Ten Commandments for young people
What is best for our life !
- You may not love anyone or anything more than you love GOD.
- You may not worship or put more importance on any person or thing, other than God. You must worship only the Lord, not your parents, not a friend, not a movie star or sports hero, not a car, not a skate board. Nothing.
- You may not swear. Use God’s Holy Name only in a loving way, never to express anger or frustration.
- One day of your week should be set aside for rest and the worship of God. Work six days of the week only. Keep Sunday as a special day set aside to meet with other Christians and relax.
- Be respectful to your parents. Love them, and the Lord will reward you with a long life.
- You may not hate other people; don’t ever think of hurting someone else in any way.
- Keep your thoughts and actions pure.
- You may not take and keep anything that doesn’t belong to you.
- You may not tell lies, especially when that lie will hurt someone else.
- You may not be jealous of what others have. You may not be jealous of your friend’s new clothes or smartphone or the big house your neighbor lives in. Be satisfied with what you have.

At once the royal secretaries were summoned—on the twenty-third day of the third month, the month of Sivan. They wrote out all Mordecai’s orders to the Jews, and to the satraps, governors and nobles of the 127 provinces stretching from India to Cush. These orders were written in the script of each province and the language of each people and also to the Jews in their own script and language.
