Hable verdad cada uno de ustedes con su prójimo (Efe. 4:25).
¿Quiere decir lo anterior que tenemos que responder todas las preguntas que nos hagan y revelar toda la información que sepamos sobre un determinado asunto? No necesariamente. Jesús dejó claro que hay quienes no merecen recibir respuestas directas ni que se les dé cierto tipo de información. Cuando los hipócritas líderes religiosos le preguntaron con qué poder o autoridad realizaba sus milagros, él respondió: “Les haré una pregunta. Contéstenme, y yo también les diré con qué autoridad hago estas cosas”. Como ellos se negaron a darle una respuesta, él les dijo: “Tampoco les digo yo con qué autoridad hago estas cosas” (Mar. 11:27-33). En vista de las malas acciones y la falta de fe de aquellos hombres, Jesús no se sintió obligado a contestarles (Mat. 12:10-13; 23:27, 28). Hoy día, los cristianos tenemos que cuidarnos de los apóstatas y de quienes tratan de engañarnos y aprovecharse de nosotros (Mat. 10:16; Efe. 4:14).

Speak truth each one of you with his neighbor.—Eph. 4:25.
Does being truthful with others mean that we must disclose every detail to whoever asks us a question? Not necessarily. While on earth, Jesus demonstrated that some people are undeserving of a direct answer or of certain information. When hypocritical religious leaders asked him by what power or authority he performed signs and miracles, Jesus said: “I will ask you one question. You answer me, and I will also tell you by what authority I do these things.” When the scribes and older men were unwilling to give an answer, Jesus said: “Neither am I telling you by what authority I do these things.” (Mark 11:27-33) He did not feel obligated to answer the question in view of their corrupt practices and faithless example. (Matt. 12:10-13; 23:27, 28) Similarly today, Jehovah’s people need to be on guard against apostates and other wicked men who use trickery or cunning for selfish purposes.—Matt. 10:16; Eph. 4:14.
Examining the Bible Scriptures Daily, Such instructions gave Jesus ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ so that he would ‘know how to answer the tired one with a word.’ (Isa. 30:20; 50:4; Matt. 11:28-30) Being awakened to timely counsel from the Word of God each morning will not only help you to cope with your own problems but also equip you with ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ to help others.”
