Buy the truth and do not sell it; get wisdom, discipline and understanding. Proverbs 23:23
Truth here means Jesus Christ. We read in John 14:6, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Salvation is the ultimate gift God has made available for all those who believe in His Son Jesus Christ! It is God's master plan to reunite with man since his fall at Eden. Yet, many don't want anything to do with it. That's because they are deceived by the father of all lies to believe in lies instead of the Truth.
In Matthew 13:44 we read, "The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field."
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary explains it further in very simple words:
So, those of us who have found the Truth, let us not sell it for anything or anybody; and those who have not, please buy it at all cost. Whatever you loss in order to gain Him, you will receive it in many folds.
"Whoever acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge him before my Father in heaven. 33But whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven." Matthew 10:32-33

Buy the truth, and sell it not; be willing to part with any thing for it. Do not part with it for pleasures, honours, riches, or any thing in this world.Jesus Himself said these verses as Apostle John notes, "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." John 8:32
So, those of us who have found the Truth, let us not sell it for anything or anybody; and those who have not, please buy it at all cost. Whatever you loss in order to gain Him, you will receive it in many folds.
