The Ten Commandments
| Exodus 20: 1 - 17
|
|
| 1 | And God spoke all these words, saying, |
| 2 | “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. |
| 3 | “You shall have no other gods before me. |
| 4 | “You shall not make for yourself a graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; |
| 5 | you shall not bow down to them or serve them; for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, |
| 6 | but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments. |
| 7 | “You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain. |
| 8 | “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. |
| 9 | Six days you shall labor, and do all your work; |
| 10 | but the seventh day is a sabbath to the LORD your God; in it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your manservant, or your maidservant, or your cattle, or the sojourner who is within your gates; |
| 11 | for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day and hallowed it. |
| 12 | “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which the LORD your God gives you. |
| 13 | “You shall not kill. |
| 14 | “You shall not commit adultery. |
| 15 | “You shall not steal. |
| 16 | “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. |
| 17 | “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his manservant, or his maidservant, or his ox, or his ass, or anything that is your neighbor’s.” |
