Bible Question:
I'm in search for God's commands and the law, also the same ones as Jesus taught. This maybe a huge task. I would like to know all of the commands and laws that God wishes us to do, and like Jesus said in Matthew, that we shall not even disobey one of the smalles commands. So what I need to know and understand and do my best to take to the heart is all those commands. Can someone post all of the passages for them, or tell me them in toda's language and give the passages along with them? Thank you very much. |
Bible Answer: The Ten Commandments Previously I posted the Ten Commandments from the English Standard Version. Now I quote them, as you requested, in today's language, i.e. from the New Living Translation. The Ten Commandments Exodus 20:1-17 New Living Translation (NLT) 1 Then God instructed the people as follows: 2 "I am the LORD your God, who rescued you from slavery in Egypt. 3 "Do not worship any other gods besides me. 4 "Do not make idols of any kind, whether in the shape of birds or animals or fish. 5 You must never worship or bow down to them, for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God who will not share your affection with any other god! I do not leave unpunished the sins of those who hate me, but I punish the children for the sins of their parents to the third and fourth generations. 6 But I lavish my love on those who love me and obey my commands, even for a thousand generations. 7 "Do not misuse the name of the LORD your God. The LORD will not let you go unpunished if you misuse his name. 8"Remember to observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. 9 Six days a week are set apart for your daily duties and regular work, 10 but the seventh day is a day of rest dedicated to the LORD your God. On that day no one in your household may do any kind of work. This includes you, your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, your livestock, and any foreigners living among you. 11 For in six days the LORD made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and everything in them; then he rested on the seventh day. That is why the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and set it apart as holy. 12 "Honor your father and mother. Then you will live a long, full life in the land the LORD your God will give you. 13 "Do not murder. 14 "Do not commit adultery. 15 "Do not steal. 16 "Do not testify falsely against your neighbor. 17 "Do not covet your neighbor's house. Do not covet your neighbor's wife, male or female servant, ox or donkey, or anything else your neighbor owns." |
