“I am the LORD
your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of
bondage.
“You
shall have no other gods before Me.
“You
shall not make for yourself a carved image—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; you
shall not bow down to them nor 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
fourth generations of those
who hate Me, but showing mercy 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
hold him guiltless 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 the Sabbath of the LORD your God. In it you shall
do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor
your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within
your gates. For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the
sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the LORD
blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
“
Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land
which the LORD your God is giving 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, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey,
nor anything that is your neighbor’s.”
