Summarized by Jesus into two “Great Commandments” that teach love of God and love of neighbor, they instruct individuals on their relationships with both. The first three commandments require reverence and respect for God’s name, observation of the Lord’s Day and prohibit the worship of other gods.

A pillar of the Catholic set of laws is its understanding of natural moral law, which addresses laws that aren’t written but nevertheless known by all men and women who have the use of reason. It uses basic common sense, prudence, and justice.

The Ten Commandments are the foundation of a moral code by which Christians are to live. Following these precepts will not harm anyone and encourage believers to love and serve God and others. “Perfect” may not be the best descriptor, but they do serve as the basis for the Christian moral code.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The Fourth Commandment of the Ten Commandments may refer to: “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy”, under the Philonic division used by Hellenistic Jews, Greek Orthodox and Protestants except Lutherans, or the Talmudic division of the third-century Jewish Talmud.

Ten Commandments

• I am the LORD thy God.
• No other gods before me.
• No graven images or likenesses.
• Not take the LORD’s name in vain.
• Remember the sabbath day.
• Honour thy father and thy mother.
• Thou shalt not kill.
• Thou shalt not commit adultery.

The import of honouring father and mother is based on the divine origin of the parental role: The divine fatherhood is the source of human fatherhood. (Ephesians 3:14) This is the foundation of the honour owed to parents. It is required by God’s commandment.

Biblical Hebrew

‘Honor your father and mother’—this is the first commandment with a promise: ‘so that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth’” (Ephesians 6:1–3).

You shan’t covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor. — Exodus 20:17. This commandment, like others, focuses on thought, or man’s heart. It’s an imperative against setting one’s desire on things that are other’s possessions.

Those eager to receive or listen to false testimony were also subject to punishment. False witness is among the six things God hates, king Solomon says. False testimony is among the things that defile a person, Jesus says. The lying witness is a deceitful man, who mocks at justice.
