New Testament

Leviticus 19:23-35 Amplified Bible (AMP)

23. And when you come into the land and have planted all kinds of trees for food, then you shall count the fruit of them as inedible and forbidden to you for three years; it shall not be eaten.

24. In the fourth year all their fruit shall be holy for giving praise to the Lord.

25. But in the fifth year you may eat of the fruit [of the trees], that their produce may enrich you; I am the Lord your God.

26. You shall not eat anything with the blood; neither shall you use magic, omens, or witchcraft [or predict events by horoscope or signs and lucky days].

27. You shall not round the corners of the hair of your heads nor trim the corners of your beard [as some idolaters do].

28. You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead nor print or tattoo any marks upon you; I am the Lord.

29. Do not profane your daughter by causing her to be a harlot, lest the land fall into harlotry and become full of wickedness.

30. You shall keep My Sabbaths and reverence My sanctuary. I am the Lord.

31. Turn not to those [mediums] who have familiar spirits or to wizards; do not seek them out to be defiled by them. I am the Lord your God.

32. You shall rise up before the hoary head and honor the face of the old man and [reverently] fear your God. I am the Lord.

33. And if a stranger dwells temporarily with you in your land, you shall not suppress and mistreat him.

34. But the stranger who dwells with you shall be to you as one born among you; and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.

35. You shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in measures of length or weight or quantity.
