New Testament

Deuteronomy 5:4-14 New International Version (NIV)

4. The Lord spoke to you face to face out of the fire on the mountain.

5. (At that time I stood between the Lord and you to declare to you the word of the Lord, because you were afraid of the fire and did not go up the mountain.) And he said:

6. “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.

7. “You shall have no other gods before me.

8. “You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below.

9. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,

10. but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.

11. “You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.

12. “Observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy, as the Lord your God has commanded you.

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

14. but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your ox, your donkey or any of your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns, so that your male and female servants may rest, as you do.
