Old Testament

New Testament

Deuteronomy 5:8-14 New Century Version (NCV)

8. “You must not make for yourselves any idols or anything to worship that looks like something in the sky above or on the earth below or in the water below the land.

9. You must not worship or serve any idol, because I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God. If people sin against me and hate me, I will punish their children, even their grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

10. But I will be very kind for a thousand lifetimes to those who love me and obey my commands.

11. “You must not use the name of the Lord your God thoughtlessly, because the Lord will punish anyone who uses his name in this way.

12. “Keep the Sabbath as a holy day, as the Lord your God has commanded you.

13. You may work and get everything done during six days each week,

14. but the seventh day is a day of rest to honor the Lord your God. On that day no one may do any work: not you, your son or daughter, your male or female slaves, your ox, your donkey, or any of your animals, or the foreigners living in your cities. That way your servants may rest as you do.
