slavery; you shall have no other gods before me. - You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven
above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not
bow down to them or worship them. - You shall not make wrongful use of the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not
acquit anyone who misuses his name. - Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy.
- Honour your father and your mother, so that your days may be long in the land that the Lord
your God is giving you. - You shall not murder.
- You shall not commit adultery.
- You shall not steal.
- You shall not bear false witness against your neighbour.
- You shall not covet your neighbour’s house.

These commandments are always, equally applicable to all people, everywhere and at
all times. These commandments are therefore called Universal Laws.

should be and what should be done for that.

Group 2: The commandments 6 to 10 specify how the relation between man and man
should be.
Group 3: The 5
th commandment connects these two groups. The loop that connects
these two groups is Parents. The essence of the 5th commandment is that for
getting long life, we should respect our parents. It is God who gives us long
life. So, man should keep good relationship with God. Parents should be given
respect for getting long life. For getting one thing, the other thing must be
done. God will bless us with long life, if we respect our parents.
