New Testament

Deuteronomy 23:18-25 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

18. You shall not offer money from a prostitute, nor the price of a dog, in the house of the Lord your God, no matter what you may have vowed. For both of these are an abomination with the Lord your God.

19. You shall not lend money, or grain, or anything else at all, to your brother at interest,

20. but only to a foreigner. For you shall lend to your brother whatever he needs without interest, so that the Lord your God may bless you in all your works in the land, which you shall enter so as to possess it.

21. When you have made a vow to the Lord your God, you shall not be late in paying it. For the Lord your God demands it. And if you delay, it shall be imputed to you as a sin.

22. If you are not willing to make a promise, then it shall be without sin.

23. But as soon as it has departed from your lips, you shall observe and do just as you have promised to the Lord your God and just as you have spoken by your own free will and with your own mouth.

24. Upon entering your neighbor's vineyard, you may eat as many grapes as you please. But you may not carry any out with you.

25. If you enter into your friend's grain field, you may break off the ears, and rub them in your hand, but you may not reap them with a sickle."
