THE FIFTH COMMANDMENT.
Thou shalt not kill. _What is meant by this Commandment?_ _Ans._ We should so fear and love God as not to do our neighbor any bodily harm or injury, but rather assist and comfort him in danger and want. THE SIXTH COMMANDMENT. Thou shalt not commit adultery. _What is meant by this Commandment?_ _Ans._ We should so fear and love God as to be chaste and pure in our words and deeds, each one also loving and honoring his wife or her husband. THE SEVENTH COMMANDMENT. Thou shalt not steal. _What is meant by this Commandment?_ _Ans._ We should so fear and love God as not to rob our neighbor of his money or property, nor bring it into our possession by unfair dealing or fraudulent means, but rather assist him to improve and protect it. |
