Exodus 20
The Ten Commandments
1 And God spoke all these words:
2 "I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.

3 "You shall have no other gods before [a] me.

4 "You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but showing love to a thousand {generations} of those who love me and keep my commandments.

7 "You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.

8 "Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your gates. 11 For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

12 "Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you.

13 "You shall not murder.

14 "You shall not commit adultery.

15 "You shall not steal.

16 "You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.

17 "You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor."

18 When the people saw the thunder and lightning and heard the trumpet and saw the mountain in smoke, they trembled with fear. They stayed at a distance 19 and said to Moses, "Speak to us yourself and we will listen. But do not have God speak to us or we will die."

20 Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid. God has come to test you, so that the fear of God will be with you to keep you from sinning."

21 The people remained at a distance, while Moses approached the thick darkness where God was.

Answer 5

Exodus 20 (The Message)

1-2 God spoke all these words: I am God, your God,
who brought you out of the land of Egypt,
out of a life of slavery.
3 No other gods, only me.
4-6 No carved gods of any size, shape, or form of anything whatever, whether of things that fly or walk or swim. Don't bow down to them and don't serve them because I am God, your God, and I'm a most jealous God, punishing the children for any sins their parents pass on to them to the third, and yes, even to the fourth generation of those who hate me. But I'm unswervingly loyal to the thousands who love me and keep my commandments.
7 No using the name of God, your God, in curses or silly banter; God won't put up with the irreverent use of his name.
8-11 Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Work six days and do everything you need to do. But the seventh day is a Sabbath to God, your God. Don't do any work—not you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your servant, nor your maid, nor your animals, not even the foreign guest visiting in your town. For in six days God made Heaven, Earth, and sea, and everything in them; he rested on the seventh day. Therefore God blessed the Sabbath day; he set it apart as a holy day.
12 Honor your father and mother so that you'll live a long time in the land that God, your God, is giving you.
13 No murder.

14 No adultery.

15 No stealing.

16 No lies about your neighbor.
17 No lusting after your neighbor's house—or wife or servant or maid or ox or donkey. Don't set your heart on anything that is your neighbor's.


18-19 All the people, experiencing the thunder and lightning, the trumpet blast and the smoking mountain, were afraid—they pulled back and stood at a distance. They said to Moses, "You speak to us and we'll listen, but don't have God speak to us or we'll die."

20 Moses spoke to the people: "Don't be afraid. God has come to test you and instill a deep and reverent awe within you so that you won't sin."

21 The people kept their distance while Moses approached the thick cloud where God was.

Of course, these were later summed up by Jesus Christ, in Matthew 22:37-40 (NLT) "37Jesus replied, 'You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind. 38This is the first and greatest commandment. 39A second is equally important: `Love your neighbor as yourself.' 40All the other commandments and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments."

Hope this helps, God bless!

1. "Thou shalt have no other Gods before me."
2. "Thou shalt not make thee any graven 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: thou shalt not bow thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lorsd thy God am ajealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate Me; & shewing mercy unto thousands of them that keep my commandments."
3. "Thou shalt not take the name of thy Lord in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh His name in vain."
4. "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work: but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not to do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: for in six days the Lord made heaven & earth, the sea, & all that in them is, & rested the Sabbath day, & hallowed it." (similar is Rev.14:7; JOHN 4:22-24; SABBATH IS SATURDAY)
5. "Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee."

Answer 8

Typical Protestant view
The Lutheran Decalogue is the basically the same as the Roman Catholic Decalogue. Both omit the commandment against making graven images (the Second Commandment of other Protestant and Orthodox Christians and of Jews) and separate the commandment against coveting (the Tenth Commandment of other Protestant and Orthodox Christians and of Jews) into the Ninth and Tenth commandments. Exodus 20:

Preface: vs 1-2
Implies the obligation to keep all of the commandments of God, in gratitude because of the abundance of his mercy
Forbids ingratitude to God and denial that he is our God.
vs 3.
Enjoins that God must be known and acknowledged to be the only true God, and our God; and, to worship him and to make him known as he has been made known to us
Forbids not worshiping and glorifying the true God as God, and as our God; and forbids giving worship and glory to any other, which is due to him alone
vs 4-6
Requires receiving, observing, and keeping pure and entire, all such religious worship and ordinances as God has appointed; and zeal in resisting those who would corrupt worship; because of God's ownership of us, and interest in our salvation.
Prohibits the worshiping of God by images, or by confusion of any creature with God, or any other way not appointed in his Word.
vs 7
Enjoins a holy and a reverent use of God’s names, titles, attributes, ordinances, Word, and works.
Forbids all abuse of anything by which God makes himself known. Some Protestants, especially in the tradition of pacifism, read this Commandment as forbidding any and all oaths, including judicial oaths and oaths of allegiance to a government, noting that human weakness cannot foretell whether such oaths will in fact be vain.
vs 8-11
Requires setting apart to God such set times as are appointed in his Word. Many Protestants are increasingly concerned that the values of the marketplace do not dominate entirely, and deprive people of leisure and energy needed for worship, for the creation of civilised culture. The setting of time apart from and free from the demands of commerce is one of the foundations of a decent human society. See Sabbath.
Forbids the omission, or careless performance, of the religious duties, using the day for idleness, or for doing that which is in itself sinful; and prohibits requiring of others any such omission, or transgression, on the designated day.
vs 12
The only commandment with explicitly positive content, rather than a prohibition; it connects all of the temporal blessings of God, with reverence for and obedience to authority, and especially for father and mother.
Forbids doing anything against, or failing to give, the honor and duty which belongs to anyone, whether because they possess authority or because they are subject to authority.
vs 13
Requires all lawful endeavors to preserve our own life, and the life of others.
Forbids taking away of our own life, or the life of our neighbor, unjustly; and, anything that tends toward depriving life.
vs 14
Enjoins protection of our own and our neighbor’s chastity, in heart, speech, and behavior.
Forbids all unchaste thoughts, words, and actions.
vs 15
Requires a defense of all lawful things that further the wealth and outward estate of ourselves and others
Prohibits whatever deprives our neighbor, or ourselves, of lawfully gained wealth or outward estate.
vs 16
Requires the maintaining and promoting of truth between people, and of our neighbor’s good name and our own, especially in witness-bearing.
Forbids whatsoever is prejudicial to truth, or injurious to our own, or our neighbor’s, good name.
vs 17
Enjoins contentment with our own condition, and a charitable attitude toward our neighbor and all that is his, being thankful for his sake that he has whatever is beneficial to him, as we are for those things that benefit us.
Forbids discontent or envy, prohibits any grief over the betterment of our neighbor's estate, and all inordinate desires to obtain for ourselves, or scheming to wrest for our benefit, anything that is his.

Jehovah's Witnesses
Jehovah's Witnesses hold that the commandments were given together with the Mosaic law and the old covenant. While they understand the Bible as saying Christians are not bound by the Ten Commandments, (Colossians 2:13-14) they recognize the importance the Bible places have on these principles for living a Christian life. (Galatians 6:2; Matthew 22:35-40) They believe that the Sabbatarian law is obsolete. (Colossians 2:16-17)

The first four commandments define the correct relationship between God and man.

First - Jehovah exacts exclusive devotion; He tolerates no rivalry with other gods. (Ex. 20:3)
Second - Images are never to be used in worship - all forms of idolatry are an open affront to Jehovah. (Vs.4-6)
Third - The use of God’s name is to be dignified, never used disrespectfuly.
When the Israelites became unfaithful they, as representatives of Jehovah by bearing his name, "took it up" or "carried" it "in vain"(Vs.7)

Fourth - The Sabbath day was reserved for reflection on spiritual things, a day of rest from work so that the Israelites could meditate on Jehovah's Laws without distraction. (Vs.8-10) In modern times, Jehovah's Witnesses are still commanded to follow this principle, though not keeping any explicit weekday holy.
Fifth- This commandment can be seen as the linking together of the first four (defining man's proper relationship with God) and the final six, (showing the proper relationships between humans) It is the obedience children owe their parents. This is a relationship which extends beyond childhood. To respect one’s parents is to show respect for the ultimate parent – Jehovah God.(Vs.12)
Sixth through Ninth - Murder, Adultery, Stealing and Lying are very pointed thus leaving no room for interpretation. These things are not to be practiced. (Vs.13-16)
Tenth – This makes it clear that not only were the Israelites not to practice the things mentioned in the previous nine commands, but that they were also to not allow a desire for these things to take root in their hearts and minds. (Vs.17)
[edit]
New Church (Swedenborgianism)
The New Church (or Swedenborgianism) holds that Christians are completely bound to follow the Ten Commandments. Swedenborgians believe that when Paul writes that man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law (Rom. 3:28), he is referring to the ceremonial laws given only for the Jews in the law of Moses, not to the moral and spiritual law of the Ten Commandments (see Rom. 3:31, Rom. 2:13, Rom. 2:6, 2 Cor. 5:10, Rom. 13:8-11). In addition to typical Christian interpretations of the literal meaning, Swedenborgians believe that the Ten Commandments have a spiritual meaning and a celestial meaning by means of correspondences. The interpretations of the commandments from Emanuel Swedenborg’s True Christian Religion are as follows (Swedenborg followed the Lutheran and Catholic division of the commandments):

You shall have no other gods before My face.
The literal meaning is that idols must not be worshipped; no one may be loved above God, and nothing may be loved more than the things that come from God.
The spiritual meaning is that no other God than Jesus Christ, who is Jehovah incarnate, is to be worshipped.
The celestial meaning is that Lord Jehovah is infinite, measureless, eternal; He is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent; He is love itself and wisdom itself, thus life itself; He is the source of everything.
You shall not take the name of Jehovah your God in vain.
The literal meaning forbids misuse of any of God’s names in insincere or empty conversation, although it is allowed in swearing sincere oaths and should be used reverently in all worship.
In the spiritual meaning, the name of God means all the teachings of the Word, which are not to be used insincerely or evilly.
Taking God’s name in vain in the celestial sense means to deny the complete Divinity of the Lord Jesus Christ and to deny the holiness of the Word.
Remember the Sabbath day.
As this was a Jewish religious ceremony, its literal sense does not apply to Christians as it did to Jews; but the Sabbath day remains important as a day for instruction in Divine things and rest from work, as well as love toward the neighbor.
The Sabbath day in the spiritual sense refers to a man’s complete reformation and regeneration, since the days of creation referred to the process of reformation and regeneration and the seventh day marked its completeness.
The celestial meaning of the Sabbath day is peace and rest coming from conjunction with the Lord.
Honor your father and your mother.
This literally means obeying parents (for children) and showing gratitude to them; in a wider literal sense, it means honoring political leaders and a person’s country.
In the spiritual sense, honoring father and mother means reverencing and loving God and the Church.
In the celestial sense, father means the Lord Jesus Christ, and mother means all those who follow him in the world.
You shall not murder.
In the literal sense, this means killing or inflicting mortal injury on a human being; in a wider sense, it means destroying a person’s reputation; and in an even wider sense, it refers to feelings of enmity, hatred, and revenge.
In the spiritual sense, to murder means to try to kill or destroy a person’s soul, for example by turning them away from God.
In the celestial sense, murdering means being unjustifiably angry with the Lord, hating Him, and wanting to blot out His name.
You shall not commit adultery.
In the literal sense, this commandment forbids adultery, as well has having obscene desires and indulging in lascivious thoughts and talk.
In the spiritual sense committing adultery means adulterating the good things in the Word and falsifying its truths.
In the celestial sense committing adultery means denying the holiness of the Word and profaning it.
You shall not steal.
In the literal sense this commandment forbids taking anything that does not belong to you and extends to any fraud or deceit that brings in unlawful gain.
In the spiritual sense this commandment means depriving others of the truths they get from their faith, which is the effect of falsities and heretical beliefs.
In the celestial sense thieves are those who strip the Lord of His Divine power and claim His merit and righteousness for themselves.
You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
In the literal sense this means not committing perjury in court, and in a wider sense any sort of lying or hypocrisy with evil intent, as well as slandering one’s neighbors to undermine their reputation; in an even wider sense, it forbids using any sort of trickery or guile.
In the spiritual sense bearing false witness means persuading others that false ideas are true and that true ideas are false, and that evil ways of life are good and good ways of life evil.
In the celestial sense bearing false witness means speaking blasphemy against the Lord and the Word, thus chasing truth from the church.
and 10. You shall not covet.
In the literal sense, this means that a person should not desire to take things that are not his; in a wider sense, that a person should not desire to break any of the previous commandments.
In the spiritual sense, this commandment forbids lusts which are against the spirit.
No celestial sense is given.
Members of the New Church believe that following the Ten Commandments and worshipping the Lord God Jesus Christ are the two essentials of salvation, since anyone who follows the commandments in his heart loves his neighbor and loves God, which is salvation.
