The Ten Commandments:      Deuteronomy 5:6-21 from The Living Bible 

    ⁷"'Never worship any god but me.

    ⁸"'Never make idols; don't worship images, whether of birds, animals, or fish. ⁹ ₁₀ You shall not bow down to any images nor worship them in any way, for I am the Lord your God. I am a jealous God, and I will bring the curse of a father's sins upon even the third and fourth generation of the children of those who hate me; but I will show kindness to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.

    ¹¹"'You must never use my name to make a vow you don't intend to keep.^a I will not overlook that.

    ¹²"'Keep the Sabbath day holy. This is my command. ¹³Work the other six days, ¹⁴but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God; no work shall be done that day by you or by any of your household—your sons, daughters, servants, oxen, donkeys, or cattle; even foreigners living among you must obey this law. Everybody must rest as you do. ¹⁵Why should you keep the Sabbath? It is because you were slaves in Egypt, and the Lord your God brought you out with a great display of miracles.

    ¹⁶"'Honor your father and mother (remember, this is a commandment of the Lord your God); if you do so, you shall have a long, prosperous life in the land he is giving you.

    ¹⁷"'You must not murder.

    ¹⁸"'You must not commit adultery.

    ¹⁹"'You must not steal.

    ²⁰"'You must not tell lies.

    ²¹"'You must not burn with desire for another man's wife, nor envy him for his home, land, servants, oxen, donkeys, nor anything else he owns.'

    ^a Literally, "You must not utter the name of the Lord your God to misuse it."
