And the second commandment of the Teaching; You shall not commit murder , you shall not commit adultery , Exodus 20:13-14 you shall not commit pederasty, you shall not commit fornication, you shall not steal , Exodus 20:15 you shall not practice magic , you shall not practice witchcraft , you shall not murder a child by abortion nor kill that which is begotten. You shall not covet the things of your neighbour, Exodus 20:17 you shall not forswear yourself, Matthew 5:34 you shall not bear false witness , Exodus 20:16 you shall not speak evil , you shall bear no grudge. You shall not be double-minded nor double-tongued; for to be double-tongued is a snare of death. Your speech shall not be false, nor empty, but fulfilled by deed. You shall not be covetous , nor rapacious, nor a hypocrite, nor evil disposed, nor haughty .

You shall not take evil counsel against your neighbour. You shall not hate any man; but some you shall reprove, and concerning some you shall pray , and some you shall love more than your own life.
