New Testament

Leviticus 18:6-19 Modern English Version (MEV)

6. None of you shall approach any of his near relatives to have relations: I am the Lord.

7. You shall not have relations with your father or have relations with your mother. She is your mother. You shall not have relations with her.

8. You shall not have relations with your father’s wife, for this exposes your father’s nakedness.

9. You shall not have relations with your sister, whether your father’s or mother’s daughter, whether raised in the family or another home.

10. You shall not have relations with your son’s daughter or your daughter’s daughter, for this exposes your own nakedness.

11. You shall not have relations with your father’s wife’s daughter who is raised in your father’s family, for she is your sister.

12. You shall not have relations with your father’s sister, for she is your father’s relative.

13. You shall not have relations with your mother’s sister, for she is your mother’s relative.

14. You shall not expose the nakedness of your father’s brother. You shall not approach his wife for relations; she is your aunt.

15. You shall not have relations with your daughter-in-law, for she is your son’s wife—you shall not have relations with her.

16. You shall not have relations with your brother’s wife, for this exposes your brother’s nakedness.

17. You shall not have relations with a woman and her daughter, nor shall you have her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter, for this exposes the woman’s nakedness. They are all near relatives. It is depravity.

18. And you shall not have a woman as a rival wife, who is the sister of your other wife, for this is to expose her nakedness while her sister, your other wife, is still alive.

19. Also you shall not approach a woman to have relations as long as she is in her menstrual uncleanness.
