commentary on Genesis 3:7
From the formal standpoint the words of the serpent were true, but these 'true' words of the tempter expressed a tremendous lie. [...] It is possible to say something that in itself is true and by so doing to give an entirely erroneous impression. This is deceitfulness, and to do this deliberately is to sin grievously. Our speech must be filled with caution, lest even unintentionally our words give to man a false impression. Our great responsibility ***is as far as we are able to*** convey only the truth when we speak.

en la medida que podamos
No piden lo imposible, todos dicen mentiras o semi-verdades a veces, aunque sea sin querer.
Yo habría puesto unas comas para aclarar, y así se podría incluir el "to" que falta: Our great responsibility is, as far as we are able to, (to) convey only the truth when we speak.
