Reading from the Epistle to the Ephesians Chapter 4.

The Apostle's exhortation to the Ephesian brethren to put away all lying, and to speak truthfully to one another, in verse 25 is a reference to the words of  Zecharian 8:16.

Ephesians 4:25 KJV

Zechariah 8:16 KJV
These are the things that ye shall do; *Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour*; execute the judgement of truth and peace in your gates:
