New Century Version

Deuteronomy 5:15-23 New Century Version (NCV)

15. Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and that the Lord your God brought you out of there by his great power and strength. So the Lord your God has commanded you to rest on the Sabbath day.

16. “Honor your father and your mother as the Lord your God has commanded you. Then you will live a long time, and things will go well for you in the land that the Lord your God is going to give you.

17. “You must not murder anyone.

18. “You must not be guilty of adultery.

19. “You must not steal.

20. “You must not tell lies about your neighbor.

21. “You must not want to take your neighbor’s wife. You must not want to take your neighbor’s house or land, his male or female slaves, his ox or his donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”

22. The Lord spoke these commands to all of you on the mountain in a loud voice out of the fire, the cloud, and the deep darkness; he did not say anything else. Then he wrote them on two stone tablets, and he gave them to me.

23. When you heard the voice from the darkness, as the mountain was blazing with fire, all the leaders of your tribes and your elders came to me.
