A CHILD’S TEN COMMANDMENTS

You shall have no Gods but Me.

Before no idol bend the knee.

Take not the Name of God in vain.

Keep Sunday just as God ordained.

Give both your parents honour due.

Take care that you no murder do.

Stay far from all that’s rude, unclean.

Steal not even when unseen.

Do not tell a lie nor love it.

What is your neighbour’s do not covet.
