God’s
Law ~ With Responses
Leader:
And
God spoke all these words, saying,
I am
the Lord your God, who brought you out of the
land
of
Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
Congregation:
The Lord our God, the Lord is one.
Leader:
You
shall have no other gods before me.
You
shall not make for yourself a carved 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. You shall not bow down to
them or serve them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the
iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation
of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love
me and keep my commandments.
You
shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold
him guiltless who takes his name in vain.
Remember
the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six
days you shall labor, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to
the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your
daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the
sojourner who is within your gates. For
in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them,
and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made
it holy.
Congregation:
Lord, teach us to love the Lord our God with all our heart and with
all our soul and with all our might.
Leader: Honor
your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the
Lord your God is giving you.
You
shall not murder.
You
shall not commit adultery.
You
shall not steal.
You
shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
You
shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife,
or his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or
anything that is your neighbor's.
Congregation:
Lord, teach us to love our neighbor as ourselves.
You are the Lord.
[Exodus
20:1-17 with responses from Deuteronomy 6:4, 5 and Leviticus 19:18]
