Here are the Ten Commandments and where they are found in the New Testament:

1) Do not worship any other gods (1 Corinthians 8:6; 1 Timothy 2:5)

2) Do not make idols (1 John 5:21)

3) Do not misuse the name of the LORD (1 Timothy 6:1)

4) Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy. (There are many references to the
Sabbath day in the New Testament, including the assumption that Jews under the law in
the time of Christ would be observing the Sabbath. But there is no direct or indirect
command for believers in the church age to observe the Sabbath as a day of rest or of
worship. In fact, Colossians 2:16 releases the believer from the Sabbath rule. Jesus, the
Lord of the Sabbath, has become for us our Sabbath rest, according to Hebrews 4:1–
11.)

5) Honor your father and your mother (Ephesians 6:1–2)

6) Do not murder (Romans 13:9; 1 Peter 4:15)

7) Do not commit adultery (1 Corinthians 6:9–10)

8) Do not steal (Ephesians 4:28)

9) Do not give false testimony (Revelation 21:8)

10) Do not covet (Colossians 3:5)
