Charles Spurgeon Commentary
"and that ye be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the new man, that after God hath been created in righteousness and holiness of truth. Wherefore, putting away falsehood, speak ye truth each one with his neighbor: for we are members one of another." — Ephesians 4:23-25 (ASV)
And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; and that you put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbor: for we are members one of another.
You know the eye will not deceive the head. There is no part of the body that will deceive the rest. If the foot perceives that there is a trap-fall, it tells the body, and it does not lead it astray. If the nostril perceives an evil smell, it tells the body, that it may escape from the noxious vapor. The body is true to itself. So, if we are members one of another, lying must be abhorrent. Every thought of it in any shape must be detestable to us.
