COMMANDMENTS
And God spoke all these words, saying,
"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 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.
- 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 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.
- Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land
which the LORD your God gives you.
- You shall not kill.
- 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, or his manservant, or his maidservant, or his ox, or his ass, or anything
that is your neighbor's.
Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?
And He said to him,
You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,
and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment.
And a second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
On these two commandments depend all the law and the prophets.
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another;
even as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
Owe no one anything, except to love one another;
for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.
The commandments, "You shall not commit adultery,
You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,
and any other commandment, are summed up in this sentence,
You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
Love does no wrong to a neighbor;
therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
(Exodus 20:1-17, Mt 22:36b-40, John 13:34, Romans 13:8-10 RSV)
