He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.
Speaking truth is an expression of righteousness, so that what is uttered reveals the moral character within. A truthful person speaks in a way that is reliable and exact, without distortion or misrepresentation. Truthful words and representations therefore show forth righteousness itself, making integrity visible in speech. To speak truth is to manifest righteousness outwardly in what is said and portrayed.
