Small Catechism Live – The 7th & 8th Commandments ~ Zaccheus & Our Words

The Seventh Commandment

You shall not steal. (God’s gift of possessions)

What does this mean?
We should fear and love God so that we do not take our neighbor’s money or possessions, or get them in any dishonest way, but help him to improve and protect his possessions and income.

The Eighth Commandment

You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor. (God’s gift of a good reputation)

What does this mean?
We should fear and love God so that we do not tell lies about our neighbor, betray him, slander him, or hurt his reputation, but defend him, speak well of him, and explain everything in the kindest way.
