Exodus 20:3-17
3“1You shall have no other 2gods 3before Me.
4“4You shall not make for yourself 5an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth. 56You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the Lord your God, am a 7jealous God, 8visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me, 6but showing lovingkindness to 9thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
7“10You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not 11leave him unpunished who takes His name in vain.
8“Remember 12the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 913Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10but the seventh day is a sabbath of the Lord your God; in it 14you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter, your male or your female servant or your cattle or your sojourner who 15stays with you. 1116For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day and made it holy.
12“17Honor your father and your mother, that your 18days may be prolonged in the land which the Lord your God gives you.
14“20You shall not commit adultery.
16“22You shall not bear false witness against your 23neighbor.
17“24You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; 25you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife or his male servant or his female servant or his ox or his donkey or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”
