Leviticus 19:18

Love for others Forgiving others Anger Conflict and reconciliation

¹⁶ You must not go about spreading slander among your people. You must not endanger the life of your neighbor. I am the LORD.

¹⁷ You must not harbor hatred against your brother in your heart. Directly rebuke your neighbor, so that you will not incur guilt on account of him.

Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against any of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD.

¹⁹ You are to keep My statutes. You shall not crossbreed two different kinds of livestock; you shall not sow your fields with two kinds of seed; and you shall not wear clothing made of two kinds of material.

²⁰ If a man lies carnally with a slave girl promised to another man but who has not been redeemed or given her freedom, there must be due punishment. But they are not to be put to death, because she had not been freed.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
