Why cheating hurts the cheat, sentence 17

With a friend who cheats in a small test, talk to them first (Matthew 18:15); it's your judgement whether to tell, but don't lie for them if asked.

Who acts: friend, you, test · What happens: cheat, talk, be, tell, not lie, ask · To what, where: small test, universities, judgement · Speech: someone speaks here
