THE FIFTH COMMANDMENT. =Thou shalt not kill.= _That is_, We should fear and love God, and not hurt or harm our neighbor in his body, but help and befriend him in all bodily distress. _72. How is this commandment transgressed?_ 1. By taking our neighbor's life, or by doing him any bodily harm. =Gen. 9:6. Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.= 2. By hatred, anger, abusive words, and all offensive behavior toward our neighbor. =1 John 3:15.

Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice.= _73. Can we kill also our neighbor's soul?_ Yes; when we cause him to sin, either by purposely leading him astray, or by bad example, thus helping to destroy his soul. =Rom. 16:18. By good words and fair speeches they deceive the hearts of the simple.= =Matt. 18:7. Woe to that man by whom the offense cometh.= _74. May we take our own life?_ No; God has given us life, and He alone has the right to take it. _75. What does God require of us in the fifth commandment?_ That we help our neighbor in all bodily distress, and associate with him in love and gentleness. =Luke 10:33-35.= =Eph. 4:32. And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.= =Matt. 25:35, 36. I was hungry, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in;= =Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.= THE SIXTH COMMANDMENT. =Thou shalt not commit adultery.= _That is_, We should fear and love God, and live a chaste and pure life, in words and deeds, husband and wife loving and honoring each other. _76.

By all impure thoughts, desires, words, and acts, in married as well as in unmarried persons. =Eph. 5:3. But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints.= _77. Who has instituted marriage?_ God Himself instituted it in Paradise. =Gen. 2:21-24, 1:27-28. Matt. 19:4-6.= _78. How do unfaithful husbands and wives treat this holy institution?_ They despise it, and thus bring down upon themselves the judgment of God. =Heb. 13:4. Whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.= _79. Repeat some passages from Scripture in which impurity is forbidden?_
