“He who speaks truth declares righteousness, But a false witness, deceit.” PROVERBS 12:17
Honesty comes from the partnership of truth and wisdom
Honesty is a practical expression of truth and an outward operation of the fear of the Lord. It is also a hallmark of wisdom (Prov 1:3), for the wise know that while honesty may not always pay, dishonesty will always cost. The new creature in Christ must put off the practice of lying (Col 3:9) because every false word will be judged in the day of judgment (Matt 12:36-37). Cling onto the promise of Proverbs 12:22, knowing that your honesty pleases God. (Prov 11:1)

「說出真話的,顯明公義;作假見證的,顯出詭詐。」
-(箴言十二章17節)
誠實的人與真理和智慧為伍
誠實是真理的實際表達,是敬畏主的外在表現,亦是智慧的標誌(參考箴言一章3節),因為智者知道:誠實雖不總是使人獲益,但不誠實總是使人付出沉重的代價。在基督裡新造的人必須戒除說謊的習慣(參考歌羅西書三章9節),因為在審判的日子,人所說的每一句假話都會供出來(參考馬太福音十二章36-37節)。緊緊抓住箴言十二章22節的應許吧!當知道誠實是討神喜悅的(參考箴言十一章1節)。
