The Lord Is Holy

19 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ² “Speak to all the congregation of the people of Israel and say to them, ^(A)You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy.

^15 (A)“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 (B)You shall not go around as a slanderer among your people, and you shall not ^(C)stand up against the life^[a] of your neighbor: I am the Lord.

^17 (D)“You shall not hate your brother in your heart, but ^(E)you shall reason frankly with your neighbor, lest you ^(F)incur sin because of him. ^18 (G)You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the sons of your own people, but ^(H)you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord.
