1. You shall have no other gods before Me.
2. You shall not make for yourself any 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 that 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 you manservant, not your maidservant, nor you cattle, nor your
stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the LORD made the heavens and 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 you 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 house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his
manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor any thing that is thy neighbor’s.
Special Note: The first four commandments specify our relationship with God,
the last six commandments specify our relationship with our fellow man.
