New Testament

Deuteronomy 5:1-12 American Standard Version (ASV)

1. And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and the ordinances which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn them, and observe to do them.

2. Jehovah our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.

3. Jehovah made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day.

4. Jehovah spake with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire,

5. (I stood between Jehovah and you at that time, to show you the word of Jehovah: for ye were afraid because of the fire, and went not up into the mount;) saying,

6. I am Jehovah thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

7. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

8. Thou shalt not make unto thee a graven image, nor any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:

9. thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them; for I, Jehovah, thy God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the third and upon the fourth generation of them that hate me;

10. and showing lovingkindness unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.

11. Thou shalt not take the name of Jehovah thy God in vain: for Jehovah will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

12. Observe the sabbath day, to keep it holy, as Jehovah thy God commanded thee.
