I am
the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt,
out of the land of slavery.
You
shall have no other gods before me. You
shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or
on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them
or worship them; for I, the Lord your God,
am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the
third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand
generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.
You
shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God,
for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.
Remember
the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work,
but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your
son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any
foreigner residing in your towns. For in six days the Lord made the
heavens and the earth,
the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day.
Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
Honor your father and
your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you.
You shall not murder.
You
shall not commit adultery.
You
shall not steal.
You shall not give false
testimony against your neighbor.
You shall not covet your
neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or
female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.
(Exodus 20:1-17 NIV)
