Ephesians 4:25
Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.

μὴ ψεύδεσθε εἰς ἀλλήλους ἀπεκδυσάμενοι τὸν παλαιὸν ἄνθρωπον σὺν ταῖς πράξεσιν αὐτοῦ
Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
אֵלֶּה הַדְּבָרִים אֲשֶׁר תַּֽעֲשׂוּ דַּבְּרוּ אֱמֶת אִישׁ אֶת-רֵעֵהוּ אֱמֶת וּמִשְׁפַּט שָׁלוֹם שִׁפְטוּ בְּשַׁעֲרֵיכֶֽם׃
These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates:
תּוֹעֲבַת יְהוָה שִׂפְתֵי-שָׁקֶר וְעֹשֵׂי אֱמוּנָה רְצוֹנֽוֹ׃
Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight.
οὕτως οἱ πολλοὶ ἓν σῶμά ἐσμεν ἐν Χριστῷ ὁ δὲ καθ' εἷς ἀλλήλων μέλη
So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
ἀληθεύοντες δὲ ἐν ἀγάπῃ αὐξήσωμεν εἰς αὐτὸν τὰ πάντα ὅς ἐστιν ἡ κεφαλή ὁ Χριστός
But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
יָפִיחַ אֱמוּנָה יַגִּיד צֶדֶק וְעֵד שְׁקָרִים מִרְמָֽה׃
He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.
כִּֽי-אֱמֶת יֶהְגֶּה חִכִּי וְתוֹעֲבַת שְׂפָתַי רֶֽשַׁע׃
For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
δειλοῖς δὲ καὶ ἀπίστοις καὶ ἐβδελυγμένοις καὶ φονεῦσιν καὶ πόρνοις καὶ φαρμακεῦσιν καὶ εἰδωλολάτραις καὶ πᾶσιν τοῖς ψευδέσιν τὸ μέρος αὐτῶν ἐν τῇ λίμνῃ τῇ καιομένῃ πυρὶ καὶ θείῳ ὅ ἐστιν δεύτερος θάνατος
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
שְֽׂפַת-אֱמֶת תִּכּוֹן לָעַד וְעַד-אַרְגִּיעָה לְשׁוֹן שָֽׁקֶר׃
The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
וַֽיַּדְרְכוּ אֶת-לְשׁוֹנָם קַשְׁתָּם שֶׁקֶר וְלֹא לֶאֱמוּנָה גָּבְרוּ בָאָרֶץ כִּי מֵרָעָה אֶל-רָעָה׀ יָצָאוּ וְאֹתִי לֹֽא-יָדָעוּ נְאֻם-יְהוָֽה׃
And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the LORD.
ἐπ' ἐλπίδι ζωῆς αἰωνίου ἣν ἐπηγγείλατο ὁ ἀψευδὴς θεὸς πρὸ χρόνων αἰωνίων
In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;
ἐν ὑποκρίσει ψευδολόγων κεκαυτηριασμένων τὴν ἰδίαν συνείδησιν
Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having with a hot iron; their conscience seared
לֹא תִּגְנֹבוּ וְלֹֽא-תְכַחֲשׁוּ וְלֹֽא-תְשַׁקְּרוּ אִישׁ בַּֽעֲמִיתֽוֹ׃
Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.
עֵינַיִם רָמוֹת לְשׁוֹן שָׁקֶר וְיָדַיִם שֹׁפְכוֹת דָּם-נָקִֽי׃
A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
אָהַבְתָּ רָּע מִטּוֹב שֶׁקֶר׀ מִדַּבֵּר צֶדֶק סֶֽלָה׃
Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah.
כִּי כַפֵּיכֶם נְגֹאֲלוּ בַדָּם וְאֶצְבְּעוֹתֵיכֶם בֶּֽעָוֹן שִׂפְתֽוֹתֵיכֶם דִּבְּרוּ-שֶׁקֶר לְשׁוֹנְכֶם עַוְלָה תֶהְגֶּֽה׃
For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness.
ἔξω δὲ οἱ κύνες καὶ οἱ φάρμακοι καὶ οἱ πόρνοι καὶ οἱ φονεῖς καὶ οἱ εἰδωλολάτραι καὶ πᾶς ὁ φιλῶν καὶ ποιῶν ψεῦδος
For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
εἶπεν δὲ Πέτρος Ἁνανία διατί ἐπλήρωσεν ὁ Σατανᾶς τὴν καρδίαν σου ψεύσασθαί σε τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον καὶ νοσφίσασθαι ἀπὸ τῆς τιμῆς τοῦ χωρίου
But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
Καθάπερ γὰρ τὸ σῶμα ἕν ἐστιν καὶ μέλη ἔχει πολλὰ πάντα δὲ τὰ μέλη τοῦ σώματος τοῦ ἑνός πολλὰ ὄντα ἕν ἐστιν σῶμα οὕτως καὶ ὁ Χριστός·
For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
ὅτι εἴ τι αὐτῷ ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν κεκαύχημαι οὐ κατῃσχύνθην ἀλλ' ὡς πάντα ἐν ἀληθείᾳ ἐλαλήσαμεν ὑμῖν οὕτως καὶ ἡ καύχησις ἡμῶν ἡ ἐπὶ Τίτου ἀλήθεια ἐγενήθη
For if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I am not ashamed; but as we spake all things to you in truth, even so our boasting, which I made before Titus, is found a truth.
