Exodus 20:16 - The 9th Commandment - Speak Truth (do not lie)

The 9th commandment calls Israel to “not give false testimony against thy neighbor.”  That command holds true for us today, not to lie but to speak truth.  A lie can be more than just not telling the truth, it can also be misleading or intentionally deceiving.  The Bible calls us to reflect Christ and He is truth!
