Thematic Bible: Not bearing false witness


Thematic Bible




Do not owe anyone anything except to love one another. For the one who loves another has fulfilled the Law. For the commandments, "You must not commit adultery; you must not murder; you must not steal; you must not covet," and every other commandment are summed up in this statement: "You must love your neighbor as yourself."

Even some soldiers were asking him, "And what should we do?" He told them, "Never extort money from anyone by threats or blackmail, and be satisfied with your pay."




Don't testify against your neighbor without a cause, and don't lie when you speak. Don't say, "I'll do to him like he did to me, I'll be sure to pay him back for what he did."
