It’s been said that Christianity has too many “DO NOT’S, Too negative”, too many THOU SHALT NOT’s. But a search of the New Testament does NOT bear this out. The Lord Jesus only repeated the THOU SHALT NOT found in the 10 Commandment’s.
Matthew 4:7, Luke 4:12 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
Matthew 5:21 Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
Matthew 5:26, Luke 12:59 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
Matthew 5:27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
Matthew 5:33 Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:
Matthew 6:5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
Matthew 19:18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,

Paul, preaching at Antioch, quotes a Psalm regarding the Resurrection:
Acts 13:35 Wherefore he saith also in another Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. Psalm 16:10, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
Then before the high priest, Ananias …
Acts 23:5 Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people.
Paul, also quoted from the 10 Commandments.
Romans 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
Romans 13:9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
And later he justified preaches the right to be paid:
1 Corinthians 9:9 For it is written in the law of Moses, thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen?
1 Timothy 5:18 For the scripture saith, thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.
And the resurrected Lord Jesus reminded the assembly at Sardis, about his second coming:
Revelation 3:3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

So, where is the too many “DO NOT’S, Too negative” and the too many “THOU SHALT NOT’s”? The true believer has LIBERTY.
Romans 8:21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
2 Corinthians 3:17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
Galatians 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
Galatians 5:13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

Exodus 20 – Restated in Deuteronomy 5

These commandments were written by the finger of God Himself
(Exodus 24:12, 31:18) on Mount Sinai while they were on their way to the promised land (Exodus 19:1). While Moses was gone, the people had Aaron mold a calf of Gold to worship. When Moses returned and learned of this he smashed the stone tablets. Later (Exodus 34:1) New tablets were made and written upon by the Lord.

The first 4 were the children of Israel’s relationship to God. The last 6 are their relationship with each other.

Obeying the Ten Commandments will not save anyone, but they will produce a good life.

Read the account of the young man, who had great possessions,
(Matthew 19:16-22, Mark 10:17-22). Upon proclaiming he had obeyed and had observed all commandments from his youth, Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

Exodus 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

And as they were preparing to enter the promise land, Moses gave several instructions on how they were to observe this command. They were not to mention the name of other gods. Remember they had just escaped from Egypt where many gods were worshipped. (Exodus 23:13 And in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect: and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth). They were not worship any other god (Exodus 34:14 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God), They were not follow after other gods as they took possession of the promise land. (Deuteronomy 6:14 Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are round about you;).
