“What good thing shall I do to obtain eternal life?” “If you wish to enter into life, keep the Commandments.”
Christ through His divine example in His own life as well as His ministry and teaching attested to the lasting credibility and validity of the Ten Commandments.
The Decalogue is a sacred formulation that is a natural part of law. It is made available to us through divine revelation as well as by human reasoning.
- I am the Lord your God. You shall not have strange gods before me. You shall not make to thyself any graven thing; nor the likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or in the earth beneath, nor of those things that are in the waters under the earth. You shall not adore them nor serve them.
- You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.
- Remember to keep holy the Sabbath day.
- Honor your father and your mother.
- You shall not kill.
- You shall not commit adultery.
- You shall not steal.
- You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
- You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife.
- You shall not covet your neighbor’s goods.
