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 carved image—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 upon 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.
“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 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.

But
when the Pharisees heard that He had silenced the
Sadducees, they gathered together. Then one of them, a
lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, and saying,
“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the
law?” Jesus said to him, “‘You
shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with
all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This
is the first and great commandment.

| “Honor
your father and your mother,
that your days may be long upon the land which the LORD
your God is giving you.
“You
shall not murder.
“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, nor his male servant, nor his female
servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that
is your neighbor’s.”
Exodus
20:1-17

And the second is
like it: ‘You
shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On
these two commandments hang all the Law and the
Prophets.”
Matthew
22:34-40
