The Ten Commandments - Deuteronomy 5:6-21
 6 "I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
 7 You shall have no other gods before me.
 8 You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below.
 9 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third  and fourth generation of those who hate me,
 10 but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.
 11 You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.
 12 Observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy, as the Lord your God has commanded you.
 13 Six days you shall labor and do all your work,
 14 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your ox, your donkey or any of your animals, nor the alien within your gates, so that 
 your manservant and maidservant may rest, as you do.
 15 Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and that the Lord your God brought you out of there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm. Therefore the Lord your God has commanded you to observe the Sabbath day.
 16 Honor your father and your mother, as the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live long and that it may go well with you in the land the Lord your God is giving you.
 17 You shall not murder.
 18 You shall not commit adultery.
 19 You shall not steal.
 20 You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.
 21 You shall not covet your neighbor's wife. You shall not set your desire on your neighbor's house or land, his manservant or 
 maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor."

Ephesians 2:8-10
 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith --and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God--
 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.
 10 For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
