8907. Verse 16 You shall not answer as a witness of a lie against your neighbour, means that good must not be called evil, nor truth falsity, and conversely that evil must not be called good, nor falsity truth.

The reason why these are acts of charity towards the neighbour is that each individual person is the neighbour. though each in a different way from others, 6818; the community whether small or large is in a greater degree the neighbour, 6819, 6820; one's country is in an even greater degree the neighbour, 6819, 6821; the Church in a still greater degree, 6819, 6822; the Lord's kingdom in a yet greater degree, 6819, 6823; and the Lord above all, 6819, 6824. In an overall sense good emanating from the Lord is the neighbour, 6706, 6711, consequently also what is just and right. Therefore a person who does any kind of good for the sake of good, and what is just for its own sake, loves the neighbour and exercises charity, for he acts from a love of good and from a love of what is just, and so from a love of those things in which goodness and justice reside. But a person who acts unjustly for the sake of any kind of gain hates the neighbour.
