2nd Greatest Commandment

 Matthew 22:37-40"Yeshua said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind." This is the first and greatest commandment.  And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.  

On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."

Also in Luke 10:25-37, Mark 12:28-34

The remaining Commandments 5-10 are all about "Loving your neighbor as thyself," which in James 2 also calls it the "Royal Law."   

FIFTH OF THE 10 COMMANDMENTS

• Exodus 20:12: "Honor thy Father and thy Mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee."   
• Exodus 21:17 "And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death."
• Leviticus 19:3 "Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep my sabbaths: I am the Lord your God." 
• Proverbs 23:22-26 "Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not they mother when she is old.  Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.  The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him.  Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bare thee shall rejoice. My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways."

It is also understood as a  "couched phrase" that you shall teach your children the 10 Commandments, as discussed in Deuteronomy chapter 6. We are to also to Honor God the Father.   

SIXTH OF THE 10 COMMANDMENTS

• Exodus 20:13 "Thou shalt not kill".  
• Romans 12:17-20 "Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all.  If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all." 
• 1 John 3:11-15 "For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother.  And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.  Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you...Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer and shall not inherit eternal life."  

The word for kill here in Hebrew (רָצַח râtsach) means to murder.  So, emphasis is to not have a premeditated plan to murder anyone, to shed blood (innocent or not) or even to allow murderous thoughts to grieve your heart.  As part of another "couched phrase" under the Royal Law and per Christ's teachings (Matt 5:21-26) (Matt 5:38-48), no one is to exact vengeance or retaliation out of anger against anyone else.  This is also a concept under the Rainbow Covenant (Genesis 9:6) and given as an early example of evil by Adam's son Cain who slew Abel (Gen 4:9-11). 

SEVENTH OF THE 10 COMMANDMENTS

• Exodus 20:14 "Thou shalt not commit adultery"  
• Leviticus 18:20 "Thou shalt not lie carnally with your neighbor's wife, to defile thyself with her." 
• Mark 10: 11-12 "Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.  And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery."
• Isaiah 57:5-8 "Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of the rocks...Upon a lofty and high mountain has thou set thy bed: even thither wentest thou up to offer sacrifice. Behind the doors also and the posts has thou set up thy remembrance: for thou hast discovered thyself to another than me, and art gone up; thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made the a covenant with them; thou lovedst their beds where thou sawest it." 
• Leviticus 20:10 "And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbor's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death."

Christ in Matthew 10:27-32 also established the concept of having even "lust in your eyes" is an act of adultery.  However, Christ also rebuked and saved the adulterous woman in John 8: 3-11, and told her to go and "sin no more" after he shamed her accusers for wanting to stone her to death and using her as a way to put God to the test.  The concept of adultery is also synonymous of Idolatry, as the Book of Hosea discusses, explaining that loving Idols is a way for people to commit adultery against God.  Jeremiah chapter 10 even warns against doing the "ways of the Heathen";  using the example of an Asherah Pole, similar to a Christmas Tree (also said in Deuteronomy 12 & 16).  1 John 5 explains that idols are the sin that leads to death, which is the same sin that caused the northern kingdom of Israel to be divorced and separated from Judah, and scattered to the 4 corners of the earth in 2 Kings 17-18.  

EIGHTH OF THE 10 COMMANDMENTS

• Exodus 20:15 "Thou shalt not steal."  
• Luke 3:13-14 "And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.  And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages."
• Matthew 21:13 "It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves"  (Rebuking the Pharisees, who also turned the temple into a market). 

NINTH OF THE 10 COMMANDMENTS

• Exodus 20:16 "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor" 
• Leviticus 19:16 "Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbor: I am the Lord."
• 1Co 6:3-10  "Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.  I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? No, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?  But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.  Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?  Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.  Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God." 

TENTH OF THE 10 COMMANDMENTS

• Exodus 20:17 "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbor's."
• Luk 12:15  "And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth." 
• 1Ti 6:6-10  "But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.  And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.  But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.  For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows." 

Covetousness is one of the Commandments that will snare a large number of people, and it tends to cross over many of the other Commandments.  God wants people to be content with the things they have, or the position God allowed them to be appointed.  Those that lust for more and more and can't have enough are not living on Faith of God, nor are focused on his good works.  Mat 6:19-21  "Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:  For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
