Where in the Bible does it mention "inalienable rights"?

The expression ‘unalienable rights’ does not occur in the Bible. The Bible is concerned with what God requires of us if we want to be part of his purpose. What is on offer is eternal life in the kingdom of Gods on earth. The requirement is expressed in the Law given through Moses and quoted by Jesus Christ. Mark 12:30,31

What we learn from the Bible is that God is love and we are required to emulate him in our dealings with others. In Matthew 5 Jesus’ teaching is very clear: Matthew 5:38-48

Jesus set the example by laying down his life for us. A life in Christ does not consist of ‘inalienable rights’ it consists of treating others as we would like to be treated. Luke 6:31
