As you know, we never praised you if we didn’t mean it. We didn’t put on a mask to cover up any sinful desire. God is our witness that this is true.

Everyone tells lies to their neighbors. With their lips they praise others, but they don’t really mean it.May the Lord close all lips that don’t mean what they say. May he stop every tongue that brags.
