Bonaventure, on Eph 4:25

“Wherefore putting away lying, speak; ye the truth every man with his neighbour; for we are members one of another.”

“But we cannot possess these three in relation to others unless we have them first in relation to ourselves. Wherefore there are three more commandments: one that straightens all deeds, another that straightens all speech, and yet another that straightens all affective dispositions. That which straightens speech is as follows: You shall not bear false witness, which prohibits all falsity either in oneself or in relation to another. Speak truth each one with his neighbor.”
