Sixth Commandment: Thou shalt not commit adultery.

All people—married, single, religious, and


ordained—need to acquire the virtue of chastity. We should fear and love God, so that we lead a chaste
and decent life in word and deed, and that husband and wife each love and honor the other.

Seventh Commandment: Thou shalt not steal. It primarily reveals to us that God wants us to act justly
and with charity in our relationships with one another. We should not take our neighbor’s money or
goods, nor get them in any dishonest way, but help him to improve and protect his goods and means of
making a living.

Eighth Commandment: Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. It reveals to us how God
desires us to act in our relationships with one another. We should not lie about, betray or slander our
neighbor, but excuse him, speak well of him, and put the best construction on everything.

Ninth Commandment: Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s house. It prohibits making false statements
against our neighbor and is designed to prevent slander and perversion of justice. We should not craftily
seek to gain our neighbor’s inheritance or home, nor get it by a show of right, but help and serve him in
keeping it.

Tenth Commandment: Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife. It addresses what happens in our hearts
and minds, makes clear that the Lord forbids those sins that no one sees — our covetous thoughts and
desires leading us to long wrongfully for what rightfully belongs to others We should not tempt, force or
coax away from our neighbor his wife or his workers, but urge them to stay and do their duty.
