"but if he has a reputation for straightforward honesty, he will gain the confidence of others. The love of truth, the dependence and confidence which men can place in him, will remove or overbear objectionable features in his character. Trustworthiness in your place and calling, a willingness to deny self for the purpose of benefiting others, will bring peace of mind and the favor of God. 4T 353.3"
"Lying lips are abomination to the Lord: but they that deal truly are his delight."
EGW's emphasis on honesty, trustworthiness, and the benefits they bring aligns with the sentiment expressed in Proverbs 12:22, which contrasts lying lips with those who deal truthfully.
