New Testament

Leviticus 25:35-40 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

35. If your brother has become impoverished, or infirm of hand, and you take him in, like a newcomer or a sojourner, and he lives with you,

36. do not accept usury from him, nor anything more than what you gave. Fear your God, so that your brother may be able to live with you.

37. You shall not give him your money by usury, nor exact from him an overabundance of produce.

38. I am the Lord your God, who led you away from the land of Egypt, so that I might give to you the land of Canaan, and so that I may be your God.

39. If your brother, having been compelled by poverty, will have sold himself to you, you shall not oppress him with the servitude of indentured servants.

40. But he shall be like a hired hand or a settler; he shall work with you, until the year of the Jubilee.
