3.
“Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not
hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.” (Ex 20:7)
4.
“Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy
work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do
any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant,
nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made
heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore
the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.” (Ex 20:8-11)
5.
“Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the
LORD thy God giveth thee.” (Ex 20:12)
6.
“Thou shalt not kill.” (Ex 20:13)
7.
“Thou shalt not commit adultery.” (Ex 20:14)
8.
“Thou shalt not steal.” (Ex 20:15)
9.
“Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.” (Ex 20:16)
10.
“Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s
wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing
that is thy neighbour’s.” (Ex 20:17)
The books of Exodus, Leviticus and Deuteronomy give deeper instruction in God's law.
These books give deeper instruction in many areas including what limitations God has placed on
the sexual behavior of men and women. In Leviticus 18:20 we are instructed that homosexuality
is a sin (see also Romans 1:26-32 and 1 Corinthians 6:9-11). These books also condemn all
occult practices such as witchcraft, wizardry, sorcery, spell casting, magic, fortune telling,
astrology, charms (such as good luck) channeling and necromancy (Deuteronomy 18:9-14).

God promises that when we come into a covenant relationship with Him, He will place
his law in our heart and minds. King David writes: “I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy
law is within my heart.” (Psalm 40:8)
Paul writes: “This is the covenant that I will make with
them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will
I write them; And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.”
(Hebrews 10:16-17) Under
the New Covenant Jesus taught us that the law covers not only our actions but our thoughts and
desires. He stated:
Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and
whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: But I say unto you, That
whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the
judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, [a term used to demean
or insult another] shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou
fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.... Ye have heard that it was said by them of
old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say unto you, That whosoever
looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in
his heart. (Matthew 5:21-22 and 27-28)
