NOTE: This is a prohibition against private killing, not against killing in war or as punishment for breaking the law. (Based on Exodus 20:1-17, restated in Deuteronomy 5:6-22.) The Lord Jesus Christ did not specifically restate commandments 2, 3, 4 or 10, but it was understood that He endorsed and followed all of the Ten Commandments.Ģ I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.ģ Thou shalt have no other gods before me.Ĥ Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:ĥ 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 Ħ And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.ħ 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.Ĩ Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.ĩ Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:ġ0 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 manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:ġ1 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, an rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.ġ2 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.ġ3 Thou shalt not kill.” (Exodus 20:1-17) Take one day of complete rest each week, in honor of God.ġ0. Do not put anything ahead of God your Creator.Ĥ. Here is the modern restatement of The Ten Commandments. Most of The Law of the Old Covenant no longer applies to Christians under the New Covenant (See Hebrews 8:13, etc.) However, the Ten Commandments still apply, because they were ratified by The Lord Jesus Christ in Mark 10:19 and Luke 18:20 when He said, "You know the commandments." The Ten Commandments are given in two different places in the Bible, once in Exodus 20:1-17 and once in Deuteronomy 5:6-22. The people of Israel placed The Ten Commandments first, separate and distinct above all others. However, one group of commandments is very special, and it is known as "the commandments." That is the Ten Commandments, dictated by God, written in stone, and given to all people forever. Collectively, these make up "the Law" of the Old Covenant. ![]() Throughout the Old Testament, there are hundreds of "commandments" covering all parts of life. ![]() On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.” ( Matthew 22:39- 40) "And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. This is the first and great commandment." ( Matthew 22:37- 38) "Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. The idea of all people as neighbors is explained in Luke 10:29-37) Then, love all other people the same as you love yourself." (Based on Matthew 22:35-40, restated in Mark 12:28-31 and Luke 10:25-28. "First, love God your Creator more than anything else. There are three parts to the Universal Moral Law: This law now applies to all people in all situations. This is the Universal Moral Law regarding your relationship with your Creator and with all other people on Earth. The list of all the Commandments which The Lord Jesus Christ taught His disciples to observe, as recorded in the four Gospels are organized into two groups: the Universal Moral Law, and the Other Commandments. This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.” (John15:9-12) To “love one another" means "love all people," not just "love other Christians. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. ![]() “As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.” If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. ![]() Here is the way He arrived at this one summary verse. “This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.” ( John 15:12) Amen." ( Matthew 28:19- 20) The Summary of All The Commandments "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.
