Ten Commandments
Exodus 20:2–17
2 I am the Lord your God, who brought you up out of the land of
Egypt, out of the house of slavery;
3 Do not have any other gods before me.
4 You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of
anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water
under the earth.
5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I the Lord
your God am a jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of parents, to the third
and the fourth generation of those who reject me,
6 but showing steadfast love to the thousandth generation of those
who love me and keep my commandments.
7 You shall not make wrongful use of the name of the Lord your God,
for the Lord will not acquit anyone who misuses his name.
8 Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy.
9 For six days you shall labour and do all your work.
10 But the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God; you shall
not do any work—you, your son or your daughter, your male or female slave, your
livestock, or the alien resident in your towns.
11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all
that is in them, but rested the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day
and consecrated it.
12 Honor your father and your mother, so that your days may be long
in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.
13 You shall not kill/murder.
14 You shall not commit adultery.
15 You shall not steal.
16 You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
17 You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not
covet your neighbor’s wife, or male or female slave, or ox, or donkey, or anything
that belongs to your neighbor.

Matthew 6:9-13
Lord's Prayer
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread,
and forgive us the wrong we have done
as we forgive those who wrong us.
Subject us not to the trial
but deliver us from the evil one. |
