Exodus 20:13 - 20:17 (Commandments 6-10)

ExodusSteve Gregg
In Exodus 20:13-17, the sixth through tenth commandments are outlined. The sixth commandment, "You shall not murder," emphasizes the importance of justice and human life. While Jesus' teaching on turning the other cheek does not negate civil justice systems, the concept of "eye for an eye" was established to establish proportional justice and respect for life. Adultery is a violation of the marriage covenant; sexual behavior and fornication should remain within the confines of marriage. Furthermore, loving money is a violation of the tenth commandment and serves as the root cause of all violations of the other commandments.
