Which are the real 10 commandments?

Question

I believe the answer is in Exodus in the Bible.

Answer 1

1)”You shall have no other gods before Me.”

2)"You shall not make any graven image or likeness of any other god. 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 wife; nor his house, 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

Answer 2

The 10 Commandments can be found in Exodus 20, and reiterated in Deuteronomy 5. Also, they are found individually scattered throughout the Bible.

These are the same commandments that Abraham obeyed (Genesis 26:5), and the same commandments that Christians follow even till the return of Jesus Christ (Matthew 19:17, Revelation 12:17, 14:12, 22:14).

These are the same commandments that define godly love -- the first 4 show love towards God, the last 6, love towards fellow man. Jesus summed them up in the two 'Great Commandments' when he said, "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.' And the second [great commandment] is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'"

Answer 3

The Ten Commandments in Exodus apply to the old Testament and are good rules to live by. However Jesus added, Love one another as I have loved you. Kindness and compassion were the theme preached by Jesus. I would add these to the original 10

Answer 4

First of all, the 10 commandments are not numbered in the Bible.

Look at Exodus 20:2-17 and Deut 5:6-21. This is where the 10 Commandments are found. But there are more that 10 things to do or not do. For example:

10 "You shall not" statements
1 "Remember to keep Sabbath Holy"
1 "Six days you may labor"
1 "Rest on the Sabbath"
1 "Honor father and mother"
1 "remember that you too were once slaves" (Deut 5:15)

The Bible tells us that there are 10 Commandments (Exodus 34:28) but it does not tell us how to divide the statements in Exodus 20:2-17 and Deut 5:6-21 to arrive at only 10 Commandments.

Different groups have divided them in different ways, creating 2 Christian "versions" of the 10 commandments. Both versions contain the same information.

Latin Rite Catholics and Lutherans use a numbering determined by St. Augustine around 400 AD.

Eastern (Orthodox) Catholics and most Protestants use a different numbering ( I'm not sure who determined that version).

The Catechism of the Catholic Church says:

The division and numbering of the Commandments have varied in the course of history. The present catechism follows the division of the Commandments established by St. Augustine, which has become traditional in the Catholic Church. It is also that of the Lutheran confessions. The Greek Fathers worked out a slightly different division, which is found in the Orthodox Churches and Reformed communities. (CCC 2066)

Latin Rite Catholic version:

1. Thou shalt not have strange Gods before me and Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image.
2. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord your God in Vain.
3. Remember to keep holy the Lord’s day
4. Honor thy father and thy mother
5. Thou shalt not kill
6. Thou shalt not commit adultery
7. Thou shalt not steal
8. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor
9. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife
10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s goods

Eastern Catholic and Protestant version:

1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me
2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image
3. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain
4. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy
5. Honor thy father and thy mother
6. Thou shalt not kill
7. Thou shalt not commit adultery
8. Thou shalt not steal
9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor
10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife and Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s goods.


For Catholics, Commandments 1, 2 and 3 are about our relationship with God (Love of God) and 4-10 are about our relationship with others (Love of Neighbor).

Answer 5

the real commandments are given by Jesus. Love God with your whole heart and soul and love your neighbor as yourself.

Answer 6

The 10 Commandments are in Exodus 20:1-17.

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."

(similar is Rev.14:7; JOHN 4:22-24; SABBATH IS SATURDAY)
