Exodus 20:2-17
2“1I am the Lord your God, 2who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of 3slavery.
3“4You shall have no other 5gods 6before Me.
4“7You shall not make for yourself 8an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath, or in the water under the earth. 59You shall not worship them nor serve them; for I, the Lord your God, am a 10jealous God, 11inflicting the 12punishment of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me, 6but showing 13favor to 14thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
7“15You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not 16leave him unpunished who takes His name in vain.
8“Remember 17the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 918For six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10but the seventh day is a Sabbath of the Lord your God; on it 19you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male slave or your female slave, or your cattle, or your 20resident who 21stays with you. 1122For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea and everything that is in them, and He rested on the seventh day; for that reason the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
12“23Honor your father and your mother, so that your 24days may be prolonged on the land which the Lord your God gives you.
14“26You shall not commit adultery.
16“28You shall not 29give false testimony against your 30neighbor.
17“31You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; 32you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male slave, or his female slave, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”
