Chapter 32. The Eighth Commandment: Tell the Truth

You Shall Not Bear False Witness Against Your Neighbour

 (CCC, nos 2401–2463)

God is the source of all truth. Christ Jesus not only taught truth, he spoke of himself, saying, ‘I am Truth’ (Jn 14:6). The Eighth Commandment urges the telling of truth and the avoidance of lies in all its forms.
