Deuteronomy 5:6-21

Deuteronomy 5:6-21 FBV

“I am the Lord your God, who led you out of Egypt, out of the prison-house of slavery. You must not have any other gods except me. You must not make for yourself any kind of idol, whether in the form of anything in the heavens above, or on the earth beneath, or in the waters below. You must not bow down before them or worship them; for I am the Lord your God and I am passionately exclusive. I lay the consequences of the sin of those who hate me on their sons, grandsons, and great-grandsons; but I show trustworthy love to the thousands of generations who love me and keep my commandments. You must not use the name of the Lord your God in a wrong way, for the Lord will not forgive anyone who uses his name in a wrong way. Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy, as the Lord your God commanded you to do. You have six days to work and earn your living, but the seventh day is the Sabbath to honor the Lord your God. On this day you must not do any work—not you, not your son or daughter, not your male slave or female slave or your ox or donkey or any of your livestock, and not the foreigner who is staying with you, so that your male slave and female slave can have the same rest as you. Remember that you were once slaves in Egypt, and that the Lord your God led you out from there with his great power and incredible strength. This is why the Lord your God has ordered you to keep the Sabbath day. Honor your father and your mother, as the Lord your God has commanded you to do, so that you may live a long time and do well in the land that the Lord your God is giving you. You must not kill people. You must not commit adultery. You must not steal. You must not give false evidence against others. You must not desire to have anyone else's wife. You must not desire to have their house or field, or their male slave or female slave, or their ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to them.”
