Lev 20:9 I believe. The OT was Jewish law. There were 613 laws in the OT. Jesus came to take punshment for our sins and offer us the gift of salvation. Those 613 laws have absolutey nothing to do with us. https://www.jmu.edu/dukehallgallery/exhibitions-past-2018-2019/the-613-mitzvot.shtml

We are in the Church Age, and God said the two most important commandments are 1) Love God and 2) love all people Matt 22:36-40. 36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”

37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[a] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b] 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

When we learn about His love for us and realize what He went through to save us, what he wants us to do is not burdensome. We should not hate people because of sins they commit. That's making us hypocrits. We should love and encourage people.
