Therefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbor: for we are members one of another.
All Commentaries on Ephesians 4:25 Go To Ephesians 4
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
It is written, “The mouth that lies destroys the soul.” … Therefore the apostle puts truth telling in the first place when he commands us to put off the “old nature,” under which name all sins are understood, saying “therefore, putting off lying speak the truth.”
