Romans 13:1-10
1
Everyone must obey state authorities, because no authority exists without God's permission, and the existing authorities have been put there by God.
2
Whoever opposes the existing authority opposes what God has ordered; and anyone who does so will bring judgment on himself.
3
For rulers are not to be feared by those who do good, but by those who do evil. Would you like to be unafraid of those in authority? Then do what is good, and they will praise you,
4
because they are God's servants working for your own good. But if you do evil, then be afraid of them, because their power to punish is real. They are God's servants and carry out God's punishment on those who do evil.
5
For this reason you must obey the authorities---not just because of God's punishment, but also as a matter of conscience.
6
That is also why you pay taxes, because the authorities are working for God when they fulfill their duties.
7
Pay, then, what you owe them; pay them your personal and property taxes, and show respect and honor for them all.
8
Be under obligation to no one---the only obligation you have is to love one another. Whoever does this has obeyed the Law.

James 2:9-13
9
But if you treat people according to their outward appearance, you are guilty of sin, and the Law condemns you as a lawbreaker.
10
Whoever breaks one commandment is guilty of breaking them all.
11
For the same one who said, "Do not commit adultery," also said, "Do not commit murder." Even if you do not commit adultery, you have become a lawbreaker if you commit murder.
12
Speak and act as people who will be judged by the law that sets us free.

Exodus 21:1-23
1
"Give the Israelites the following laws:
2
If you buy a Hebrew slave, he shall serve you for six years. In the seventh year he is to be set free without having to pay anything.
3
If he was unmarried when he became your slave, he is not to take a wife with him when he leaves; but if he was married when he became your slave, he may take his wife with him.
4
If his master gave him a wife and she bore him sons or daughters, the woman and her children belong to the master, and the man is to leave by himself.
5
But if the slave declares that he loves his master, his wife, and his children and does not want to be set free,
6
then his master shall take him to the place of worship. There he is to make him stand against the door or the doorpost and put a hole through his ear. Then he will be his slave for life.
7
"If a man sells his daughter as a slave, she is not to be set free, as male slaves are.
8
If she is sold to someone who intends to make her his wife, but he doesn't like her, then she is to be sold back to her father; her master cannot sell her to foreigners, because he has treated her unfairly.
9
If a man buys a female slave to give to his son, he is to treat her like a daughter.
10
If a man takes a second wife, he must continue to give his first wife the same amount of food and clothing and the same rights that she had before.
11
If he does not fulfill these duties to her, he must set her free and not receive any payment.
12
"Whoever hits someone and kills him is to be put to death.
13
But if it was an accident and he did not mean to kill him, he can escape to a place which I will choose for you, and there he will be safe.
14
But when someone gets angry and deliberately kills someone else, he is to be put to death, even if he has run to my altar for safety.
15
"Whoever hits his father or his mother is to be put to death.
16
"Whoever kidnaps someone, either to sell him or to keep him as a slave, is to be put to death.
17
"Whoever curses his father or his mother is to be put to death.
18
"If there is a fight and someone hits someone else with a stone or with his fist, but does not kill him, he is not to be punished. If the one who was hit has to stay in bed, but later is able to get up and walk outside with the help of a cane, the one who hit him is to pay for his lost time and take care of him until he gets well.
20
"If a slave owner takes a stick and beats his slave, whether male or female, and the slave dies on the spot, the owner is to be punished.
21
But if the slave does not die for a day or two, the master is not to be punished. The loss of his property is punishment enough.
22
"If some men are fighting and hurt a pregnant woman so that she loses her child, but she is not injured in any other way, the one who hurt her is to be fined whatever amount the woman's husband demands, subject to the approval of the judges.
23
But if the woman herself is injured, the punishment shall be life for life,
Leviticus 1:1-7
1
The LORD called to Moses from the Tent of the LORD's presence and gave him the following rules
2
for the Israelites to observe when they offer their sacrifices. When you offer an animal sacrifice, it may be one of your cattle or one of your sheep or goats.
3
If you are offering one of your cattle as a burnt offering, you must bring a bull without any defects. You must present it at the entrance of the Tent of the LORD's presence so that the LORD will accept you.
4
You shall put your hand on its head, and it will be accepted as a sacrifice to take away your sins.
5
You shall kill the bull there, and the Aaronite priests shall present the blood to the LORD and then throw it against all four sides of the altar located at the entrance of the Tent.
6
Then you shall skin the animal and cut it up,
7
and the priests shall arrange firewood on the altar and light it.

He gives his message to his people, his instructions and laws to Israel.
