What is the word for truth and its meaning in Koine Greek?

a couple of points:

Nuda Veritas is the derivation of the term “Naked Truth”.

The Greek word for thief/robber/pirate is ληστής/listis which is derived from λανθάνω as well

What does it mean when someone tells you they love you and want you in their life, but doesn't want to commit?

The word you are looking for is:

the word is composed of the privative prefix α- and λήθη/lethe which means “forgetfulness/stupor”. So the αλήθεια means “without fault/stupor/hiding”

The root verb is λανθάνω/lanthano=to escape notice/to make one forget/to lay hidden

Does any unofficial Roman Catholic card exist in the world to play? In Italy, Rome & the Vatican City, can practising Catholics get any discounts as a tourist, & / or privileged admission to certain sights, with different rules for non Catholics?

A similarly derived word is ληθαργία/lethargia=toiling under forgetfulness/stupor….lethargy.

The word has remained the same into Modern Greek

There is absolutely no relation to λίθος/lithos=stone. Notice the η vs ι.

What is your opinion on the band Nickelback? Why do they receive criticism from some people?

αλὴθεια / Alithea.

as a result Alitheia, the Goddess of Truth, was always depicted as a naked, unassuming and plain looking woman. The Latin equivalent was nuda Veritas. Truth has nothing to hide and didn’t need all the adornments of the other gods.
