Your words, O Lord are Spirit and life.

"The Lord said to Moses:  Speak to the whole Israelite community and tell them: Be holy, for I, the Lord your God, am holy."  (Leviticus 19: 1-2 NABRE)

"You shall not go about spreading slander among your people; nor shall you stand by idly when your neighbor’s life is at stake. I am the Lord.

"You shall not hate any of your kindred in your heart. Reprove your neighbor openly so that you do not incur sin because of that person.  Take no revenge and cherish no grudge against your own people. You shall love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord."  (Leviticus 19: 16 - 18 NABRE)
