Ephesians 4:25 Why putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbor: for we are members one of another. Christians are to speak the whole truth without distortion, diminution, or exaggeration. No promise is to be falsified — no mutual understanding violated. The word of a Christian ought to be as his bond, every syllable being but the expression of "truth in the inward parts." The sacred majesty of truth is ever to characterize and hallow all his communications. (J. Eadie, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another. |
