New Living Translation (NLT)
Leviticus 18
26 You must obey all my decrees and regulations. You must not commit any of these detestable sins. This applies both to native-born Israelites and to the foreigners living among you.
27 “All these detestable activities are practiced by the people of the land where I am taking you, and this is how the land has become defiled.
28 So do not defile the land and give it a reason to vomit you out, as it will vomit out the people who live there now.
29 Whoever commits any of these detestable sins will be cut off from the community of Israel.
30 So obey my instructions, and do not defile yourselves by committing any of these detestable practices that were committed by the people who lived in the land before you. I am the LORD your God.”
Leviticus 19
1 The LORD also said to Moses,
2 “Give the following instructions to the entire community of Israel. You must be holy because I, the LORD your God, am holy.
3 “Each of you must show great respect for your mother and father, and you must always observe my Sabbath days of rest. I am the LORD your God.
4 “Do not put your trust in idols or make metal images of gods for yourselves. I am the LORD your God.
5 “When you sacrifice a peace offering to the LORD, offer it properly so you will be accepted by God.
6 The sacrifice must be eaten on the same day you offer it or on the next day. Whatever is left over until the third day must be completely burned up.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
