Psalms 15:2
He who walks with integrity and practices righteousness, who speaks the truth from his heart,
BSB
ASV
He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, And speaketh truth in his heart;
KJV
He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.
In everything, therefore, good faith is seemly, justice is pleasing, due measure in equity is delightful. But what shall I say about contracts, and especially about the sale of land, or agreements or covenants? Are there not rules just for the purpose of shutting out all false deceit and to make him whose deceit is found out liable to double punishment? Everywhere, then, does regard for what is virtuous take the lead; it shuts out deceit, it expels fraud. Wherefore the prophet David has rightly stated his judgment in general, saying, "He has done no evil to his neighbor."
The answer. The Lord in answer to the question informs us by his Holy Spirit of the character of the man who alone can dwell in his holy hill. In perfection this holiness is found only in the Man of Sorrows, but in a measure it is wrought in all his people by the Holy Ghost. Faith and the graces of the Spirit are not mentioned, because this is a description of outward character, and where fruits are found the root may not be seen, but it is surely there. Observe the accepted man's walk, work, and word.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
The walk8
Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.

Ephesians 4:25Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor, for we are all members of one another.
leads to
Do not lie to one another, since you have taken off the old self with its practices,
These are the things you must do: Speak truth to one another, render true and sound judgments in your gates,
Lying lips are detestable to the LORD, but those who deal faithfully are His delight.
so in Christ we who are many are one body, and each member belongs to one another.
Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into Christ Himself, who is the head.

to put off your former way of life, your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires;
Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor, for we are all members of one another.
You must not steal. You must not lie or deceive one another.
