Leviticus 19:11–18

¹¹“ ‘You must not steal. You must not cheat people, and you must not lie to each other. ¹²You must not make a false promise by my name, or you will show that you don’t respect your God. I am the Lord.

¹³“ ‘You must not cheat your neighbor or rob him. You must not keep a hired worker’s salary all night until morning. ¹⁴You must not curse a deaf person or put something in front of a blind person to make him fall. But you must respect your God. I am the Lord.

¹⁵“ ‘Be fair in your judging. You must not show special favor to poor people or great people, but be fair when you judge your neighbor. ¹⁶You must not spread false stories against other people, and you must not do anything that would put your neighbor’s life in danger. I am the Lord.

¹⁷“ ‘You must not hate your fellow citizen in your heart. If your neighbor does something wrong, tell him about it, or you will be partly to blame. ¹⁸Forget about the wrong things people do to you, and do not try to get even. Love your neighbor as you love yourself. I am the Lord.
