Leviticus 19:9-20
English Standard Version
Love Your Neighbor as Yourself
9 (A)“When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap your field right up to its edge, neither shall you gather the gleanings after your harvest. 10 And you shall not strip your vineyard bare, neither shall you gather the fallen grapes of your vineyard. You shall leave them for the poor and for the sojourner: I am the Lord your God.
11 (B)“You shall not steal; (C)you shall not deal falsely; you shall not lie to one another. 12 (D)You shall not swear by my name falsely, and so (E)profane the name of your God: I am the Lord.
13 (F)“You shall not oppress your neighbor or rob him. (G)The wages of a hired worker shall not remain with you all night until the morning. 14 (H)You shall not curse the deaf or put a stumbling block before the blind, but you shall (I)fear your God: I am the Lord.
15 (J)“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 (K)You shall not go around as a slanderer among your people, and you shall not (L)stand up against the life[a] of your neighbor: I am the Lord.
17 (M)“You shall not hate your brother in your heart, but (N)you shall reason frankly with your neighbor, lest you (O)incur sin because of him. 18 (P)You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the sons of your own people, but (Q)you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord.
You Shall Keep My Statutes
19 (R)“You shall keep my statutes. You shall not let your cattle breed with a different kind. (S)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;

Leviticus 19:9-20
King James Version
9 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest.
10 And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I am the Lord your God.
11 Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.
12 And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the Lord.
13 Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbour, neither rob him: the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until the morning.
14 Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the blind, but shalt fear thy God: I am the Lord.
15 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.
16 Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbour; I am the Lord.
17 Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.
18 Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the Lord.
19 Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee.
20 And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, that is a bondmaid, betrothed to an husband, and not at all redeemed, nor freedom given her; she shall be scourged; they shall not be put to death, because she was not free.
