The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Speak to all the congregation of the people of Israel and say to them:
You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy.
You shall not render an unjust judgment;
you shall not be partial to the poor or defer to the great:
 with justice you shall judge your neighbor.
You shall not go around as a slanderer among your people,
and you shall not profit by the blood of your neighbor:
I AM THE LORD.
You shall not hate in your heart anyone of your kin,
you shall reprove your neighbor, or you will incur guilt yourself.
You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against any of your people,
but you shall love your neighbor as yourself:
I AM THE LORD.
Leviticus 19:1-2, 15-18
