- "The
Ten Commandments" from Luther's Large Catechism. (Follow "next
page" to read the entire section.)
- "Thus we have the Ten Commandments, a compend of divine doctrine, as to what we are to do in order that our whole life may be pleasing to God, and the true fountain and channel from and in which everything must arise and flow that is to be a good work, so that outside of the Ten Commandments no work or thing can be good or pleasing to God, however great or precious it be in the eyes of the world."
- "The
Ten Commandments," from Luther's Small Catechism.
- "God threatens to punish everyone who breaks these commandments. We should be afraid of His anger because of this and not violate such commandments. But He promises grace and all good things to those who keep such commandments. Because of this, we, too, should love Him, trust Him, and willingly do what His commandments require."
- From the Geneva Notes.
- "By parents it is also meant all that have authority over us."
- From
Matthew Henry's
Commentary.
- "The laws of the SECOND table, that is, the last six of the ten commandments, state our duty to ourselves and to one another, and explain the great commandment, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."
- From
Wesley's Notes.
- "God has many ways of speaking to the children of men by his spirit, conscience, providences; his voice in all which we ought carefully to attend to: but he never spake at any time upon any occasion so as he spake the ten commandments, which therefore we ought to hear with the more earnest heed."
- Section VII, The Canon of the Old And New Testaments or The Bible Complete without the Apocrypha and Unwritten Traditions, Archibald Alexander, c. 1850.
- From the
Commentary on the Whole Bible
(Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
- "Had He been simply addressing rational and intelligent creatures, He would have spoken with the still small voice of persuasion and love. But He was speaking to those who were at the same time fallen and sinful creatures, and a corresponding change was required in the manner of God's procedure, in order to give a suitable impression of the character and sanctions of the law revealed from heaven."

Commentary, Exodus 20:12, Christopher B. Davis, The African
American Lectionary, 2008.
- "Most modern biblical commentators generally assume that the promise of long life for honoring one?s father and mother was not personal, but national?the nation?s days would be made longer. This sentiment resonates with me and bears out my earlier contention that one can assess the state of a Union/a nation by how it treats its elders."

- "Perhaps it is this other side, the underside of the liberation shekel, that ought to give us in the West the most to ponder in reading the story of God’s salvation in Exodus. This God of Exodus, who saves the oppressed, is the God who judges the oppressor who will not let go."
