The Ten
Commandments Exodus 20:2-17 NKJV |
| 1 | “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. |
| 2 | “You
shall not make for yourself a carved 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 nor serve them. For I, the Lord your
God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to
the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands,
to those who love Me and keep My Commandments. |
| 3 | “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. |
| 4 | “Remember
the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work,
but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no
work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female
servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six
days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them,
and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed
it. |
| 5 | “Honor
your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the
Lord your God is giving you. |
| 6 | “You
shall not murder. |
| 7 | “You
shall not commit adultery. |
| 8 | “You
shall not steal. |
| 9 | “You
shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. |
| 10 | “You
shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife,
nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor
anything that is your neighbor's.” |
