1. I  am  the  Lord  thy  God,  who  brought  thee  out  of the  land  of  Egypt,  and  out  of  the  house  of  bondage. Thou shalt  not  have  strange  gods  before  me. Thou shalt not make  to  thyself  a  graven  thing,  nor  the  likeness  of any  thing  that  is  in  heaven  above,  or  in  the  earth  beneath, nor  of  those  things  that  are  in  the  waters  under the earth. Thou shalt  not  adore  them,  nor  serve  them: I am  the  Lord  thy  God,  mighty,  jealous,  visiting  the iniquity of  fathers  upon  their  children,  unto  the  third and fourth  generation  of  those  that  hate  me;  and  shewing mercy  unto  thousands  of  those  that  love  me,  and keep my  commandments.

2. Thou  shalt  not  take  the  name  of  the  Lord  thy  God in vain;  for  the  Lord  will  not  hold  him  guiltless  that shall take  the  name  of  the  Lord  his  God  in  vain.

3. Remember  that  thou  keep  holy  the  Sabbath-day. Six days  shalt  thou  labour,  and  shalt  do  all  thy  works; but on  the  seventh  day  is  the  Sabbath  of  the  Lord  thy God: thou  shalt  do  no  work  on  it,  thou,  nor  thy  son,  nor thy daughter,  nor  thy  man-servant,  nor  thy  maid-servant, nor thy  beast,  nor  the  stranger  that  is  within  thy  gates. For in  six  days  the  Lord  made  heaven  and  earth,  and the sea,  and  all  things  that  are  in  them,  and  rested  on the  seventh  day;  therefore  the  Lord  blessed  the  seventh day, and  sanctified  it.

4. Honour  thy  father  and  thy  mother,  that  thou  mayest be long-lived  upon  the  land  which  the  Lord  thy  God  will give thee.

5. Thou  shalt  not  kill.

6. Thou  shalt  not  commit  adultery.

7. Thou  shalt  not  steal.

8. Thou shalt  not  bear  false  witness  against  thy  neighbor.
