Exodus 20:3-17
The 10 Commandments
Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make
unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing 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 down thyself
to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous
God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children
unto the third and fourth generation of them that hare me;
And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and
keep my commandments. Thou shalt not take the name of the
Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless
that taketh his name in vain. Remember the sabbath day, to
keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in
it thou shalt not 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 and earth, the sea, and all that in them
is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed
the sabbath day, an hallowed it. Honour thy father and thy
mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the
Lord thy God giveth thee. Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt
not commit adultery. Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not
bear false witness against thy neighbour. Thou shalt not covet
thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's
wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox,
nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
