Levítico 19:11-21

11 No hurtaréis, y no engañaréis, ni mentiréis ninguno á su prójimo.

12 Y no juraréis en mi nombre con mentira, ni profanarás el nombre de tu Dios: Yo Jehová.

13 No oprimirás á tu prójimo, ni le robarás. No se detendrá el trabajo del jornalero en tu casa hasta la mañana.

14 No maldigas al sordo, y delante del ciego no pongas tropiezo, mas tendrás temor de tu Dios: Yo Jehová.

15 No harás agravio en el juicio: no tendrás respeto al pobre, ni honrarás la cara del grande: con justicia juzgarás á tu prójimo.

16 No andarás chismeando en tus pueblos. No te pondrás contra la sangre de tu prójimo: Yo Jehová.

17 No aborrecerás á tu hermano en tu corazón: ingenuamente reprenderás á tu prójimo, y no consentirás sobre él pecado.

18 No te vengarás, ni guardarás rencor á los hijos de tu pueblo: mas amarás á tu prójimo como á ti mismo: Yo Jehová.

19 Mis estatutos guardaréis. A tu animal no harás ayuntar para misturas; tu haza no sembrarás con mistura de semillas, y no te pondrás vestidos con mezcla de diversas cosas.

20 Y cuando un hombre tuviere cópula con mujer, y ella fuere sierva desposada con alguno, y no estuviere rescatada, ni le hubiere sido dada libertad, ambos serán azotados: no morirán, por cuanto ella no es libre.

21 Y él traerá á Jehová, á la puerta del tabernáculo del testimonio, un carnero en expiación por su culpa.
