Honesty

Jesus called Satan a liar and the "father of lies". (John 8:44).

Gustave Doré's depiction of Satan from John Milton's Paradise Lost.

Honesty is the quality or condition of being honest. To be honest is to be honorable, straightforward and truthful in principles, intentions, and actions. Honest people don't lie. Honesty is the opposite of deceit. Honesty is generally thought to be more than merely avoiding telling any direct lies.
