‏ 1 Samuel 21:2-3

The king The whole of this is a gross falsehood; and which was attended with the most fatal consequences. It is well known that from all antiquity it was held no crime to tell a lie in order to save life. Thus Diphilon Υπολαμβανω το ψευδας επι σωτηρια λεγομενον, ουδεν περιποιεισθαι δυσχερες. "I hold it right to tell a lie for safety. Nothing should be avoided to save life." A heathen may say or sing thus, but no Christian can act thus and save his soul, though he may save his life. 1Sam 19:17, 1Sam 22:22; Gen 27:20, Gen 27:24; 1Kgs 13:18; Ps 119:29; Gal 2:12; Col 3:9
