Twelve Commandments
LECTION 46
L 46:7 AND Jesus said unto them, Behold a new law I give unto you, which is not new but old. Even as Moses gave the Ten Commandments to Israel after the flesh, so also I give unto you the Twelve for the Kingdom of Israel after the Spirit.
1.
Ye shall not take away the life of any creature for your pleasure, nor for your profit, nor yet torment it.
2.
Ye shall not steal the goods of any, nor gather lands and riches to yourselves, beyond your need or use.
3.
Ye shall not eat the flesh, nor drink the blood of any slaughtered creature, nor yet any thing which bringeth disorder to your health or senses.
4.
Ye shall not make impure marriages, where love and health are not, nor yet corrupt yourselves, or any creature made pure by the Holy.
5.
Ye shall not bear false witness against any, nor wilfully deceive any by a lie to hurt them.
6.
Ye shall not do unto others, as ye would not that others should do unto you.
7.
Ye shall worship One Eternal, the Father-Mother in Heaven, of Whom are all things, and reverence the holy Name.
8.
Ye shall revere your fathers and your mothers on earth, whose care is for you, and all the Teachers of Righteousness.
9.
Ye shall cherish and protect the weak, and those who are oppressed, and all creatures that suffer wrong.
10.
Ye shall work with your hands the things that are good and seemly; so shalt ye eat the fruits Of the earth, and live long in the land.
11.
Ye shall purify yourselves daily and rest the Seventh Day from labour, keeping holy the Sabbaths and the Festival of your God.
12.
Ye shall do unto others as ye would that others should do unto you.
L 47:24. This is the new Law unto the Israel of God, and the Law is within, for it is the Law of Love, and it is not new but old. Take heed that ye add nothing to this law, neither take anything from it. Verily I say unto you, they who believe and obey this law shall be saved, and they who know and obey it not, shall be lost.
