Love Your Neighbor as Yourself 

​

9 “When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap your field right up to its edge, neither shall you gather the gleanings after your harvest. 

10 "And you shall not strip your vineyard bare, neither shall you gather the fallen grapes of your vineyard. You shall leave them for the poor and for the sojourner: I am the Lord your God."

11 “You shall not steal;  you shall not deal falsely; you shall not lie to one another. 

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

13 “You shall not oppress your neighbor or rob him. The wages of a hired worker shall not remain with you all night until the morning."

14  "You shall not curse the deaf or put a stumbling block before the blind, but you shall lfear your God: I am the Lord."

15 “You shall do no injustice in court. You shall not be partial to the poor or defer to the great, but in righteousness shall you judge your neighbor."

16  "You shall not go around as a slanderer among your people, and you shall not  stand up against the life of your neighbor: I am the Lord."

17 “You shall not hate your brother in your heart, but you shall reason frankly with your neighbor, lest you incur sin because of him. 

18 "You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the sons of your own people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord."

 HOW TO DEAL WITH A FELLOW CITIZEN IN AN OUTLYING TOWN

2 Chronicles 19:10 Common English Bible

​

10 "In any case that comes before you from a fellow citizen in an outlying town, whether it involves bloodshed or is an issue of instruction, commandment, regulations, or case laws, you must warn them not to sin against the Lord, consequently making him angry with both you and your fellow citizen. Do this, and you won’t sin."
