⁹ “For any kind of trespass, whether it concerns an ox, a donkey, a sheep, or clothing, or for any kind of lost thing which another claims to be his, the ^(A)cause of both parties shall come before the judges; and whomever the judges condemn shall pay double to his neighbor.

Laws of Social Responsibility

25 “If there is a ^(A)dispute between men, and they come to ^[a]court, that the judges may judge them, and they ^(B)justify the righteous and condemn the wicked,

⁶ “Speak to the children of Israel: ^(A)‘When a man or woman commits any sin that men commit in unfaithfulness against the Lord, and that person is guilty, ^7 (B)then he shall confess the sin which he has committed. He shall make restitution for his trespass ^(C)in full, plus one-fifth of it, and give it to the one he has wronged.

^6 (A)“You shall not pervert the judgment of your poor in his dispute. ^7 (B)Keep yourself far from a false matter; ^(C)do not kill the innocent and righteous. For ^(D)I will not justify the wicked. ⁸ And ^(E)you shall take no bribe, for a bribe blinds the discerning and perverts the words of the righteous.

^28 (A)“You shall not revile God, nor curse a ^(B)ruler of your people.

⁴ If the theft is certainly ^(A)found alive in his hand, whether it is an ox or donkey or sheep, he shall ^(B)restore double.

³ Take heed to yourselves. ^(A)If your brother sins ^[a]against you, ^(B)rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. ⁴ And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day returns ^[b]to you, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him.”

^35 (A)“So My heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother ^[a]his trespasses.”

Dealing with a Sinning Brother

¹⁵ “Moreover ^(A)if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, ^(B)you have gained your brother.
