Leviticus 19:11-18 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

11. Do not steal or tell lies or cheat others.

12. Do not misuse my name by making promises you don't intend to keep. I am the Lord your God.

13. Do not steal anything or cheat anyone, and don't fail to pay your workers at the end of each day.

14. I am the Lord your God, and I command you not to make fun of the deaf or to cause a blind person to stumble.

15. Be fair, no matter who is on trial—don't favour either the poor or the rich.

16. Don't be a gossip, but never hesitate to speak up in court, especially if your testimony can save someone's life.

17. Don't hold grudges. On the other hand, it's wrong not to correct someone who needs correcting.

18. Stop being angry and don't try to take revenge. I am the Lord, and I command you to love others as much as you love yourself.
