Exodus
20:1-17
The
Ten
Commandments
20:1
And God spoke all these words:
2
"I am the LORD your God, who
brought you out of Egypt, out of
the land of slavery.
3
"You shall have no other gods
before me.
4
"You shall not make for yourself
an idol in the form of anything
in heaven above or on the earth
beneath or in the waters below.
5
You shall not bow down to them or
worship them; for I, the LORD
your God, am a jealous God,
punishing the children for the
sin of the fathers to the third
and fourth generation of those
who hate me,
6
but showing love to a thousand
{generations} of those who love
me and keep my commandments.
7
"You shall not misuse the name of
the LORD your God, for the LORD
will not hold anyone guiltless
who misuses his name.
8
"Remember the Sabbath day by
keeping it holy.
9
Six days you shall labor and do
all your work,
10
but the seventh day is a Sabbath
to the LORD your God. On it you
shall not do any work, neither
you, nor your son or daughter,
nor your manservant or
maidservant, nor your animals,
nor the alien within your gates.
11
For in six days the LORD made the
heavens and the earth, the sea,
and all that is in them, but he
rested on the seventh day.
Therefore the LORD blessed the
Sabbath day and made it holy.
12
"Honor your father and your
mother, so that you may live long
in the land the LORD your God is
giving you.
13
"You shall not murder.
14
"You shall not commit adultery.
15
"You shall not steal.
16
"You shall not give false
testimony against your neighbor.
17
"You shall not covet your
neighbor's house. You shall not
covet your neighbor's wife, or
his manservant or maidservant,
his ox or donkey, or anything
that belongs to your
neighbor."

This
is the Word of the Lord ... It
is meant to change the way
that we think, and the way
that we live.
Commentary
by Bob
Pardue
The
10 Commandments of
God
You know,
The Ten Commandments have been
the topic for discussion and
controversy pretty much ever
since they were handed to us by
God.
I thought
it would be interesting for you
and I to take each commandment
and study to try to better
understand the true
meaning.
Today, I'm
only listing the ten to refresh
(our) memories. If you're
like me, you may not be able to
name all ten without
peeking!
Then, we
will take a look at each
individual commandment and study
its meaning.
So, I hope
you'll enjoy this series of study
and find something you can use in
your walk with God.
Love in
Christ
