Ch 23: Purging yourself is important - keep yourself holy before God. Don't take sin lightly.
Ch 24:
Equity & honesty:
Be honest in marriage
Don't take advantage of others with loans etc

Ch 25: Paul uses this passage to argue that Christian workers are worthy of wages. We must never forget to provide for them what they deserve.
Ch 26:1-11
The law required the Israelites to give the best of what they received to God - to recognise what He had done for them and to show their dependance on Him.
The Israelites were to remember all that God had done for them - He was declaring He was their God and they His people. But, they were to live according to Him & His ways as a result.
