Day 342. How is false witness given in public life? (2024)

Today is day 342 and we are studying The Ninth Commandment. 342. How is false witness given in public life? Any willful misrepresentation of the truth in legal, civic, or business affairs bears false witness, rebels against God’s will, and subverts God’s justice. (Exodus 23:1–3; Leviticus 6:1–7; Proverbs 11:1; 24:23–26, 28–29; Acts 6:8–15) We will conclude today by praying The Collect for the Renewal of Life in Morning Prayer found on page 22 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
