful secret things, not walking in deceit or distorting God’s message, but commending ourselves to every person’s conscience in God’s sight by an open display of the truth.

Many came to Him and said, “John never did a sign, but everything John said about this man was true.”

Then the One seated on the throne said, “Look! I am making everything new.” He also said, “Write, because these words are faithful and true.”

Then he said to me, “These words are faithful and true. And the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent His angel to show His slaves what must quickly take place.”

Have I now become your enemy by telling you the truth?

My words come from my upright heart,
and my lips speak with sincerity what they know.
