New Testament

Leviticus 20:21-27 Modern English Version (MEV)

21. If a man lies with his brother’s wife, it is impurity. He has exposed his brother’s nakedness. They shall be childless.

22. You shall therefore keep all My statutes and all My decrees and do them, so that the land to where I am bringing you will not vomit you out.

23. You shall not walk in the customs of the nation that I am driving out before you, for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.

24. But I have said to you: You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess it, a land that flows with milk and honey. I am the Lord your God, who has separated you from other peoples.

25. You shall therefore make distinction between the clean animal from the unclean, and the unclean fowl from the clean, and you shall not make yourselves detestable by animal, or by fowl, or by any manner of living thing that crawls on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean.

26. You shall be holy unto Me; for I the Lord am holy and have separated you from other peoples, that you should be Mine.

27. A man or woman who speaks to spirits as a medium or necromancer shall surely be put to death. They shall stone them. Their blood guilt shall be upon them.
