New Testament

Deuteronomy 5:9-15 God's Word Translation (GW)

9. Never worship them or serve them, because I, the Lord your God, am a God who does not tolerate rivals. I punish children for their parents’ sins to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me.

10. But I show mercy to thousands of generations of those who love me and obey my commandments.

11. “Never use the name of the Lord your God carelessly. The Lord will make sure that anyone who uses his name carelessly will be punished.

12. “Observe the day of worship as a holy day. This is what the Lord your God has commanded you.

13. You have six days to do all your work.

14. The seventh day is the day of worship dedicated to the Lord your God. You, your sons, your daughters, your male and female slaves, your oxen, your donkeys—all of your animals—even the foreigners living in your city must never do any work ⌊on that day⌋. In this way your male and female slaves can rest as you do.

15. Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and that the Lord your God used his mighty hand and powerful arm to bring you out of there. This is why the Lord your God has commanded you to observe the day of worship.
