Exodus 20:16: Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

Contradiction with James 4:11

James 4:11: Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of [his] brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
