The 10 Commandments
1. "You shall have not other gods before Me."
2. "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 3rd and 4th generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments."
3. "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.
4. "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor you daughter,nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle,nor your stranger who is with 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.
5. "Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you."
6. "You shall not murder."
7. "You shall not commit adultery."
8. "You shall not steal."
9. "You shall not bear false witness against you neighbor."
10. "You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not
covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his ox,
nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's."
Jesus now calls us to a higher moral plane, He exhorts us to see the Kingdom of Heaven on earth by us comforming to these moral truths. The heart of the Law, written not by man, but by the hand of God on our hearts. Renewed in our minds, so that we may conform to the image of His Son, Jesus Christ.
The Beatitudes
Luke 6:20-38
20. And turning His gaze toward His disciples, He began to say, “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.
21. “Blessed are you who hunger now, for you shall be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh.
22. “Blessed are you when men hate you, and ostracize you, and insult you, and scorn your name as evil, for the sake of the Son of Man.
23. “Be glad in that day and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven. For in the same way their fathers used to treat the prophets.
24. “But woe to you who are rich, for you are receiving your comfort in full.
25. “Woe to you who are well-fed now, for you shall be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep.
26. “Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for their fathers used to treat the false prophets in the same way.
27. “But I say to you who hear, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
28. "bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you".
29. “Whoever hits you on the cheek, offer him the other also; and whoever takes away your coat, do not withhold your shirt from him either.
30. “Give to everyone who asks of you, and whoever takes away what is yours, do not demand it back.
31. “Treat others the same way you want them to treat you.
32. “If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.
33. “If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.
34. “If you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners in order to receive back the same amount.
35. “But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He Himself is kind to ungrateful and evil men.
36. “Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
37. “Do not judge, and you will not be judged; and do not condemn, and you will not be condemned; pardon, and you will be pardoned.
38. “Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure—pressed down, shaken together, and running over. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return.”
