'Commandment' in the Bible

He answered them, “And why do you break God’s commandment because of your tradition?

“Teacher, which command in the law is the greatest?”

This is the greatest and most important command.

But Jesus told them, “He wrote this command for you because of the hardness of your hearts.

One of the scribes approached. When he heard them debating and saw that Jesus answered them well, he asked Him, “Which command is the most important of all?”

“The second is: Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other command greater than these.”

Then they returned and prepared spices and perfumes. And they rested on the Sabbath according to the commandment.

“I give you a new command: Love one another. Just as I have loved you, you must also love one another.

And sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, produced in me coveting of every kind. For apart from the law sin is dead.

Once I was alive apart from the law, but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life

and I died. The commandment that was meant for life resulted in death for me.

For sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me.

Therefore, did what is good cause my death? Absolutely not! On the contrary, sin, in order to be recognized as sin, was producing death in me through what is good, so that through the commandment, sin might become sinful beyond measure.

The commandments:Do not commit adultery;do not murder;do not steal;do not covet;and whatever other commandment—all are summed up by this: Love your neighbor as yourself.

Honor your father and mother, which is the first commandment with a promise,

to keep the command without fault or failure until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The sons of Levi who receive the priestly office have a command according to the law to collect a tenth from the people—that is, from their brothers—though they have also descended from Abraham.

So the previous command is annulled because it was weak and unprofitable

For when every command had been proclaimed by Moses to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and goats, along with water, scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled the scroll itself and all the people,

For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness than, after knowing it, to turn back from the holy command delivered to them.

so that you can remember the words previously spoken by the holy prophets and the command of our Lord and Savior given through your apostles.
