The Ten Commandments
I. You shall have no other gods before me.
II. You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on
the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or
worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the
children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of
those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand [generations] of those who
love me and keep my commandments.
III.You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone
guiltless who misuses his name.
IV. Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh
day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any
work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or
maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your gates. For in six
days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in
them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the
Sabbath day and made it holy.
V. Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your
God is giving you.
VI. You shall not murder.
VII. You shall not commit adultery.
VIII. You shall not steal.
IX. You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.
X. You shall not covet your neighbor's
house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant or
maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.
