| Thou shalt have no other gods before me. | I am the Lord thy God: thou shalt not have strange gods before Me. |
| II | |
| Thou shalt not make unto thee
any graven image, or any likeness
of anything 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 showing
mercy unto thousands of them
that love Me, and keep My commandments. | |
| III | II |
| 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. | Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain. |
| IV | III |
| Remember the Sabbath day, to
keep it holy. Six days shalt thou
labor, 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 son, nor thy daughter, thy
man servant, nor thy maid servant,
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. | Remember that thou keep holy the Sabbath day. |
| V | IV |
| Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be
long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. | Honor thy father and thy mother. |

thy neighbor's wife, nor his man
servant, nor his maid servant,
nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything
that is thy neighbor's. | Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife. |
| X |
