Ephesians Study Notes—Chapter 4

New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
- 4:15
  
  speaking the truth: The Greek verb used here is broad in meaning and might also be rendered “being truthful.” That is why some Bibles use such expressions as “living by the truth” and “practicing the truth.” Here Paul makes a stark contrast between the conduct of genuine Christians and the trickery, cunning, and deception of false teachers he denounced in verse 14. He stresses a similar thought at Eph 4:25, where he apparently quotes from Zec 8:16. Jehovah’s standard for truthfulness is consistent; he asks that his servants always uphold the truth by the way they speak and act.—Le 19:11; Pr 19:9.
