Exodus 16:28
28 And the LORD said to
Moses, “How long do you refuse to keep My
commandments and My
laws?
Exodus 24:12
12 Then the LORD said to
Moses, “Come up to Me on the mountain and be
there; and I will give you tablets of stone, and
the law and commandments which I have written,
that you may teach them.”
Exodus 34:28
28 So he was there with
the LORD forty days and forty nights; he neither
ate bread nor drank water. And He wrote on the
tablets the words of the covenant, the Ten
Commandments.
Exodus 20
The Ten Commandments
1 And God spoke all these
words, saying:
2 “I
am the LORD your God, who brought you out
of the land of Egypt, out of the house of
bondage.
3 “You
shall have no other gods before
Me.
4 “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;
5 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, 6 but showing mercy to
thousands, to those who love Me and keep My
commandments.
7 “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.
8 “
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 Six days you shall
labor and do all your work,
10 but the seventh day
is the Sabbath 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.
11 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.
12 “ Honor your father
and your mother, that your days may be long upon
the land which 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, nor his male servant, nor his
female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor
anything that is your
neighbor’s.”
18 Now all the people
witnessed the thunderings, the lightning
flashes, the sound of the trumpet, and the
mountain smoking; and when the people saw
it, they trembled and stood afar off.
19 Then they said to
Moses, “You speak with us, and we will hear; but
let not God speak with us, lest we die.”
20 And
Moses said to the people, “Do not fear; for God
has come to test you, and that His fear may be
before you, so that you may not sin.”
21 So the people stood
afar off, but Moses drew near the thick darkness
where God
was.
22 Then the LORD said to
Moses, “Thus you shall say to the children of
Israel: ‘You have seen that I have talked with
you from heaven.
23 You shall not make
anything to be with Me—gods of silver or
gods of gold you shall not make for yourselves.
24 An altar of earth you
shall make for Me, and you shall sacrifice on it
your burnt offerings and your peace offerings,
your sheep and your oxen. In every place where I
record My name I will come to you, and I will
bless you.
25 And if you make Me an
altar of stone, you shall not build it of hewn
stone; for if you use your tool on it, you have
profaned it.
26 Nor shall you go up by steps
to My altar, that your nakedness may not be
exposed on
it.’
(Deuteronomy 11:26-28
KJV)
(26) Behold, I set before you this day a
blessing and a curse; (27) A blessing, if ye
obey the commandments of the Lord your God,
which I command you this day: (28) And a curse,
if ye will not obey the commandments of the Lord
your God, but turn aside out of the way which I
command you this day, to go after other Gods,
which ye have not known.
(1 Samuel 15:22
KJV)
(22) And Samuel said, Hath the Lord {as
great} delight in burnt offerings and
sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord?
Behold, to obey {is} better than sacrifice,
{and} to hearken than the fat of rams.
(Isaiah 48:18 KJV)
(18) O that thou
hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy
peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as
the waves of the sea:
(Jeremiah 7:23
KJV)
(23) But this thing commanded I them,
saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God,
and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all
the ways that I have commanded you, that it may
be well unto you.
(John 14:15,21
KJV)
(15) If ye love me, keep my
commandments. (21) He that hath my commandments,
and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and
he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father,
and I will love him, and will manifest myself to
him.
(Acts 5:29 KJV)
(29) Then Peter
and the {other} apostles answered and said, We
ought to obey God rather than men.
(1
John 2:3-6 KJV)
(3) And hereby we do know
that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
(4) He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not
his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is
not in him. (5) But whoso keepeth his word, in
him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby
know we that we are in him. (6) He that saith he
abideth in him ought himself also so to walk,
even as he walked.
(1 Kings 3:14
KJV)
(14) And if thou wilt walk in my ways,
to keep my statutes and my commandments, as thy
father David did walk, then I will lengthen thy
days.
(Psalms 143:10 KJV)
(10) Teach
me to do thy will; for thou {art} my God: thy
spirit {is} good; lead me into the land of
uprightness.
(Deuteronomy 5:1,32,33
KJV)
(1) And Moses called all Israel, and
said unto them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and
judgments which I speak in your ears this day,
that ye may learn them, and keep, and do them.
(32) Ye shall observe to do therefore as the
Lord your God hath commanded you: ye shall not
turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
(33) Ye shall walk in all the ways which the
Lord your God hath commanded you, that ye may
live, and {that it may be} well with you, and
{that} ye may prolong {your} days in the land
which ye shall possess.
(Colossians
3:22-24 KJV)
(22) Servants, obey in all
things {your} masters according to the flesh;
not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in
singleness of heart, fearing God: (23) And
whatsoever ye do, do {it} heartily, as to the
Lord, and not unto men; (24) Knowing that of the
Lord ye shall receive the reward of the
inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.
(1 Peter 2:13-20 KJV)
(13) Submit
yourselves to every ordinance of man for the
Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as
supreme; (14) Or unto governors, as unto them
that are sent by him for the punishment of
evildoers, and for the praise of them that do
well. (15) For so is the will of God, that with
well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance
of foolish men: (16) As free, and not using
{your} liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but
as the servants of God. (17) Honour all {men}.
Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
(18) Servants, {be} subject to {your} masters
with all fear; not only to the good and gentle,
but also to the froward. (19) For this {is}
thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God
endure grief, suffering wrongfully. (20) For
what glory {is it}, if, when ye be buffeted for
your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if,
when ye do well, and suffer {for it}, ye take it
patiently, this {is} acceptable with God.
(Ephesians 6:1 KJV)
(1) Children,
obey your parents in the Lord: for this is
right.
(Colossians 3:20-24 KJV)
(20)
Children, obey {your} parents in all things: for
this is well pleasing unto the Lord. (21)
Fathers, provoke not your children {to anger},
lest they be discouraged. (22) Servants, obey in
all things {your} masters according to the
flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but
in singleness of heart, fearing God: (23) And whatsoever ye do, do
{it} heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
(24) Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive
the reward of the inheritance: for ye
serve the Lord Christ.
The Greatest Commandment
Matthew 22:36-40
36 Master, which is the great commandment
in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him,
Thou shalt love he Lord thy God with all thy
heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy
mind. 38 This is the first and great
commandment. 39 And the second is like
unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as
thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the
law and the
prophets
