Bible Verses about Lying
- For, “Whoever would love life
and see good days
must keep their tongue from evil
and their lips from deceitful speech.
They must turn from evil and do good;
they must seek peace and pursue it.” - The Lord detests lying lips,
but he delights in people who are trustworthy. - Save me, Lord,
from lying lips
and from deceitful tongues. - 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. - He went on: “What comes out of a person is what defiles them. For it is from within, out of a person’s heart, that evil thoughts come—sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. All these evils come from inside and defile a person.”
- Keep your tongue from evil
and your lips from telling lies. - Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.
- Whoever conceals hatred with lying lips
and spreads slander is a fool. - If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth.

but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out. - A perverse person stirs up conflict,
and a gossip separates close friends. - ‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, honor your father and mother,’ and ‘love your neighbor as yourself.’
- An honest witness does not deceive,
but a false witness pours out lies. - You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires.

- Keep falsehood and lies far from me;
give me neither poverty nor riches,
but give me only my daily bread. - Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.

but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit. - To fear the Lord is to hate evil;
I hate pride and arrogance,
evil behavior and perverse speech. - Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land? Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God.”
- Eloquent lips are unsuited to a godless fool—
how much worse lying lips to a ruler! - A gossip betrays a confidence,
but a trustworthy person keeps a secret. - Keep your mouth free of perversity;
keep corrupt talk far from your lips. - The lips of the righteous know what finds favor,
but the mouth of the wicked only what is perverse. - God is not human, that he should lie,
not a human being, that he should change his mind.
Does he speak and then not act?
Does he promise and not fulfill?
