Exodus 20

Exodus 20:5

For I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquities of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me.

I am so affected to you my people, as a loving husband to his wife, whom he cannot endure to set her affections upon any other; where I see, therefore, a succession of iniquity from the fathers to children, both which hate to be reformed, I punish it not only eternally in themselves, but temporally in many generations after them.

Exodus 20:12

Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

Honour those, which are any way set over thee, and give them due reverence and obedience, for conscience sake; that God may give thee a long and happy life, in this thy promised land upon earth, and an eternal life, figured by the other, in that true land of rest, which is above.

Exodus 20:17

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, &c.

Thou shalt not entertain so much as the very first motions of unlawful desires, towards ought that is thy neighbour’s, &c. but shalt rest well contented with thy own.

Exodus 20:23

Ye shall not make with me gods of silver.

You shall not make, in competition with me, gods of silver, &c.
