    9. When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap to the very edges of your field, or gather the gleanings of your harvest.

    10. You shall not strip your vineyard bare, or gather the fallen grapes of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the poor and the alien: I am the Lord your God.

    30. Cornelius replied, “Four days ago at this very hour, at three o’clock, I was praying in my house when suddenly a man in dazzling clothes stood before me.

    31. He said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been heard and your alms have been remembered before God.

    32. Send therefore to Joppa and ask for Simon, who is called Peter; he is staying in the home of Simon, a tanner, by the sea.’

    33. Therefore I sent for you immediately, and you have been kind enough to come. So now all of us are here in the presence of God to listen to all that the Lord has commanded you to say.” Gentiles Hear the Good News

    34. Then Peter began to speak to them: “I truly understand that God shows no partiality,

    35. but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.

    11. So then, remember that at one time you Gentiles by birth, called “the uncircumcision” by those who are called “the circumcision”—a physical circumcision made in the flesh by human hands—

    12. remember that you were at that time without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.

    13. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

    14. For he is our peace; in his flesh he has made both groups into one and has broken down the dividing wall, that is, the hostility between us.

    15. He has abolished the law with its commandments and ordinances, that he might create in himself one new humanity in place of the two, thus making peace,

    16. and might reconcile both groups to God in one body through the cross, thus putting to death that hostility through it.

    17. So he came and proclaimed peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near;

    18. for through him both of us have access in one Spirit to the Father.

    19. So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are citizens with the saints and also members of the household of God,

    20. built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone.

    21. In him the whole structure is joined together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord;

    22. in whom you also are built together spiritually into a dwelling place for God.

    25. Just then a lawyer stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he said, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

    26. He said to him, “What is written in the law? What do you read there?”

    27. He answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.”

    28. And he said to him, “You have given the right answer; do this, and you will live.”

    29. But wanting to justify himself, he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”

    30. Jesus replied, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell into the hands of robbers, who stripped him, beat him, and went away, leaving him half dead.

    31. Now by chance a priest was going down that road; and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

    32. So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.

    33. But a Samaritan while traveling came near him; and when he saw him, he was moved with pity.

    34. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, having poured oil and wine on them. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

    35. The next day he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said, ‘Take care of him; and when I come back, I will repay you whatever more you spend.’

    36. Which of these three, do you think, was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers?”

    37. He said, “The one who showed him mercy.” Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.” Jesus Visits Martha and Mary

    33. When an alien resides with you in your land, you shall not oppress the alien.

    34. The alien who resides with you shall be to you as the citizen among you; you shall love the alien as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

    35. You shall not cheat in measuring length, weight, or quantity.

    36. You shall have honest balances, honest weights, an honest ephah, and an honest hin: I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.

    37. You shall keep all my statutes and all my ordinances, and observe them: I am the Lord.
