MARK 10:19 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.”
You know the commandments: you shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not defraud, honor your father and mother — the commandments cited are from the second table of the Decalogue — the human-relations commands. The substitution of you shall not defraud for you shall not covet is significant and may reflect a specifically economic application — covetousness expressed as defrauding others. The list Jesus gives is the social dimension of the law.
