Justin Reamer - The Ten Commandments

I am the Lord your God,
Who brought you out of the land of Egypt,
Out of the house of slavery.
You shall not have other gods beside Me.
You shall not make yourself an idol
Or a likeness of anything in the heavens above
Or on the earth below
Or in the waters beneath the earth;
You shall not bow down before them or serve them.
For I, the Lord, your God, am a jealous God,
Inflicting punishment for their ancestors' wickedness
On the children of those who hate Me,
Down to the third and fourth generation of those
Who love and keep My commandments.

You shall not invoke the Name of the Lord,
Your God, in vain. For the Lord will not leave
Unpunished anyone who invokes His Name in vain.
Remember the Sabbath Day- keep it holy. Six days
You may labour, but the seventh day
Is a sabbath of the Lord your God. You shall
Not do any work, either you, your son or your daughter,
Your male or female slave, your work animal,
Or the resident alien withing your gates.
For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth,
The sea and all that is in them;
But on the seventh day, He rested. That is why
The Lord has blessed the sabbath day and made it holy.

Honour your father and your mother,
That you may have a long life in the land the
Lord your God is giving you.
You shall not kill.
You shall not commit adultery.
You shall not steal.
You shall not bear false witness against your neighbour.
You shall not covet your neighbour's house.
You shall not covet your neighbour's wife, his
Male or female slave, his ox or donkey, or anything that
Belongs to your neighbour.

Justin Reamer
