THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt...; you shall have no other gods before me.
You shall not make for yourself an idol...You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of parents, but showing steadfast love to the thousandth generation of those who love me and keep my commandments.
You shall not make wrongful use of the name of the Lord your God...
Remember the sabbath day, and keep it holy...
Honour your father and your mother, so that your days may be long in the land that 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 neighbour.
You shall not covet your neighbour’s house; you shall not covet your neighbour’s wife, or male or female slave, or ox, or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbour.
(Exodus 20:2-17, edited for length.)
