It is no longer possible to view the Ten
Commandments in most public places. This is one
public place where it is still legal to view them,
so here they are.


And God spoke all these words saying: "I am the
Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of
Egypt, out of the house of bondage
"You shall have no other Gods before Me."
"You shall not make for yourself a carved image-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; you shall not bow down to
them nor 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 fourth
generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy
to thousands, to those who love me and keep My
commandments."
"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"
"Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days
you shall labor and do all your work, but the
seventh is the Sabbath day of the Lord your God. In
it you shall do no work: you , nor your son, nor
your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your
female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger
who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord
made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all
that is in them, and rested the seventh day.
Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and
hallowed it."
"Honor your father and mother, that your days may be
long on the land which the Lord your God is giving
you."
"You shall not murder."
"You shall not commit adultery."
"You shall not steal."
"You shall not bear false witness against your
neighbor."
"You shall not covet your neighbors House; you shall
not covet your neighbors wife, nor his male servant,
nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey,
nor anything that is your neighbors."
Exodus 20
In the New Testament, Jesus summed all of these
commandments into two commandments.
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy
God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and
with all thy mind.
This is the first and great commandment.
And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love
thy neighbour as thyself.
On these two commandments hang all the law and the
prophets. Matthew 22:37-40
