勿緣斯事自辱厥躬、我於爾前所逐之民、行此自玷、

異邦人行此、自取污衊、故我逐之、爾勿則效、

爾毋行此沾污己身、我於爾前所將逐之諸族皆行之、自取沾污、

“‘ Do not defile yourselves in any of these ways, because this is how the nations that I am going to drive out before you became defiled.

“‘ Do not make yourselves“ unclean” in any of these ways. That is how other nations became“ unclean.” So I am going to drive those nations out of the land to make room for you.

“ Do not make yourselves unclean by any of these things, for by all these the nations I am driving out before you have become unclean,

“ Do not defile yourselves by any of these practices, for the nations I am driving out before you have defiled themselves by all these things.

‘ Do not defile yourselves by any of these things; for by all these things the nations which I am driving out from you have become defiled.

‘ Do not defile yourselves with any of these things; for by all these the nations are defiled, which I am casting out before you.

Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out from before you;

“ Do not defile yourselves by any of these practices, for the nations I am driving out before you have defiled themselves by all these things.

Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:

“‘ Do not defile yourselves with any of these things, for the nations which I am about to drive out before you have been defiled with all these things.

“‘ Don’t defile yourselves in any of these things; for in all these the nations which I am casting out before you were defiled.

Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord. It is because the other nations have done these detestable things that the Lord your God will drive them out ahead of you.

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.”

You must not worship the Lord your God the way the other nations worship their gods, for they perform for their gods every detestable act that the Lord hates. They even burn their sons and daughters as sacrifices to their gods.

But the words you speak come from the heart— that’s what defiles you.For from the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, all sexual immorality, theft, lying, and slander.These are what defile you. Eating with unwashed hands will never defile you.”

“ Again and again I sent my servants, the prophets, to plead with them,‘ Don’t do these horrible things that I hate so much.’

So do not act like the people in Egypt, where you used to live, or like the people of Canaan, where I am taking you. You must not imitate their way of life.

“ You must keep all my decrees and regulations by putting them into practice; otherwise the land to which I am bringing you as your new home will vomit you out.Do not live according to the customs of the people I am driving out before you. It is because they do these shameful things that I detest them.

God will destroy anyone who destroys this temple. For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.

“ You must never have sexual relations with a close relative, for I am the Lord.“ Do not violate your father by having sexual relations with your mother. She is your mother; you must not have sexual relations with her.“ Do not have sexual relations with any of your father’s wives, for this would violate your father.“ Do not have sexual relations with your sister or half sister, whether she is your father’s daughter or your mother’s daughter, whether she was born into your household or someone else’s.“ Do not have sexual relations with your granddaughter, whether she is your son’s daughter or your daughter’s daughter, for this would violate yourself.“ Do not have sexual relations with your stepsister, the daughter of any of your father’s wives, for she is your sister.“ Do not have sexual relations with your father’s sister, for she is your father’s close relative.“ Do not have sexual relations with your mother’s sister, for she is your mother’s close relative.“ Do not violate your uncle, your father’s brother, by having sexual relations with his wife, for she is your aunt.“ Do not have sexual relations with your daughter in law; she is your son’s wife, so you must not have sexual relations with her.“ Do not have sexual relations with your brother’s wife, for this would violate your brother.“ Do not have sexual relations with both a woman and her daughter. And do not take her granddaughter, whether her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter, and have sexual relations with her. They are close relatives, and this would be a wicked act.“ While your wife is living, do not marry her sister and have sexual relations with her, for they would be rivals.“ Do not have sexual relations with a woman during her period of menstrual impurity.“ Do not defile yourself by having sexual intercourse with your neighbor’s wife.“ Do not permit any of your children to be offered as a sacrifice to Molech, for you must not bring shame on the name of your God. I am the Lord.“ Do not practice homosexuality, having sex with another man as with a woman. It is a detestable sin.“ A man must not defile himself by having sex with an animal. And a woman must not offer herself to a male animal to have intercourse with it. This is a perverse act.

For instance, Moses gave you this law from God:‘ Honor your father and mother,’ and‘ Anyone who speaks disrespectfully of father or mother must be put to death.’But you say it is all right for people to say to their parents,‘ Sorry, I can’t help you. For I have vowed to give to God what I would have given to you.’In this way, you let them disregard their needy parents.And so you cancel the word of God in order to hand down your own tradition. And this is only one example among many others.”Then Jesus called to the crowd to come and hear.“ All of you listen,” he said,“ and try to understand.It’s not what goes into your body that defiles you; you are defiled by what comes from your heart.”
