Then
God spoke all these words: 2 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of
Egypt, out of the house of slavery; 3 you shall have no other gods before me. 4 You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the
form of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or
that is in the water under the earth.
5 You shall not bow down to them or
worship them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing children
for the iniquity of parents, to the third and the fourth generation of those
who reject me,
6 but
showing steadfast love to the thousandth generation of those who love me and
keep my commandments. 7 You shall not make wrongful use of the name of the Lord
your God, for the Lord will not acquit anyone who misuses his name. 8 Remember the
sabbath day, and keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work. 10 But the seventh day
is a sabbath to the Lord your God; you shall not do any work—you, your son or
your daughter, your male or female slave, your livestock, or the alien
resident in your towns. 11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea,
and all that is in them, but rested the seventh day; therefore the Lord
blessed the sabbath day and consecrated it. 12 Honor your father
and your mother, so that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your
God is giving you. 13 You shall not murder. 14 You shall not commit adultery. 15 You shall not steal.
16 You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
17 You
shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s
wife, or male or female slave, or ox, or donkey, or anything that belongs to
your neighbor.

John 3:16-21 16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,F that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.G 19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. 21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God."H
