Exodus 20:12-14. Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt not commit adultery.
These commandments take a far wider sweep than the mere words. "Thou shalt not kill" includes the doing of anything by which life may be shortened as well as taken away. It includes anger - every evil wish and every malicious passion. And "Thou shalt not commit adultery" includes every form of unchastity and impurity.
