Moral and Religious Laws

19 The Lord told Moses ^2 (A) to say to the community of Israel:

I am the Lord your God. I am holy, and you must be holy too!

^15 (A) Be fair, no matter who is on trial—don't favor either the poor or the rich.

¹⁶ Don't be a gossip, but never hesitate to speak up in court, especially if your testimony can save someone's life.^[a]

^17 (B) Don't hold grudges. On the other hand, it's wrong not to correct someone who needs correcting. ^18 (C) Don't be angry or try to take revenge. I am the Lord, and I command you to love others as much as you love yourself.
