It's relative, as far as I can see. I have seen it used both ways and done the same.

1. "To not tell the truth is a sin."

2. I would have preferred to lie, but not to tell the truth would have been the end.

You may kick me if I am incorrect.

EDIT: Anyways, I was incorrect. Edited, and I think it's still right.
