Ephesians 4:23-25. And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; and that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbor: for we are members one of another.
You know the eye will not deceive the head. There is no part of the body that will deceive the rest. If the foot perceives that there is a trap-fall, it tells the body, and it does not lead it astray. If the nostril perceives an evil smell, it tells the body, that it may escape from the noxious effluvium. The body is true to itself. So if we are members one of another lying must be abhorrent. Every thought of it in any shape, must be detestable to us.
