Then God spoke all
these words, saying, "I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the
land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
-
"You shall have no
other gods before Me.
-
"You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in
heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth.
You shall not worship them
or serve them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the
iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth
generations of those who hate Me, but showing lovingkindness to thousands,
to those who love Me and keep My commandments."
-
"You shall not take
the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not leave him
unpunished who takes His name in vain."
-
"Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor
and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath of the LORD your God;
in it you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter, your male
or your female servant or your cattle or your sojourner who stays with you.
For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all
that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the LORD blessed
the sabbath day and made it holy."
-
"Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be prolonged in the
land which the LORD your God gives you."
-
"You shall not
murder."
-
"You shall not commit
adultery."
-
"You shall not steal."
-
"You shall not bear
false witness against your neighbor."
-
"You shall not covet
your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife or his male
servant or his female servant or his ox or his donkey or anything that
belongs to your neighbor."
