New Testament

Leviticus 19:9-20 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

9. When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not be so thorough that you reap the field to its very edge, nor shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest.

10. Likewise, you shall not pick your vineyard bare, nor gather up the grapes that have fallen. These things you shall leave for the poor and the alien. I, the Lord, am your God.

11. You shall not steal. You shall not deceive or speak falsely to one another.

12. You shall not swear falsely by my name, thus profaning the name of your God. I am the Lord.

13. You shall not exploit your neighbor. You shall not commit robbery. You shall not withhold overnight the wages of your laborer.

14. You shall not insult the deaf, or put a stumbling block in front of the blind, but you shall fear your God. I am the Lord.

15. You shall not act dishonestly in rendering judgment. Show neither partiality to the weak nor deference to the mighty, but judge your neighbor justly.

16. You shall not go about spreading slander among your people; nor shall you stand by idly when your neighbor’s life is at stake. I am the Lord.

17. You shall not hate any of your kindred in your heart. Reprove your neighbor openly so that you do not incur sin because of that person.

18. Take no revenge and cherish no grudge against your own people. You shall love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord.

19. Keep my statutes: do not breed any of your domestic animals with others of a different species; do not sow a field of yours with two different kinds of seed; and do not put on a garment woven with two different kinds of thread.

20. If a man has sexual relations with a female slave who has been acquired by another man but has not yet been redeemed or given her freedom, an investigation shall be made. They shall not be put to death, because she has not been freed.
