Versículo sobre mentira: o que a Bíblia diz sobre o engano
O que a Bíblia diz sobre a mentira
Na Escritura, a mentira é tratada como uma quebra direta da comunhão com Deus, cuja própria natureza é a verdade. O engano corrompe o caráter de quem fala, destrói a convivência humana e contradiz a integridade que Deus requer do seu povo.
Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight.(Proverbs 12:22)
These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.(Proverbs 6:16-19)
Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.(Psalms 5:6)
A verdade como marca de quem segue a Deus
Jesus apontou a raiz espiritual da mentira ao chamá-la de linguagem própria do diabo. Por isso, a caminhada cristã exige o abandono intencional de qualquer falsidade, substituindo o disfarce pela sinceridade com o próximo.
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.(John 8:44)
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.(John 14:6)
Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.(Ephesians 4:25)
Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;(Colossians 3:9)
As consequências do engano e o valor da integridade
A mentira pode parecer um atalho ou proteção momentânea, mas o texto bíblico adverte que ela não se sustenta com o tempo. A palavra verdadeira resiste e constrói, enquanto a fraude arruína relacionamentos, destrói reputações e atrai o juízo divino.
The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment.(Proverbs 12:19)
A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.(Proverbs 19:9)
The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.(Proverbs 21:6)
A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.(Proverbs 26:28)
Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.(Leviticus 19:11)
He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.(Psalms 101:7)
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.(Revelation 21:8)
