|---|---|
| Thou shall have No Other Gods | 3"You shall have no other gods before me. |
| Thou shall not make Graven Images | 4"You shall not make for yourself a graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; 5you shall not bow down to them or serve them; for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, 6but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments. |
| Thou shalt not Take the Name of the Lord in Vain | 7"You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain. |
