'Truthful' in the Bible
“Shall God’s retribution [for your sins] be on your terms, because you refuse to accept it?For you must do the choosing, and not I;Therefore say what you [truthfully] know.
For there is nothing trustworthy or reliable or truthful in what they say;Their heart is destruction [just a treacherous chasm, a yawning gulf of lies].Their throat is an open grave;They [glibly] flatter with their [silken] tongue.
Truthful lips will be established forever,But a lying tongue is [credited] only for a moment.
A truthful witness saves lives,But he who speaks lies is treacherous.
As it is written and forever remains written,“There is none righteous [none that meets God’s standard], not even one.
amid glory and dishonor; by evil report and good report; branded as deceivers and yet [vindicated as] truthful;
based on the hope and divine guarantee of eternal life, [the life] which God, who is ever truthful and without deceit, promised before the ages of time began,
