This reading can be used when it is not the Easter season.
Summary: God calls the people of Israel to holiness, urging them to avoid hatred, revenge, and grudges, and to love others as they love themselves.
The LORD said to Moses,
“Speak to the whole Israelite community and tell them: Be holy, for I, the LORD, your God, am holy.
“You shall not bear hatred for your brother or sister in your heart. Though you may have to reprove your fellow citizen, do not incur sin because of him.
Take no revenge and cherish no grudge against any of your people. You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
I am the LORD.”
