Exodus 20:1-17
The Ten Commandments

1 And God spake all these words, saying,

1:

2 I [am] the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

2:

3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

3:

4 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:

4:

5 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;

5:

6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

6:

7 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.

7:

8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

8:

9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:

9:

10 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:

10:

11 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.

11:

12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

12:

13 Thou shalt not kill.

13:

14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.

14:

15 Thou shalt not steal.

15:

16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

16:

17 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.

17:
