New Testament

Exodus 20:1-9 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

1. And the Lord spoke all these words:

2. "I am the Lord your God, who led you away from the land of Egypt, out of the house of servitude.

3. You shall not have strange gods before me.

4. You shall not make for yourself a graven image, nor a likeness of anything that is in heaven above or on earth below, nor of those things which are in the waters under the earth.

5. You shall not adore them, nor shall you worship them. I am the Lord your God: strong, zealous, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the sons to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,

6. and showing mercy to thousands of those who love me and keep my precepts.

7. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain. For the Lord will not hold harmless one who takes the name of the Lord his God falsely.

8. Remember that you are to sanctify the day of the Sabbath.

9. For six days, you will work and accomplish all your tasks.
