25 A truthful witness saves lives, but one who breathes out lies is deceitful.
Consider the enormity of such a simple verse. In some ways it is just a restating of an earlier verse on the straight forward distinction between truth and lies, but there is something more here. Truthfulness is important. It saves lives and we, as the witness, are it's vessel. We can save the wrongly accused in a criminal court, but there is also a higher level described more clearly in the King James:
25 A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful witness speaketh lies.
Speaking the truth of the gospel saves souls.
