Sixth Commandment
You
shall not commit adultery.

in
what we say and do,
and
husband and wife love and honor each other.

You
shall not steal.
What
does this mean?

Eighth Commandment
You
shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.
What
does this mean?

and put the best construction on everything.
