Centuries ago, Quakers faced imprisonment and even death because in court they would refuse to swear to "tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help me God." Their moral dilemma was not only in swearing to God, but in swearing to tell the truth only in the courtroom. This, they thought, suggested that outside of the courtroom truth was an option, and therein was the problem. Telling the truth is not an option. Always seek to do and say what is right.

If, however, you find yourself tempted or pressured to do the wrong thing, get out quickly. That may mean quitting a job or breaking off a relationship. Some temptations are like giants. They are almost unbeatable. In such cases, we need to flee. Some persons delight in getting others to do wrong. We need to separate ourselves from those persons. Always be honest; if you can't be honest, remove yourself from the situation. God wants our very best. God wants us to be honest.
