New Testament

Exodus 20:8-19 English Standard Version (ESV)

8. “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.

9. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work,

10. but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates.

11. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

12. “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.

13. “You shall not murder.

14. “You shall not commit adultery.

15. “You shall not steal.

16. “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

17. “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor’s.”

18. Now when all the people saw the thunder and the flashes of lightning and the sound of the trumpet and the mountain smoking, the people were afraid and trembled, and they stood far off

19. and said to Moses, “You speak to us, and we will listen; but do not let God speak to us, lest we die.”
