What does the Bible say about speaking truth?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible commands believers to speak truth, as it's essential for edification within the body of Christ (Ephesians 4:25).

According to Ephesians 4:25, the Bible commands believers to 'put away lying' and 'speak every man truth with his neighbor.' This directive highlights the foundational role of truth in the lives of believers, especially within the church. The reason provided for this command is that we are members of one another within the body of Christ. Truth is the very lifeblood that unites and edifies the church, as every member is interconnected and affects the whole body. Thus, speaking truth is not merely a moral obligation; it is a necessary component for spiritual health and unity among believers.
