“Do not love the world, nor the things in the world.  If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.  For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world.”  (1 John, Chapter 2, Verses 15 - 16)

​

Although there are other immoral behaviors that God condemns besides those which are shown here; these are among the worst that are committed.

But if there is any further injury, then you shall appoint as a penalty

Life for Life,

Eye for Eye,

Tooth for Tooth,

Hand for Hand,

Foot for Foot,

Burn for Burn,

Wound for Wound,

Bruise for Bruise.”

You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing lovingkindness to thousands, to those who love Me and keep my commandments.”

​
