Exodus 20:1-17 - The Ten Commandments

¹ And God spoke all these words, saying, ² I am LORD thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. ³ Thou shall have no other gods before me. ⁴ Thou shall not make to thee a graven image, nor any likeness [of anything] that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. ⁵ Thou shall not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them, for I, LORD thy God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, upon the third and upon the fourth generation of those who hate me, ⁶ and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments. ⁷ Thou shall not take the name of LORD thy God in vain, for LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain. ⁸ Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. ⁹ Six days thou shall labor, and do all thy work, ¹⁰ but the seventh day is a Sabbath to LORD thy God. Thou shall not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates, ¹¹ for in six days LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore LORD blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it. ¹² Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long in the land which LORD thy God gives thee. ¹³ Thou shall not murder. ¹⁴ Thou shall not commit adultery. ¹⁵ Thou shall not steal. ¹⁶ Thou shall not bear FALSE witness against thy neighbor. ¹⁷ Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's house. Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is thy neighbor's.

⁶ I am LORD thy God who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. ⁷ Thou shall have no other gods before me. ⁸ Thou shall not make to thee a graven image: any likeness that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. ⁹ Thou shall not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them, for I, LORD thy God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the third and upon the fourth generation of those who hate me, ¹⁰ and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments. ¹¹ Thou shall not take the name of LORD thy God in vain, for LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain. ¹² Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, as LORD thy God commanded thee. ¹³ Six days thou shall labor, and do all thy work, ¹⁴ but the seventh day is a Sabbath to LORD thy God: thou shall not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thine ox, nor thy donkey, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger tha ¹⁵ And thou shall remember that thou were a servant in the land of Egypt, and LORD thy God brought thee out from there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm, therefore LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the Sabbath day. ¹⁶ Honor thy father and thy mother, as LORD thy God commanded thee, that thy days may be long, and that it may go well with thee in the land which LORD thy God gives thee. ¹⁷ Thou shall not murder. ¹⁸ Neither shall thou commit adultery. ¹⁹ Neither shall thou steal. ²⁰ Neither shall thou bear FALSE witness against thy neighbor. ²¹ Neither shall thou covet thy neighbor's wife. Neither shall thou desire thy neighbor's house, his field, or his man-servant, or his maid-servant, his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is thy neighbor's.
