Leviticus 19:13-19 Common English Bible (CEB)

13. You must not oppress your neighbors or rob them. Do not withhold a hired laborer’s pay overnight.

14. You must not insult a deaf person or put some obstacle in front of a blind person that would cause them to trip. Instead, fear your God; I am the Lord.

15. You must not act unjustly in a legal case. Do not show favoritism to the poor or deference to the great; you must judge your fellow Israelites fairly.

16. Do not go around slandering your people. Do not stand by while your neighbor’s blood is shed; I am the Lord.

17. You must not hate your fellow Israelite in your heart. Rebuke your fellow Israelite strongly, so you don’t become responsible for his sin.

18. You must not take revenge nor hold a grudge against any of your people; instead, you must love your neighbor as yourself; I am the Lord.

19. You must keep my rules. Do not crossbreed your livestock, do not plant your field with two kinds of seed, and do not wear clothes made from two kinds of material.
