Bible Commentary

Proverbs 14:25

Truth in testimony is not just a moral virtue — it has life-or-death consequences. A true witness can literally save a life by telling the truth. A false witness destroys lives. Honesty is never a small thing; it carries the weight of souls.

Memory phrase: Truth saves lives.

Talk about it: How can telling the truth save someone?

Prayer: God, let my words always be true.
