Jesus said, "thou shalt do no murder, thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not bear false witness, read more.
honour thy father and thy mother: and, thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." the young man answer'd, all these things have I practis'd from my youth: what is it that is further required?
