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. “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, ...
(Exodus 20:1-26)

time.”

“‘I am the Lord
your God, who brought you out of
the land of Egypt, out of the
house of slavery. “‘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 on 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 fourth
generation of those who hate me,
but showing steadfast love to
thousands of those who love me and
keep my commandments. ...
(Deuteronomy 5:6-21)
ESV
“Do not think that I have come to
abolish the Law or the Prophets; I
have not come to abolish them but
to fulfill them. For truly, I say
to you, until heaven and earth
pass away, not an iota, not a dot,
will pass from the Law until all
is accomplished. Therefore whoever
relaxes one of the least of these
commandments and teaches others to
do the same will be called least
in the kingdom of heaven, but
whoever does them and teaches them
will be called great in the
kingdom of heaven. For I tell you,
unless your righteousness exceeds
that of the scribes and Pharisees,
you will never enter the kingdom
of heaven. “You have heard that it
was said to those of old, ‘You
shall not murder; and whoever
murders will be liable to
judgment.’ ...
(Matthew 5:17-22)

hearers only, deceiving
yourselves.

him: whoever loves God must also
love his brother.

as though I were writing you a new
commandment, but the one we have
had from the beginning—that we
love one another.

And this is love, that we walk
according to his commandments;
this is the commandment, just as
you have heard from the beginning,
so that you should walk in it.
