Reflect God's holiness, but fear your God

Leviticus 19:1-14
1. Respect your mother and father, observe Sabbaths
2. Do not turn to idols or make gods of cast metal for yourselves.
3. Eaten on the day you sacrifice fellowship offering or on the next day. Do not eat it on the third day.
4. Left some to the poor when reap harvest of your land.
5. Do not lie, deceive
6. Do not swear falsely by God's name
7. Do not defraud(騙取) your neighbor
8. Do not hold back the wages of a hired man overnight.
9. Do not curse the deaf or put a stumbling block in front of the blind
But fear your God.
This chapter echoes the Ten Commandments.
Mose law are forbidden to do, but respect parent and care the poor are enouraged to make it.
Why?
God's holiness, the holiness we are to reflect, shows itself in concern for the underprivileged(弱勢): God cares about the poor.
How?
Fear the Lord and obey God's commandments, reflect God's holiness.
