The serpent said to the woman, “You won’t really die,

These are the things that you shall do: speak every man the truth with his neighbor. Execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates,

For they are a nation void of counsel. There is no understanding in them.

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you, that you may be no priest to me. Because you have forgotten your God’s law, I will also forget your children.

Their deeds won’t allow them to turn to their God; for the spirit of prostitution is within them, and they don’t know Yahweh.

You have not known him, but I know him. If I said, ‘I don’t know him,’ I would be like you, a liar. But I know him and keep his word.

They will do these things because they have not known the Father, nor me.

but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him who is the head, Christ,

that you put away, as concerning your former way of life, the old man that grows corrupt after the lusts of deceit,

Therefore don’t be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

Everyone lies to his neighbor. They speak with flattering lips, and with a double heart.

Don’t draw me away with the wicked, with the workers of iniquity who speak peace with their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts.

Lying lips are an abomination to Yahweh, but those who do the truth are his delight.

Haven’t you known? Haven’t you heard? The everlasting God, Yahweh, the Creator of the ends of the earth, doesn’t faint. He isn’t weary. His understanding is unsearchable.

Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good.

For these things’ sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.

he is conceited, knowing nothing, but obsessed with arguments, disputes, and word battles, from which come envy, strife, insulting, evil suspicions,

in hope of eternal life, which God, who can’t lie, promised before time began;

He plots iniquity on his bed. He sets himself in a way that is not good. He doesn’t abhor evil.

Therefore putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor. For we are members of one another.
