THE LAW OF GOD
Exo. 20, 3-17
THE LAW OF GOD APPROVED by THE POPE
|
1.
Thou shalt have no other gods before Me.
| 1.
I am the Lord thy God, Thou shalt not have strange gods before Me.
|
2.
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me, and shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
| 2.
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.
Note: The commandment against graven images has been removed. This is really the 3rd commandment of God's Law.
3.
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
| 3.
Remember that thou keep holy the Sabbath day.
4.
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour and do all thy work: but the Seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou nor thy dauther, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day. Wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.
| 4.
Honour thy father and thy mother.
5.
Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbour's.
| 10.
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's goods.
Note: The real 10th commandment of God has been split into two
parts to replace the missing 2nd commandment. | | | | | | | | |
