Eph 6:2 "
Honor your father and mother for this is the FIRST commandment with a promise" in that still valid - unit of TEN
Matt 19 "Jesus said
if you would enter into eternal life KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS" -- then the rich young ruler asked "
WHICH ONES?" - And Jesus listed commandments from the TEN Commandments.
Romans 13 - Paul gives that SAME LIST -- unchanged even after the cross.
It just does not get any easier than that!
Exodus 20:6 "
LOVE Me and KEEP My Commandments"
John 14:15 "
If you Love Me KEEP My Commandments"
