Exodus 19

   
 ²For they had departed from Rephidim, and had come to the desert of Sinai and had pitched camp in the wilderness; and there Israel camped before the mount.

   
 ³And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of the mountain, saying, "Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel:

   
 ⁴`Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings and brought you unto Myself.

   
 ⁵Now therefore, if ye will obey My voice indeed and keep My covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine.

   
 ⁶And ye shall be unto Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.' These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel."

   
 ⁷And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the LORD commanded him.

   
 ⁸And all the people answered together and said, "All that the LORD hath spoken we will do." And Moses returned the words of the people unto the LORD.

   
 ⁹And the LORD said unto Moses, "Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever." And Moses told the words of the people unto the LORD.

   
 ¹⁰And the LORD said unto Moses, "Go unto the people and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes

   
 ¹¹and be ready against the third day; for the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon Mount Sinai.

   
 ¹²And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, `Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount or touch the border of it. Whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death.

   
 ¹³There shall not a hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live.' When the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount."

   
 ¹⁴And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.

   
 ¹⁵And he said unto the people, "Be ready against the third day. Come not at your wives."

   
 ¹⁶And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud, so that all the people who were in the camp trembled.

   
 ¹⁷And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God, and they stood at the nether part of the mount.

   
 ¹⁸And Mount Sinai was altogether in smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire; and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.

   
 ¹⁹And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long and waxed louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by a voice.

   
 ²⁰And the LORD came down upon Mount Sinai, on the top of the mount; and the LORD called Moses up to the top of the mount, and Moses went up.

   
 ²¹And the LORD said unto Moses, "Go down. Charge the people, lest they break through to gaze unto the LORD, and many of them perish.

   
 ²²And let the priests also, who come near to the LORD, sanctify themselves, lest the LORD break forth upon them."

   
 ²³And Moses said unto the LORD, "The people cannot come up to Mount Sinai; for Thou charged us, saying, `Set bounds about the mount and sanctify it.'"

   
 ²⁴And the LORD said unto him, "Away! Get thee down, and thou shalt come up, thou and Aaron with thee; but let not the priests and the people break through to come up unto the LORD, lest He break forth upon them."

   
 ²⁵So Moses went down unto the people and spoke unto them.

Exodus 20

   
 ²"I am the LORD thy God, who have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

   
 ³"Thou shalt have no other gods before Me.

   
 ⁴"Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

   
 ⁵Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them; for I, the LORD thy God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate Me,

   
 ⁶and showing mercy unto thousands of them that love Me and keep My commandments.

   
 ⁷"Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh His name in vain.

   
 ⁸"Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.

   
 ⁹Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work;

   
 ¹⁰but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God. In it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates.

   
 ¹¹For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

   
 ¹²"Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

   
 ¹³"Thou shalt not kill.

   
 ¹⁴"Thou shalt not commit adultery.

   
 ¹⁵"Thou shalt not steal.

   
 ¹⁶"Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.

   
 ¹⁷"Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house; thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbor's."

   
 ¹⁸And all the people saw the thunderings and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw it, they removed and stood afar off.

   
 ¹⁹And they said unto Moses, "Speak thou with us and we will hear; but let not God speak with us, lest we die."

   
 ²⁰And Moses said unto the people, "Fear not; for God has come to test you, and that His fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not."

   
 ²¹And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.

   
 ²²And the LORD said unto Moses, "Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel: `Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.

   
 ²³Ye shall not make with Me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold.

   
 ²⁴An altar of earth thou shalt make unto Me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings and thy peace offerings, thy sheep and thine oxen. In all places where I record My name I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee.

   
 ²⁵And if thou wilt make Me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone; for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.

   
 ²⁶Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto Mine altar, that thy nakedness be not uncovered thereon.'

 ²¹Then Peter came to Him and said, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until seven times?"

   
 ²²And Jesus said unto him, "I say not unto thee, until seven times, but until seventy times seven.

   
 ²³"Therefore is the Kingdom of Heaven likened unto a certain king who would settle accounts with his servants.

   
 ²⁴And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him who owed him ten thousand talents.

   
 ²⁵But inasmuch as he could not pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife and children and all that he had, and payment to be made.

   
 ²⁶The servant therefore fell down and did homage to him, saying,`Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.'

   
 ²⁷Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him and forgave him the debt.

   
 ²⁸But the same servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred pence. And he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, `Pay me what thou owest.'

   
 ²⁹And his fellow servant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, `Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.'

   
 ³⁰And he would not, but went and cast him into prison till he should pay the debt.

   
 ³¹So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were very sorry and came and told unto their lord all that was done.

   
 ³²Then his lord, after he had called him, said unto him, `O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me.

   
 ³³Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellow servant, even as I had pity on thee?'

   
 ³⁴And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors till he should pay all that was due unto him.

   
 ³⁵So likewise shall My heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother's trespasses."
