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."
