Mentira
A mentira é condenada pela Bíblia como pecado grave. Deus é verdade, e quem mente se alinha com o pai da mentira. O cristão é chamado a falar a verdade em amor.
Deus odeia a mentira
Os lábios mentirosos são abominação para o Senhor. A Bíblia adverte que todo mentiroso terá parte no lago de fogo.
The Lord hates every liar,
but he is the friend of all
who can be trusted.
But I will tell you what will happen to cowards and to everyone who is unfaithful or dirty-minded or who murders or is sexually immoral or uses witchcraft or worships idols or tells lies. They will be thrown into that lake of fire and burning sulfur. This is the second death.
There are six or seven
kinds of people
the Lord doesn’t like:
Those who are too proud
or tell lies or murder,
those who make evil plans
or are quick to do wrong,
those who tell lies in court
or stir up trouble
in a family.
And stop lying to each other. You have given up your old way of life with its habits.
Falar a verdade
Despojai-vos da mentira e falai a verdade cada um com o próximo. Cristo é a verdade, e nos chama a ser testemunhas fiéis.
We are part of the same body. Stop lying and start telling each other the truth.
"I am the way, the truth, and the life!" Jesus answered. "Without me, no one can go to the Father.
Your father is the devil, and you do exactly what he wants. He has always been a murderer and a liar. There is nothing truthful about him. He speaks on his own, and everything he says is a lie. Not only is he a liar himself, but he is also the father of all lies.
Dishonest witnesses and liars
will be destroyed.
No one who cheats or lies
will have a position
in my royal court.
Consequências da falsidade
A mentira destrói confiança e relacionamentos. As Escrituras alertam sobre os frutos amargos do engano e da falsidade.
Cheating to get rich
is a foolish dream
and no less than suicide.
Truth will last forever;
lies are soon found out.
Watch out for anyone
who tells lies and flatters—
they are out to get you.
You destroy every liar,
and you despise violence
and deceit.
Do not steal or tell lies or cheat others.
