Old Testament

New Testament

Exodus 23:3-9 Modern English Version (MEV)

3. You must not show partiality to a poor man in his dispute.

4. If you meet your enemy’s ox or his donkey going astray, you shall surely return it to him.

5. If you see the donkey of someone who hates you lying under its burden, you must not ignore it; you must surely help with him.

6. You shall not turn justice away from your poor in his dispute.

7. Keep far away from a false charge, and do not kill the innocent and the righteous, for I will not justify the wicked.

8. You shall not take a bribe, for a bribe blinds those who see and subverts the words of the righteous.

9. Also you shall not oppress a foreigner, for you know the life of a foreigner, seeing you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.
