THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
1. Thou shalt have no
other gods before me.
2. Thou shalt not make unto
thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above,
or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord
thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the
children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me: And
showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
3. Thou shaltt not
take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him
guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
4. Remember the sabbath day,
to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the
seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do
any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy
maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in
them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath
day, and hallowed it.
5. Honour thy father and
thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy
God giveth thee.
6. Thou shalt not kill.
7. Thou shalt not commit
adultery.
8. Thou shalt not steal.
9. Thou shalt not bear false
witness against thy neighbor.
10. Thou shalt not covet
thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his
manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing
that is thy neighbour’s.
