Matthew 5:44-47 Jesus said: But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for HE maketh HIS sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
***
15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;

Psalm 33:3-5 Sing unto HIM a new song, play skillfully with a loud noise. For the word of the Lord is right; and all HIS works are done in truth. HE loveth righteousness and judgement: the earth is full of goodness of the Lord.

Proverbs 29:12 If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked.
Comments by Pam Padgett:
When I read this Proverb today, I thought of the many lies told by Donald Trump, before and after the election. But truth didn't matter to voters who chose to ignore the lies and vote for him.
Psalm 33:4 For the word of the Lord is right; and all HIS works are done in truth.
If you think good is going to be accomplished by lies, you're wrong, for that's not what the Bible says. Lies bring destruction.
