The Ten Commandments


The Ten Commandments

The Two Great Commandments

And one of them, a doctor of the Law, putting him to the test, asked him, "Master, which is the great commandment in the Law?"  Jesus said to him, "'Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind.'  This is the greatest and the first commandment.  And the second is like it, 'Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself'"  On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets."  (Matthew 22:33-40)

The Ten Commandments

(1)  I, the Lord, am your God.  You shall not have other gods besides me.
(2)  You shall not take the name of the Lord God in vain
(3)  Remember to keep holy the Lord's Day
(4)  Honor your father and your mother
(5)  You shall not kill
(6)  You shall not commit adultery
(7)  You shall not steal
(8)  You shall not bear false witness
(9)  You shall not covet your neighbor's wife
(10) You shall not covet your neighbor's goods
