9 Bible Verses about Law, Ten Commandments

Do not become idolaters, as some of them became. Scripture says-'The people sat down to eat and drink, and stood up to dance.'

Not every one who says to me 'Master! Master!' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in Heaven.

For God said--'Honor thy father and mother,' and 'Let him who reviles his father or mother suffer death,'

Children, obey your parents, as children of the Lord; for that is but right. 'Honor thy father and mother'--this is the first Commandment with a promise--' So that thou mayest prosper and have a long life on earth.'

You have heard that to our ancestors it was said--'Thou shalt not commit murder,' and 'Whoever commits murder shall be liable to answer for it to the Court.'

You have heard that it was said--'Thou shalt not commit adultery.'

Let marriage be honoured by all and the married life be pure; for God will judge those who are immoral and those who commit adultery.

What are we to say, then? That Law and sin are the same thing? Heaven forbid! On the contrary, I should not have learned what sin is, had not it been for Law. If the Law did not say 'Thou shalt not covet,' I should not know what it is to covet.

We know that the Law is spiritual, but I am earthly-sold into slavery to Sin.
