311. Q. Which are the Commandments that contain the whole law of God?
A. The Commandments which contain the whole law of God are these two:
1st, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, with thy
whole soul, with thy whole strength, and with thy whole mind; 2d, Thou
shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

312. Q. Why do these two Commandments of the love of God and of our
neighbor contain the whole law of God?
A. These two Commandments of the love of God and of our neighbor contain
the whole law of God because all the other Commandments are given either
to help us to keep these two, or to direct us how to shun what is
opposed to them.

313. Q. Which are the Commandments of God?
A. The Commandments of God are these ten.

1. I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt,
out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt not have strange gods before
Me. Thou shalt not make to thyself a graven thing, nor the likeness
of anything that is in heaven above, or in the earth beneath, nor of
those things that are in the waters under the earth. Thou shalt not
adore them, nor serve them.

3. Remember thou keep holy the Sabbath day.
4. Honor thy father and thy mother.
