Kinds of Lies
Colossians 3:9-11
Lie not one to another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his deeds;…


There are lies pernicious, officious, and jocose. The first is employed for the sake of injury; the second for that of assistance; the third for diversion. But the Scripture denies any one of these to be lawful (Revelation 21:8; Revelation 22:15; Proverbs 12:22; Ephesians 4:25).

(Bishop Davenant.)
