New Testament

Leviticus 19:1-13 American Standard Version (ASV)

1. And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

2. Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy; for I Jehovah your God am holy.

3. Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father; and ye shall keep my sabbaths: I am Jehovah your God.

4. Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am Jehovah your God.

5. And when ye offer a sacrifice of peace-offerings unto Jehovah, ye shall offer it that ye may be accepted.

6. It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow: and if aught remain until the third day, it shall be burnt with fire.

7. And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is an abomination; it shall not be accepted:

8. but every one that eateth it shall bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned the holy thing of Jehovah: and that soul shall be cut off from his people.

9. And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleaning of thy harvest.

10. And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather the fallen fruit of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and for the sojourner: I am Jehovah your God.

11. Ye shall not steal; neither shall ye deal falsely, nor lie one to another.

12. And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, and profane the name of thy God: I am Jehovah.

13. Thou shalt not oppress thy neighbor, nor rob him: the wages of a hired servant shall not abide with thee all night until the morning.
