Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.

Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from telling lies.

If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth.

He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created.

You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.

There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known.

But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.

The one whose walk is blameless, who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from their heart; whose tongue utters no slander, who does no wrong to a neighbor, and casts no slur on others.

The Lord detests lying lips, but he delights in people who are trustworthy.

But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.

As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit—just as it has taught you, remain in him.

I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.

The lips of the righteous know what finds favor, but the mouth of the wicked only what is perverse.

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.

For the word of the Lord is right and true; he is faithful in all he does.

For the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth.

I have chosen the way of faithfulness; I have set my heart on your laws.

Above all, my brothers and sisters, do not swear—not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. All you need to say is a simple “Yes” or “No.” Otherwise you will be condemned.

We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true by being in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

Keep your mouth free of perversity; keep corrupt talk far from your lips.

Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

You may say to yourselves, “How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the Lord?” If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the Lord does not take place or come true, that is a message the Lord has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously, so do not be alarmed.

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

An honest witness does not deceive, but a false witness pours out lies.

When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father—he will testify about me.

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.

Teach me your way, Lord, that I may rely on your faithfulness; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name.

God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
