Leviticus 19:19-28
English Standard Version
You Shall Keep My Statutes
19 (A)“You shall keep my statutes. You shall not let your cattle breed with a different kind. (B)You shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed, nor shall you wear a garment of cloth made of two kinds of material.
20 “If a man lies sexually with a woman who is a slave, assigned to another man and not yet ransomed or given her freedom, a distinction shall be made. They shall not be put to death, because she was not free; 21 but (C)he shall bring his compensation to the Lord, to the entrance of the tent of meeting, a ram for a guilt offering. 22 And the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the guilt offering before the Lord for his sin that he has committed, and he shall be forgiven for the sin that he has committed.
23 “When you come into the land and plant any kind of tree for food, then you shall regard its fruit as forbidden.[a] Three years it shall be forbidden to you; it must not be eaten. 24 And in the fourth year all its fruit shall be holy, an offering of praise to the Lord. 25 But in the fifth year you may eat of its fruit, to increase its yield for you: I am the Lord your God.
26 (D)“You shall not eat any flesh with the blood in it. (E)You shall not interpret omens or (F)tell fortunes. 27 (G)You shall not round off the hair on your temples or mar the edges of your beard. 28 You shall not make any (H)cuts on your body for the dead or tattoo yourselves: I am the Lord.

7 (A)You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, when he said:
8 (B)“‘This people honors me with their lips,
but their heart is far from me;
9 in vain do they worship me,
teaching as (C)doctrines the commandments of men.’”

English Standard Version
27 (A)“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like (B)whitewashed tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but within are full of dead people's bones and (C)all uncleanness. 28 So you also (D)outwardly appear righteous to others, but within you are full of (E)hypocrisy and lawlessness.

9 because, if (A)you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and (B)believe in your heart (C)that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. 11 For the Scripture says, (D)“Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.”
