[Paul Vusik]

Deuteronomy 5:20
KJV
“20*Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbour.”

RV text:
“20 Neither shall you testify as a vain witness against your neighbor;”

Here are the definitions of vain:
-having or showing undue or excessive pride in one's appearance or achievements.
-marked by futility or ineffectualness.
-having no real value.

And here is definition of false:
-not genuine
-intentionally untrue
-adjusted or made so as to deceive
-intended or tending to mislead

Well, no other Bible that’s out there dismissed this concept of “bearing a false witness” as did RV. (Even some of the worst versions). Is removing false witness as it should be translated based on all other translations makes any difference? What is vain witness anyway? Is it that when you confront the false teachings and you told, “you not in your spirit”, all that is vanity? I’m interested to see how vain is the same as false in any language. I guess when you have no value in telling the truth, you also have no problem in promotion of false.
