Day 340. What is bearing false witness against your neighbor? (2025)

Today is day 340 and we are studying The Ninth Commandment.

340. What is bearing false witness against your neighbor?

It is to willfully communicate a falsehood about my neighbor, either in legal or in other matters, in order to misrepresent them. (Deuteronomy 19:16–19; Psalm 109; Proverbs 12:17; Matthew 26:57–61)

We will conclude today by praying The Qoph Stanza of Psalm 119 which is verses 145-152 found on page 438 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
