8 But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”
44 You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
4 Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him,
22 Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD,
but those who act faithfully are his delight.
25 Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another.
19 God is not man, that he should lie,
or a son of man, that he should change his mind.
Has he said, and will he not do it?

9 A false witness will not go unpunished,

16 There are six things that the LORD hates,
seven that are an abomination to him:
17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue,

19 a false witness who breathes out lies,
and one who sows discord among brothers.
11 “You shall not steal; you shall not deal falsely; you shall not lie to one another.
9 Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices
13:1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. 11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. 12 For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.
13 So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
5 A false witness will not go unpunished,
and he who breathes out lies will not escape.
9 then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment,

9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
18 He said to him, “Which ones?” And Jesus said, “You shall not murder, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness,
27 But nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who does what is detestable or false, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
2 in hope of eternal life, which God, who never lies, promised before the ages began
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
9 Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices 10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator.

the LORD abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.
