Hold Thou me up, and I shall be safe: And I will have respect unto Thy statutes continually.
Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn them, and keep, and do them.
Thou shalt have none other gods before Me.
Who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords.
Thou shalt not make to thyself any graven image, nor the likeness of anything that is in Heaven above, or in the earth beneath, or in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down to them, nor worship them; for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the sins of the fathers upon the children, unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; and showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh His name in vain.
Swear not at all, but let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay ; for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work ; but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work; thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man�servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor the stranger that is within thy gates. For in six days the Lord made Heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day ; wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
It is lawful to do well on the Sabbath day.
Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right
Thou shalt not kill.
Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you and persecute you.
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you ... if any man defile the temple of God, him will God destroy.
Thou shalt not steal.
Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
Wherefore, putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbor; for we are mem�bers one of another.
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbor's.
Which is the great commandment in the law ?
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. |
If a man say, I love God, and hateth his bro�ther, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen ?
No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and His love is perfected in us.
But whoso hath this world's goods, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him ? |

NUMBER III.
TEMPERANCE READING.
Leader. Know ye not that ye are the temple of God?
Response. If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy.
L. For the temple of God is holy, which tem�ple ye are.
R. Ye are not your own ; for ye are bought with a price.
Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.
Add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowl�edge ; and to knowledge temperance;
And to temperance patience; and to patience godliness.
Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging;
And whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.
Look not thou upon the wine when it is red ; when it giveth its color in the cup; when it moveth itself aright.
At the last it biteth like a serpent, and sting-eth like an adder.
Be not drunken with wine, wherein is excess ; but be filled with the Spirit.
He that loveth pleasure shall be poor; he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.
Be not among wine-bibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh.
For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty.
Who hath woe ? who hath sorrow ?
They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.
Who hath contentions? who hath babblings?
They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.
Who hath wounds without cause ? who hath redness of eyes ?
They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.
Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty is a fading flower, which are on the head of the fat valleys of them that are overcome with wine !
The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trodden under foot:
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness;
That put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
Woe unto them that rise up early in the morn�ing, that they may follow strong drink ;
That continue until night, till wine inflame them.
Woe unto him that giveth his neighbor drink. |
