14 “You are ^(A)the sons of the Lord your God. ^(B)You shall not cut yourselves or make any ^(C)baldness on your foreheads for the dead.

^5 (A)They shall not make bald patches on their heads, nor shave off the edges of their beards, nor make any cuts on their body.

²⁶ for in Christ Jesus ^(A)you are all sons of God, through faith.

⁸ This means that it is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God, but ^(A)the children of the promise are counted as offspring.

⁵ eighty men arrived from ^(A)Shechem and ^(B)Shiloh and ^(C)Samaria, with ^(D)their beards shaved and ^(E)their clothes torn, and ^(F)their bodies gashed, ^(G)bringing grain offerings and incense to present at the temple of the Lord.

⁶ Both great and small shall die in this land. ^(A)They shall not be buried, and no one shall lament for them or ^(B)cut himself ^(C)or make himself bald for them.

^27 (A)You shall not round off the hair on your temples or mar the edges of your beard. ²⁸ You shall not make any ^(B)cuts on your body for the dead or tattoo yourselves: I am the Lord.

¹⁰ For it ^(A)was fitting that he, ^(B)for whom and by whom all things exist, in bringing many sons ^(C)to glory, should make the ^(D)founder of their salvation ^(E)perfect through suffering.
