New Testament

Leviticus 19:8-19 Modern English Version (MEV)

8. Therefore everyone who eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has defiled what is holy of the Lord, and that person shall be cut off from among his people.

9. When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap up to the edge of your field, nor shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest.

10. You shall not glean bare your vineyard, nor shall you gather every fallen grape of your vineyard. You shall leave them for the poor and stranger: I am the Lord your God.

11. You shall not steal, nor deal falsely, nor lie to one another.

12. You shall not swear falsely by My name, and so defile the name of your God: I am the Lord.

13. You shall not defraud your neighbor or rob him. The wages of him who is hired shall not stay with you all night until the morning.

14. You shall not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling block before the blind, but you shall fear your God: I am the Lord.

15. You shall do no unrighteousness in a court. You shall not be partial to the poor, nor honor the person who is great, but in righteousness you shall judge your neighbor.

16. You shall not go around as a slanderer among your people, nor shall you stand by while the life of your neighbor is in danger: I am the Lord.

17. You shall not hate your brother in your heart. You shall surely reason honestly with your neighbor, and not suffer sin because of him.

18. You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord.

19. You shall keep My statutes.You shall not let your livestock breed with a different kind.You shall not sow your field with mixed seed, nor shall your garment be mixed from two types of fabric.
