Strong's reports the Biblical usage of the word"Truth" as what is true in any matter under consideration, truly, in truth, according to truth, of a truth, in reality, in fact, certainly, what is true in things appertaining to God and the duties of man, moral and religious truth in the greatest latitude and the true notions of God which are open to human reason without his supernatural intervention.

John 3:21 - "But the one who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds will be revealed as having been performed in God.”
