What are the 10 Commandments?
💬Answer
The Ten Commandments (Decalogue) as taught by the Catholic Church are: (1) I am the Lord your God; you shall not have other gods before me. (2) You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain. (3) Remember to keep holy the Lord's Day. (4) Honor your father and your mother. (5) You shall not kill. (6) You shall not commit adultery. (7) You shall not steal. (8) You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. (9) You shall not covet your neighbor's wife. (10) You shall not covet your neighbor's goods. The first three commandments govern our relationship with God; the remaining seven govern our relationships with one another. Catholics note a slight difference in numbering from Protestant traditions.
