You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. Ten Commandments In The Catholic Bible: Exodus 20:1-17. Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which the LORD your God gives you. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work but the seventh day is a sabbath to the LORD your God in it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your manservant, or your maidservant, or your cattle, 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 hallowed it. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

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. You shall not make for yourself a graven 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 upon 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. I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. David Guzik commentary on Exodus 20, where God gives the ten commandments, four regarding our conduct before God, six for our conduct before God and man. Therefore, we should also love and trust in Him and gladly do what He commands. But He promises grace and every blessing to all who keep these commandments.

Therefore, we should fear His wrath and not do anything against them. Religious groups also vary in how they divide the text into 10. God threatens to punish all who break these commandments. The following text is from the Revised Standard Version (1952) more recent Christian and Jewish translations have slightly different wordings. The Bible contains two passages with the Ten Commandments but the one commonly cited is Exodus 20:2-17.
