A querist asks, “Where do I find the Ten Commandments in The New Testament?”<\/p>\n
A list of the commandments can be found in Matthew 19:18-19; Mark 10:19; Luke 18:20; Romans 13:9; cf. Exodus 20:1-17; Deuteronomy 5:6-21, with the conspicuous absence of the Sabbath day command (Exodus 20:8; Leviticus 26:2).<\/p>\n
Even though the rich ruler (Luke 18:18-23) recited only five of the ten commandments, he then added this commandment in the latter part of Matthew 19:19:<\/p>\n
\n“You shall love your neighbor as yourself.<\/strong>“<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
This commandment was a summary of the rest of the commandments and was of equal authority with them (Leviticus 19:18; cf. Matthew 22:39; Romans 13:9; Gal. 5:14; James 2:8).<\/p>\n
Although Christians are no longer under the law of Moses which contained the ten commandments (Gal. 5:4; Ephesians 2:15; Colossians 2:14; cf. Gal. 3:6-14), Paul emphasizes the fact in Romans 13:8-10, that certain principles contained in the law of Moses are eternal.<\/p>\n
For example, the eternal principle of love was not nailed to the cross (abolished) with the law of Moses (cf. Matthew 22:37-39 Mark 12:29-31; Luke 10:27; John 14:15; John 15:9-10; 1 John 5:2-3). Paul tells us in Romans 13:10 that if one truly loves his neighbor, he will never intentionally sin against him. He will also have his neighbor’s best interests at heart (Romans 15:2; cf. 1 Corinthians 10:24; 1 Corinthians 10:33; 1 Corinthians 13:5). True biblical love (agape love) never violates the will of God.<\/p>\n
All divine law, whether of Moses and the prophets, or of Christ and the apostles, is fulfilled by the eternal principle of love (1 Corinthians 13:13; cf. 1 Corinthians 16:14; Gal. 5:13; Philippians 1:9; Colossians 3:14; 1 Timothy 1:5; 1 John 4:7-9; 2 John 1:4-6).<\/p>\n
