According to The Bible, malicious lying is definitely a sin, and this is mentioned or implied in several books of the bible.

Proverbs 6:16-19 tells us that : "There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him:haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood....a false witness who pours out lies..."NIV

**Proverbs 14:5 tells us that "A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies" so if we want to be considered 'faithful' by God, we must not lie.(Leviticus 19:11)

(Ephesians 4:25) (Hebrews 13:18)

**God hates lying (Proverbs 6:16-19; Acts 5:1-11; Psalms 5:6; Colossians 3:9, 10; Revelation 21:8, 27; 22:15)(1John 4:20, 21) (Psalm 12:2-3)

**Satan is the 'Father of the Lie' " (John 8:44) and his lie brought about pain and suffering to mankind on earth to this day (Genesis 3:1-5, 16-19) (Romans 1:24-32) (James 3:14-16)

**God cannot lie (Titus 1:2) (Numbers 23:19)

Why are passages from the bible broken into chapter and verse?

The division of the books of the Bible into chapters, and the numbering of the lines into 'verses' was done to make it easy to refer to them, and to standardise the references... it would never have been possible to say "Page 53" - as each handwritten bible had different text on page 53. Much easier to say "Chapter 3, verse 14 of the Book of ...."
