New American Standard Bible
15 ‘(A)You shall not do injustice in judgment; you shall not show partiality to the poor nor give preference to the great, but you are to judge your neighbor fairly. 16 You shall not go about as (B)a slanderer among your people; and you are not to [a]jeopardize the [b](C)life of your neighbor. I am the Lord.
17 ‘You (D)shall not hate your fellow countryman in your heart; you (E)may certainly rebuke your neighbor, but you are not to incur sin because of him. 18 (F)You shall not take vengeance, (G)nor hold any grudge against the sons of your people, but (H)you shall love your neighbor as yourself; I am the Lord.
19 ‘You are to keep My statutes. You shall not cross-breed two kinds of your cattle; (I)you shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed, nor wear a garment of two kinds of material mixed together.
