The Ten Commandments

Exodus 20: 3-17.

I. Thou shalt have no other gods
before me.

II. 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 shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love Me, and keep My commandments.

III. Thou shalt 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.

IV. 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.

V. Honour thy father and thy
mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord
thy God giveth thee.

VI. Thou shalt not
kill.

VII. Thou shalt not commit
adultery.

VIII. Thou shalt not
steal.

IX. Thou shalt not bear false
witness against thy neighbour.

X. 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.
