The same law will apply ¹  to the person who is native-born and to the foreigner who lives among you.”

If the ox ¹  gores a son or a daughter, the owner ²  will be dealt with according to this rule. ³ 

You must have one law for the person who sins unintentionally, both for the native-born among the Israelites and for the resident foreigner who lives among them.

All the days of his separation he must be holy to the Lord.

“‘This is the law: When a man dies ¹  in a tent, anyone who comes into the tent and all who are in the tent will be ceremonially unclean seven days.

They replied, ¹  “Believe ²  in the Lord Jesus ³  and you will be saved, you and your household.”

When you gather the grapes of your vineyard you must not do so a second time; ¹  they should go to the resident foreigner, orphan, and widow.

Having heard everything, I have reached this conclusion: ¹  Fear God and keep his commandments, because this is the whole duty ²  of man.
