Exodus 20:1-6
New King James Version
The Ten Commandments(A)
20 And God spoke (B)all these words, saying:
2 (C)“I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, (D)out of the house of [a]bondage.
3 (E)“You shall have no other gods before Me.
4 (F)“You shall not make for yourself a carved image—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; 5 (G)you shall not bow down to them nor [b]serve them. (H)For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, (I)visiting[c] the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, 6 but (J)showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
