The Ten Commandments
"And behold, one came up to Him, saying,
"Teacher, what good deed must I do, to have eternal life?" And He said
to him, "Why do you ask Me about what is good? One there is who is good.
If you would enter life, keep the Commandments." He said to Him, "Which?"
And Jesus said, "You shall not kill, You shall not commit adultery, You
shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness, Honor your father and
mother, and, You shall love your neighbor as yourself." (Matthew 19:16-19
RSV)
Commandments One to Four:
How To Properly Worship The
Only True God
First
"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."
Second
"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; 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, but showing steadfast love
to thousands of those who love Me and keep My Commandments."
Third
"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."
Fourth
"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 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; 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."
