Exodus 20:6-14 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

6. But if you love me and obey my laws, I will be kind to your families for thousands of generations.

7. Do not misuse my name. I am the Lord your God, and I will punish anyone who misuses my name.

8. Remember that the Sabbath Day belongs to me.

9. You have six days when you can do your work,

10. but the seventh day of each week belongs to me, your God. No one is to work on that day—not you, your children, your slaves, your animals, or the foreigners who live in your towns.

11. In six days I made the sky, the earth, the seas, and everything in them, but on the seventh day I rested. That's why I made the Sabbath a special day that belongs to me.

12. Respect your father and your mother, and you will live a long time in the land I am giving you.

13. Do not murder.

14. Be faithful in marriage.
