## Lords Day 43
### 112. Q. What is Gods will for you in the ninth commandment?
**A**. That I never give false testimony against anyone, twist no ones words, not gossip or slander, nor join in condemning anyone rashly or without a hearing.<sup>1</sup> Rather, I should avoid, under penalty of Gods wrath,<sup>2</sup> every kind of lying and deceit as the very works of the devil; and, in court and everywhere else, I should love the truth, speak it candidly, and openly acknowledge it.<sup>3</sup> And I should do what I can to defend and advance my neighbors honor and reputation.<sup>4</sup>
