Do not lie for nothing good will come of it

Do not commit the same sin twice; once is enough to bring punishment upon you.

Do not say, “When I sacrifice to God, the Most High will take into account the number of gifts and he will accept them.”

Pray with a strong spirit and do not neglect to give alms.

Do not despise a man when he is downcast, for there is one who casts down and who raises up.

Do not lie about your brother; likewise, do not lie about your friend.

Do not allow yourself any kind of lie for nothing good will come of it.

Sirach 7:8-13
