Catechism and Sacraments Q & A: What Does God Require in the Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Commandments

Dec 8, 2022 • Maegan McFarland, John Leopold, Sam Richter

This episode will explore question 11 of the New City Catechism with our panel: Elder John Leopold, Deacon Sam Richter, and Communication Director Maegan McFarland

The eleventh question in the New City Catechism is: What Does God Require in the Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Commandments?

The answer is: Sixth, that we do not hurt, or hate, or be hostile to our neighbor, but be patient and peaceful, pursuing even our enemies with love. Seventh, that we abstain from sexual immorality and live purely and faithfully, whether in marriage or single life, avoiding all impure actions, looks, words, thoughts, or desires, and whatever might lead to them. Eighth, that we do not take without permission that which belongs to someone else, nor withhold any good from someone we might benefit.

The Bible passage this question and answer is based on is Romans 13:9, which says,

“For the commandments, ‘You shall not murder, you shall not steal, you shall not covet,’ and any other commandment, are summed up in this word: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’”
