The Name

1 Then God spoke all these words, saying, 2 "(A) I am the LORD your God, (B) Who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.

3 "(C) You shall have no other (D) gods [a] before Me.

4 "(E) You shall not make for yourself [b] an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on Earth beneath or in the water under the surface.

5 "(F) You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the LORD your God, am a (G) jealous God, (H) visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me, 6 but showing lovingkindness to (I) thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.

7 "(J) You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not leave him unpunished who takes His name in vain.

-Exodus 20:1-7
