Why honesty matters: trust holds everything together, sentence 11
Jesus taught, "Let your 'Yes' be 'Yes', and your 'No', 'No'" (Matthew 5:37): an honest person's plain word is enough, without "I swear" or "no cap" ("no cap" is slang for "no lie", and "cap" means a lie).
Who acts: Jesus, Plato, cap, slang, honest person · What happens: teach, let, be, mean, word · To what, where: slang, lie · Speech: someone speaks here
