THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
2. 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
hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my
commandments.
3. 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.
4. 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, and hallowed it.
u Thou shalt love
the Lord thy God with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
(We do this by keeping Commandments 1 through 4)
5. Honour thy father and
thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God
giveth thee.
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 neighbour.
10. 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.
u Thou shalt love
thy neighbour as thyself.
(We do this by keeping Commandments 4 through 10)
THE TWO GREAT COMMANDMENTS
Matthew 22:35-40
35. Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him
a question, tempting him, and saying,
36. Master, which is the great commandment in
the law?
37. Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love
the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy
mind.
38. This is the first and great commandment.
39. And the second is like unto
it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40.
On these two commandments hang
all the law and the prophets.
