Articles, Bible studies, and sermons that contain Leviticus 19:16:

Leviticus 19:16-18

We are not to harbor any hatred in our heart toward him. And on top of that one shall not meditate on revenge against him.

The New English Bible renders Leviticus 19:17-18, "You shall reprove your fellow countryman frankly and so you will have no share in his guilt" or, "you shall go to your neighbor with the problem. The phrase not suffer sin upon him literally means, "that you may not participate in his sin. We incur guilt by not going to our brother to correct the situation, and we do him hurt.

From Today's English Version: "Do not bear a grudge against anyone, but settle your differences with him so that you will not commit sin because of him [the sin of resenting it]. Do not take revenge on anyone or continue to hate him, but love your neighbor as yourself."

Excerpted from Thou Shall Love Thy Neighbor

Leviticus 19:16-18

The pairings there are very interesting. We have your people/neighbor; brother/neighbor; children of your people/your neighbor; neighbor, brother, children of your people are all used synonymously and it is all written to those who have made the covenant with God. So right in the context, the command is given to the people of God, those who were fellow covenant makers and were obeying the laws of God.
