New Testament

Leviticus 19:6-19 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

6. you shall eat it on the same day as when it was immolated, and the next day. Then whatever will remain on the third day you shall burn with fire.

7. If anyone, after two days, will have eaten from it, he shall be profane and guilty of impiety.

8. And he shall bear his iniquity, for he has polluted what is holy to the Lord. And that soul shall perish from his people.

9. When you will have harvested the grain fields of your land, you shall not cut it down to the surface of the land, even to the ground, nor shall you gather the remaining ears of grain.

10. Neither shall you gather the clusters or individual grapes which fall down in your vineyard, but you shall leave them for paupers and travelers to take. I am the Lord your God.

11. You shall not steal. You shall not lie. Neither shall anyone deceive his neighbor.

12. You shall not commit perjury in my name, nor shall you pollute the name of your God. I am the Lord.

13. You shall not slander your neighbor, nor shall you oppress him by violence. The wages of a hired hand, you shall not delay with you until tomorrow.

14. You shall not speak evil of the deaf, nor shall you place a stumbling block before the blind, but you shall fear the Lord your God, for I am the Lord.

15. You shall not do what is unjust, nor shall you judge unjustly. You shall not consider the reputation of the poor, nor shall you honor the countenance of the powerful. Judge your neighbor justly.

16. You shall not be a detractor, nor a whisperer, among the people. You shall not stand against the blood of your neighbor. I am the Lord.

17. You shall not hate your brother in your heart, but reprove him openly, lest you have sin over him.

18. Do not seek revenge, neither should you be mindful of the injury of your fellow citizens. You shall love your friend as yourself. I am the Lord.

19. Observe my laws. You shall not cause your cattle to breed with other kinds of animals. You shall not sow your field with diverse seeds. You shall not be clothed with a garment which has been woven from two things.
