The Ten Commandments are a set of biblical principles relating to ethics and worship, which play a fundamental role in Judaism and Christianity. They are found in the books of Exodus (20:1-17) and Deuteronomy (5:4-21) in the Bible. Here is a commonly used version of the Ten Commandments:
- You shall have no other gods before Me.
- You shall not make for yourself a carved image.
- You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.
- Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
- Honor your father and your mother.
- You shall not murder.
- You shall not commit adultery.
- You shall not steal.
- You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
- You shall not covet.
These commandments serve as a moral foundation for many believers and are often referenced in discussions about ethics, morality, and religious practice.
