Leviticus 20 revisits many of Chapter 18's sexual prohibitions in a different legal form and supplies penalties. Their compositional relationship is debated, but the canonical correspondence is unmistakable.

Paul's condemnation of a man having his father's wife strongly matches the Leviticus 18:8 / 20:11 prohibition, though Deuteronomy 22:30 and 27:20 are also possible immediate legal backgrounds.

John's condemnation of Herod's marriage to his brother's wife belongs to Torah's prohibited-relationship framework. Exact family circumstances and whether Philip was living require historical precision.

Acts 15 prohibits Gentile believers from things polluted by idols, sexual immorality, strangled meat, and blood. Many interpreters see a strong background in Leviticus 17–18, where resident aliens as well as Israelites are addressed in clustered rules about sacrifice, blood, and sexual conduct. The correspondence is serious but debated because the council never names Leviticus 17–18 as its source.
