Chastity
adulteryThe commandments are part of God's Revelation. The fourth through tenth commandments recognize the obligation we have to respect and love our neighbors.
Jesus taught his disciples to live out the commandments as an expression of love for God, for themselves, and for their neighbors. He explained to them that he had not come to do away with the laws that God had given to Moses, but to fulfill them.
The Fourth Commandment states: Honor your father and your mother. (Refer to ways that we live out this commandment on pg. 55)
The Fifth Commandment states: You shall not kill. This commandment is based on the truth that all life is sacred and created by God. Following this commandment demands that we respect and protect human life in all that we say and do. (Refer to page 56)
The right to life, from the moment of conception to the moment of natural death, is the most basic human right.
The Sixth Commandment states: You shall not commit adultery. This commandment obliges married couples to be faithful to each other until death, both physically and emotionally. It also obliges each of us to honor the love a husband and wife have for each other to honor their promise to be faithful.
