Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices
Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another.
to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires,
“You shall not steal; you shall not deal falsely; you shall not lie to one another.
You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
