The 10 Commandments can be phrased
in this way:
1 Give God the first place in your life.
2 Don’t love anything more than you love
God.
3 Show respect to everything that’s holy,
particularly God’s name.
4 You need one day of the week free for
rest and for worshipping God.
5 Respect your parents and all who care
for you.
6 Do not kill anyone.
7 Sexual love is special - keep it for the
person you’re married to.
8 Don’t take what isn’t yours.
9 Don’t do people down by spreading lies
about them.
10 Don’t be jealous of what others have.
To God be the glory! Amen.
The 10 Commandments reflect a basic
common-sense way of living. They can
guide us in the short-term and long-term
choices that we need to make for a good
and happy life.
