16. oldal EESEEESÍSJ In the Fourth Commandment God requires that on the seventh day we should cease from our daily work and give this day to the service and worship of God, for this is the day God also had sanctified. In the Fifth Commandment God requires that we show all honor, love, and loyalty to our father and mother and to all in authority over us; to submit our­selves with due obedience to all their good instructions and corrections; and to bear patiently with their infir­mities since it is God’s will to govern us by them. In the Sixth Commandment God requires that we neither in thought nor in deed kill or harm our neighbors, but lay aside all desire of revenge. It means also that it is His will that we should not harm and abuse ourselves. In the Seventh Commandment God requires us to live chastely and modestly in wedlock or in single life. In the Eighth Commandment God forbids theft or all wicked devices whereby we may seek to draw to our­selves our neighbor’s goods by force or unjust means. In the Ninth Commandment God requires us to live an honest and truthful life in matters of judgement and justice, and that in all affairs love, honesty, and truth should govern our words and deeds. In the Tenth Commandment God requires that with our whole heart we continually hate sin which is evil and take pleasure in righteousness. God forbids envy or greed with regard to our neighbor’s goods. We also believe and accept the Ten Commandments as standards of our faith and conduct. Jesus taught, “Think not that I have come to abolish the law and the prophets; I have come not to abolish them, but to fulfill them.” (Mt. 5:17) InEWS FROM THE CXJNGREGATIONS] ALLEN PARK, MICH.
