Deuteronomy 5:1-21

New International Version

The Ten Commandments^(A)

5 Moses summoned all Israel and said:

Hear, Israel, the decrees and laws^(B) I declare in your hearing today. Learn them and be sure to follow them. ²The Lord our God made a covenant^(C) with us at Horeb.^(D) ³It was not with our ancestors^[a] that the Lord made this covenant, but with us,^(E) with all of us who are alive here today.^(F) ⁴The Lord spoke^(G) to you face to face^(H) out of the fire^(I) on the mountain. ⁵(At that time I stood between^(J) the Lord and you to declare to you the word of the Lord, because you were afraid^(K) of the fire and did not go up the mountain.) And he said:

⁶“I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt,^(L) out of the land of slavery.^(M)

⁷“You shall have no other gods before^[b] me.

⁸“You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below.^(N) ⁹You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents^(O) to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,^(P) ¹⁰but showing love to a thousand^(Q) generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.^(R)

¹¹“You shall not misuse the name^(S) of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.^(T)

¹²“Observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy,^(U) as the Lord your God has commanded you. ¹³Six days you shall labor and do all your work, ¹⁴but the seventh day^(V) is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant,^(W) nor your ox, your donkey or any of your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns, so that your male and female servants may rest, as you do.^(X) ¹⁵Remember that you were slaves^(Y) in Egypt and that the Lord your God brought you out of there with a mighty hand^(Z) and an outstretched arm.^(AA) Therefore the Lord your God has commanded you to observe the Sabbath day.

¹⁶“Honor your father^(AB) and your mother,^(AC) as the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live long^(AD) and that it may go well with you in the land the Lord your God is giving you.

¹⁷“You shall not murder.^(AE)

¹⁸“You shall not commit adultery.^(AF)

¹⁹“You shall not steal.^(AG)

²⁰“You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.^(AH)

²¹“You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife. You shall not set your desire on your neighbor’s house or land, his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”^(AI)

Warning Against Unbelief

⁷So, as the Holy Spirit says:^(A)

“Today, if you hear his voice,
⁸    do not harden your hearts^(B)
as you did in the rebellion,
    during the time of testing in the wilderness,
⁹where your ancestors tested and tried me,
    though for forty years they saw what I did.^(C)
¹⁰That is why I was angry with that generation;
    I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray,
    and they have not known my ways.’
¹¹So I declared on oath in my anger,^(D)
    ‘They shall never enter my rest.’ ^(E)”^[a]^(F)

¹²See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.^(G) ¹³But encourage one another daily,^(H) as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.^(I) ¹⁴We have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold^(J) our original conviction firmly to the very end.^(K) ¹⁵As has just been said:

“Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts
as you did in the rebellion.”^[b]^(L)

¹⁶Who were they who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt?^(M) ¹⁷And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies perished in the wilderness?^(N) ¹⁸And to whom did God swear that they would never enter his rest^(O) if not to those who disobeyed?^(P) ¹⁹So we see that they were not able to enter, because of their unbelief.^(Q)
