1. “You must not tell lies. You might be a witness in court. Don’t help a bad person by telling lies.

2. “You must not do wrong just because everyone else is doing it. You might be a witness in court. Then you must not ruin a fair trial. You must not tell lies just because everyone else is.

3. A poor man might be in court. You must not take his side just because he is poor.

4. “You might see your enemy’s ox or donkey wandering away. Then you must return it to him.
