New Testament Exhortation |
|
First Commandment Matthew 4:10 ...Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him
only shalt thou serve. 1 John 5:21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols.
Amen. |
First Commandment I am the LORD thy God...Thou shalt have no other gods
before me. |
Second Commandment Revelation 9:20 ...they should not worship devils, and idols
of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can
see, nor hear, nor walk: 10:7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it
is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. 10:14
Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry. Romans 2:22 ...thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege? Romans 1:23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image
made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Galatians 5:19-21 Now the works of the flesh are
manifest, which are these... Idolatry...as I have also told you in time past,
that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. |
Second Commandment Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any
likeness above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water
under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them. |
Third Commandment Matthew 6:9 ...Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed
be thy name. Matthew 5:34-35 But I say unto you, Swear not at all;
neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: Nor by the earth; for it is his
footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. |
Third Commandment Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain.
|
Fourth Commandment Though part of the meaning
of Hebrews 4 regarding the rest means a rest from our own work to earn
salvation, the seventh-day is mentioned as remaining and it also says that if
4 For he spake in
a certain place of the seventh day
on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. 5
And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest. 6
Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom
it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief: 7 Again,
he limiteth a certain
day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if
ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts. 8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have
spoken of another day. 9 There remaineth therefore a rest to
the people of God. 10 For he that is entered into his rest, he
also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. 11 Let us labour therefore to enter into
that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. If the Seventh-day Sabbath was nailed to the cross,
Hebrews 4 would be meaningless. But
Hebrews 4 still limits a certain day, the Seventh-day, and if Jesus had given
another day, He would have said so. Also: Mat 24:20 But pray ye that your flight be not in
the winter, neither on the sabbath day: The above verse proves that the Sabbath was still
extant when the Jews fled in A.D. 66. |
Fourth Commandment Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. |
Fifth Commandment Ephesians 6:2 Honour thy father and mother; which is the
first commandment with promise; |
Fifth Commandment Honor thy father and thy mother. |
Sixth Commandment Revelation 21:8 ...murderers...shall have their part in
the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. Galatians 5:19-21 Now the works of the flesh are
manifest, which are these...murders...they which do such things shall not
inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Peter 4:15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, |
Sixth Commandment Thou shalt not kill. |
Seventh Commandment Galatians 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest,
which are these; Adultery... Romans 2:22 Thou that sayest a man should not commit
adultery, dost thou commit adultery?...
13:9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery... |
Seventh Commandment Thou shalt not commit adultery. |
Eighth Commandment 1 Peter 4:15 But let none of you suffer as a...thief... Ephesians 4:28 Let him that stole steal no more... Romans 13:9 ...Thou shalt not steal... Romans 2:21 ...thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?
|
Eighth Commandment Thou shalt not steal. |
Ninth Commandment Revelation 21:8 ...all liars, shall have their part in
the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. Revelation 22:15 For without are...whosoever loveth and
maketh a lie. 1 Timothy 1:9-10 Knowing this, that the law is not made
for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and
for sinners, for unholy and profane, for... liars...and if there be any other
thing that is contrary to sound doctrine; |
Ninth Commandment Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. |
Tenth Commandment Ephesians 5:5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor
unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any
inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Colossians 3:5 Mortify therefore your members which are
upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil
concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry Romans Romans 1:29 Being filled with all unrighteousness...
covetousness... Romans 7:7 ...I had not known sin, but by the law: for I
had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. Romans 13:9 ...Thou shalt not covet... I Corinthians 5:11 But now I have written unto you not to
keep company, if any man that is called a brother be ..covetous...with such an one no not to eat. I Corinthians 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous...shall
inherit the kingdom of God. Ephesians 5:3 ...covetousness, let it not be once named
among you, as becometh
saints; 1 Timothy 3:2-3 A bishop then must be blameless...not
covetous; 2 Timothy 2 Timothy 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own
selves, covetous... Hebrews 13:5 Let your conversation be without
covetousness... |
Tenth Commandment Thou shalt not covet. |
