Visions and Mandates
THIRD COMMANDMENT: Again he said to me: Love the truth and let only the truth proceed from your mouth.
2So that the spirit that God made to dwell in this flesh may be found true toward all men.
3Thus the Lord who dwells in you will be glorified; because the Lord is true in every word, and in him there is no lie.
4Therefore, those who lie reject the Lord and become robbers of the Lord, not returning to him the deposit they received.
