You shall not worship them or serve them \u2013 Exodus 20 verse 4-5<\/p>\n<p>3) You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain \u2013 Exodus 20 verse 7<\/p>\n<p>4) Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. \u2013 Exodus 20 verse 7<\/p>\n<p>5) Honor your father and your mother \u2013 Exodus 20 verse 12<\/p>\n<p>6) You shall not murder. \u2013 Exodus 20 verse 13<br \/>\nBut I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court;<br \/>\nand whoever says to his brother, \u2018You good-for-nothing,\u2019 shall be guilty before the supreme court;<br \/>\nand whoever says, \u2018You fool,\u2019 shall be guilty enough to go into the fiery hell.<br \/>\nTherefore if you are presenting your offering at the altar,<br \/>\nand there remember that your brother has something against you,<br \/>\nleave your offering there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother,<br \/>\nand then come and present your offering.<br \/>\nMake friends quickly with your opponent at law while you are with him on the way,<br \/>\nso that your opponent may not hand you over to the judge,<br \/>\nand the judge to the officer, and you be thrown into prison.<br \/>\nTruly I say to you, you will not come out of there until you have paid up the last cent. \u2013 Matthew 5:21-26<\/p>\n<p>7) You shall not commit adultery. \u2013 Exodus 20 verse 14<br \/>\nbut I say to you, that everyone who looks on a woman to lust for her has committed adultery with her already in his heart. \u2013 Matthew 5:28<br \/>\nAnd I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.<br \/>\n\u2013 Matthew 19:9<\/p>\n<p>8) You shall not steal. \u2013 Exodus 20 verse 15<br \/>\nYour riches have rotted and your garments have become moth-eaten.

Behold, the pay of the laborers who mowed your fields, and which has been withheld by you, cries out against you; and the outcry of those who did the harvesting has reached the ears of the Lord of Hosts. You have lived luxuriously on the earth and led a life of wanton pleasure; you have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter. \u2013 James 5:2-5<\/p>\n<p>9) You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. \u2013 Exodus 20 verse 16<\/p>\n<p>10) You shall not covet your neighbor\u2019s house; you shall not covet your neighbor\u2019s wife or his male servant or his female servant or his ox or his donkey or anything that belongs to your neighbor.
