One of the qualities that I have that I believe allows me to stand out is that I am honest with everyone. Others tell me that I am intellectually honest. When I speak to someone, I will be honest with them. I am courteous from the perspective that I will tell the truth to anyone. However, this may not always be the case with others.

In society, some people are not always honest or are dishonest in general. Sometimes people will not share the truth for various reasons. Some people might want a specific viewpoint portrayed. Some do not share the truthful facts. Other people might be afraid of repercussions that could come with telling the truth.

There are many verses in the bible that discuss dishonesty. More specifically, two bible verses from the book of Proverbs details this.

Proverbs 12:22 says, “Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who act faithfully are his delight.”

Proverbs 19:1 says, “Better is a poor person who walks in his integrity than one who is crooked in speech and is a fool.”

Both verses point out that dishonesty is not acceptable. These verses say that dishonest behavior is an abomination to the Lord and how it is better to be a poor person with integrity than to be crooked. There is no benefit in being dishonest. Dishonesty will only create more issues. There should be a sense of importance in being consistently honest. There should be no hesitance in giving the courtesy of honesty.
