ISB ~ Ephesians 4 v25

putting away falsehood:Words should be spoken to help others and build them up, not to harm them or beat them down. Speech that is careless, slanderous, vulgar, or untruthful threatens the unity of the Church (4:29; Mt 12:3637; Jas 3:1-12). The Lord despises a lying tongue (Prov 6:1617) (CCC 2475-86).

speak the truth:An excerpt from Zech 8:16.

• The prophet is urging his people to reform their lives, beginning with a renewed effort to use truthful and reliable speech.
