2I [am] the LORD thy God, who have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.Select Exodus 20:2

3Thou shalt have no other gods before me.Select Exodus 20:3

4Thou shalt not make to 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:Select Exodus 20:4

5Thou 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 to the third and fourth [generation] of them that hate me;Select Exodus 20:5

6And showing mercy to thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.Select Exodus 20:6

7Thou 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.Select Exodus 20:7

8Remember the sabbath-day to keep it holy.Select Exodus 20:8

9Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work:Select Exodus 20:9

10But 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:Select Exodus 20:10

11For [in] six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that [is] in them, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath-day, and hallowed it.Select Exodus 20:11

12Honor thy father and thy mother; that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.Select Exodus 20:12

13Thou shalt not kill.Select Exodus 20:13

14Thou shalt not commit adultery.Select Exodus 20:14

15Thou shalt not steal.Select Exodus 20:15

16Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.Select Exodus 20:16

17Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that [is] thy neighbor's.Select Exodus 20:17

18And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw [it], they removed, and stood afar off.Select Exodus 20:18

19And they said to Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.Select Exodus 20:19

20And Moses said to the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.Select Exodus 20:20

21And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near to the thick darkness where God [was].Select Exodus 20:21

22And the LORD said to Moses, Thus thou shalt say to the children of Israel; Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.Select Exodus 20:22

23Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make to you gods of gold.Select Exodus 20:23

24An altar of earth thou shalt make to me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt-offerings, and thy peace-offerings, thy sheep, and thy oxen: in all places where I record my name I will come to thee, and I will bless thee.Select Exodus 20:24

25And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou [shalt] lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.Select Exodus 20:25

26Neither shalt thou go up by steps to my altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon.Select Exodus 20:26
