Nine do nots

  Nine do nots 

In the book of Exodus we read,

1 "Do not spread false reports. Do not help a guilty person by being a malicious witness.

2 "Do not follow the crowd in doing wrong. When you give testimony in a lawsuit, do not pervert justice by siding with the crowd.

3And do not show favouritism to a poor person in a lawsuit.

4 "If you come across your enemy's ox or donkey wandering off, be sure to return it.

5 if you see the donkey of someone who hates you fallen down under its load do no leave it there; be sure you help them with it.

6 "Do not deny justice to your poor people in their lawsuits.

7 have nothing to do with a false charge and do not put an innocent or honest person to death, for I will not acquit the guilty.

8 "Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds those who see and twists the words of the innocent.

9"Do not oppress the foreigner; you yourselves know how it feels to be a foreigners, because you were foreigners in Egypt. Exodus 23:1-9.

Here in the book of Exodus we have made clear to us what we are not to do in nine verses. Look carefully through it and ask yourself “am I doing any of them?”

Please think about it.
