AC 8907, 8908 - a lie

AC 8907
Thou shalt not
answer against thy neighbor the witness of a lie,
(Exodus 20:13)
signifies that good is not to be called evil,
nor truth falsity;
thus conversely,
neither is evil to be called good,
nor falsity truth.

AC 8908 [2]
Those with whom there reigns the love of self
or the love of the world, that is,
who have as their end eminence,
or honors, or wealth, or gain,
do not hesitate to say and persuade others
that what is just is unjust,
and that what is unjust is just,
and thus to act the part of witnesses of a lie.
The reason why they are of such a character
is that their will is wholly subject to these loves
and their cupidities,
and is wholly occupied and possessed by them;
and then the understanding,
which is the other part of the mind,
is indeed able to see what is just and what is unjust;
but is not willing to see,
because the will prevails over the understanding,
and by means of influx persuades it,
and at last also blinds it.
These same persons neither have conscience,
nor do they know
that it belongs to conscience to call
that just which is just,
for no other reason than because it is just,
that is, from the love of what is just.
