Exodus - ch 20 v 1 - 20
- And God said all these words:
- I am the Lord your God who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the prison-house.
- You are to have no other gods but me.
- You are not to make an image or picture of anything in heaven or on the earth or in the waters under the earth:
- You may not go down on your faces before them or give them worship: for I, the Lord your God, am a God who will not give his honour to another; and I will send punishment on the children for the wrongdoing of their fathers, to the third and fourth generation of my haters;
- And I will have mercy through a thousand generations on those who have love for me and keep my laws.
- You are not to make use of the name of the Lord your God for an evil purpose; whoever takes the Lord's name on his lips for an evil purpose will be judged a sinner by the Lord
- Keep in memory the Sabbath and let it be a holy day.
- On six days do all your work:
- But the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God; on that day you are to do no work, you or your son or your daughter, your man-servant or your woman-servant, your cattle or the man from a strange country who is living among you:
- For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and the sea, and everything in them, and he took his rest on the seventh day: for this reason the Lord has given his blessing to the seventh day and made it holy.
- Give honour to your father and to your mother, so that your life may be long in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
- Do not put anyone to death without cause.
- Do not be false to the married relation.
- Do not take the property of another.
- Do not give false witness against your neighbour.
- Let not your desire be turned to your neighbour's house, or his wife or his man-servant or his woman-servant or his ox or his ass or anything which is his.
- And all the people were watching the thunderings and the flames and the sound of the horn and the mountain smoking; and when they saw it, they kept far off, shaking with fear.
- And they said to Moses, To your words we will give ear, but let not the voice of God come to our ears, for fear death may come on us.
- And Moses said to the people, Have no fear: for God has come to put you to the test, so that fearing him you may be kept from sin.
