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. 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. THE SEVENTH COMMANDMENT. =Thou shalt not steal.= _That is_, We should fear and love God, and not take our neighbor's money or property, nor get it by unfair dealing or other dishonesty, but help him to improve and protect his property and living. THE EIGHTH COMMANDMENT. =Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.= _That is_, We should fear and love God, and not tell lies about our neighbor, nor betray, slander, or defame him; but excuse him, speak well of him, and look upon all his acts as well-meant. THE NINTH COMMANDMENT. =Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house.= _That is_, We should fear and love God, and not by deceit or craft seek to gain our neighbor's inheritance or home, nor try to get it though we seem to have some right thereto, but help him to keep his own. THE TENTH COMMANDMENT. =Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his cattle, nor anything that is his.= _That is_, We should fear and love God, and not estrange, force, or entice away from our neighbor, his wife, servants, or cattle, but urge them to stay and do their duty. _What does God say of all his commandments?_ =I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; and showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.= _That is_, God threatens to punish all who transgress these commandments; we should therefore fear His wrath, and do nothing against them. On the other hand He promises grace and every blessing to all who keep these commandments; we should therefore love Him and trust in Him, and gladly do according to His commandments. PART TWO. THE THREE ARTICLES OF THE CREED. THE FIRST ARTICLE. CONCERNING CREATION. =I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.= _That is_, I believe that God has made me and all other creatures; that He has given me body and soul, eyes, ears, and all other members, my reason, and all my senses. I also believe that He preserves all He has made, and that He daily provides me with all I need, giving me clothing and food, home and family, and every good thing. I further believe that He protects me from all danger, and keeps me from all evil; not because I have deserved it, but because He is a loving and merciful Father. For all these blessings it is my duty to serve Him thankfully and obediently all the days of my life. All this is certainly true. THE SECOND ARTICLE. CONCERNING REDEMPTION.
