Sins of the Tongue

Well, there is no time like the present. Here is the first round of disciplinary scriptures. (see "Eureka!" post).

Lying

Colossians 3:9-10 "Do not lie to one another, since you laid aside the old self with its evil practices, and have put on the new self who is being renewed to a true knowledge according to the image of the one who created Him..."

II Corinthians 7:1 "Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God."

Proverbs 6:16-19 "There are six things which the Lord hates, yes, seven which are an abomination to Him; haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that run rapidly to evil, a false witness who utters lies, and one who spreads strife among brothers."

Proverbs 14:25 "A truthful witness saves lives, but he who speaks lies is treacherous."

Psalm 24:3-4 "Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord? And who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood, and has not sworn deceitfully."

Proverbs 12:22 "Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who deal faithfully are His delight."
