Exodus
Chapter 20
1 And God spoke all these words,
saying, 2 "I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land
of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 "You shall have no other gods before me.
4 "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; 5
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, 6 but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me
and keep my commandments.
7 "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.
8 "Remember the
Sabbath day, to keep it
holy. 9 Six days you shall labor, and do all your work; 10 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; 11 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.
12 "Honor your father and your mother,
that your days may be long in the land which the LORD your God gives
you.
13 "You shall not kill.
14 "You shall not commit adultery.
15 "You shall not steal.
16 "You shall not bear false witness
against your neighbor.
17 "You shall not covet your neighbor's
house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant,
or his maidservant, or his ox, or his ass, or anything that is your
neighbors." |
