Exodus 20:3-17 

 

1. You must not have any other Gods before Me (He is to be your only God)

2. You must not make for yourselves an idol before Me (anything that is more important than God Himself is an idol)

3. You must not misuse the name of the LORD your God (either as a cuss word, or just used as a joke)

4. Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy (have at least 1 day a week used to worship Him)

5. Honor your father and your mother

6. You must not murder

7. You must not commit adultery (physically or with lust in your heart - in Matthew 5:27-28, He said, "“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery’; 28 but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.")

8. You must not steal (this means anything)

9. You must not give false testimony (do not lie)

10. You must not covet (want something that belongs to someone else)
