I am YHWH thy Elohim, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other elohim before me.
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I YHWH thy Elohim am a jealous Elohim, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
Thou shalt not take the name of YHWH thy Elohim in vain; for YHWH will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all they work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of YHWH thy Elohim: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within your gates: For in six days YHWH made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore YHWH blessed that sabbath day, and hallowed it.
Honour they father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which YHWH thy Elohim giveth thee.
Thou shalt not kill.
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Thou shalt not steal.
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not cover thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbour's

Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Yehudim
He came to Yeshua by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from Eloha, for no one can do these signs that you do, unless Eloha is with him.”
Yeshua answered him, “Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born anew, he can’t see Eloha’s Kingdom.”
Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?”
Yeshua answered, “Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born of water and Spirit, he can’t enter into Eloha’s Kingdom.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Don’t marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born anew.’
The wind blows where it wants to, and you hear its sound, but don’t know where it comes from and where it is going. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
Nicodemus answered him, “How can these things be?”
Yeshua answered him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and don’t understand these things?
Most certainly I tell you, we speak that which we know and testify of that which we have seen, and you don’t receive our witness.
If I told you earthly things and you don’t believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?
No one has ascended into heaven but he who descended out of heaven, the Son of Man, who is in heaven.
As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,
that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
For Eloha so loved the world, that he gave his only born Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
For Eloha didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.
He who believes in him is not judged. He who doesn’t believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only born Son of Eloha.
This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light, for their works were evil.
For everyone who does evil hates the light and doesn’t come to the light, lest his works would be exposed.
But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in Eloha.”

36 “Let all the house of Israel therefore know certainly that Eloha has made him both Lord and Messiah, this Yeshua whom you crucified.”
37 Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the emissaries, “Brothers, what shall we do?”
38 Peter said to them, “Repent and be immersed, every one of you, in the name of Yeshua the Messiah for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39 For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are far off, even as many as YHWH Eloheinu will call to himself.”
40 With many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation!”
41 Then those who gladly received his word were immersed. There were added that day about three thousand souls.

"It shall happen, when all these things have come on you, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before you, and you shall call them to mind among all the nations where YHWH your Elohim has driven you,
and return to YHWH your Elohim and obey his voice according to all that I command you today, you and your children, with all your heart and with all your soul,
that then YHWH your Elohim will release you from captivity, have compassion on you, and will return and gather you from all the peoples where YHWH your Elohim has scattered you.
If your outcasts are in the uttermost parts of the heavens, from there YHWH your Elohim will gather you, and from there he will bring you back.
YHWH your Elohim will bring you into the land which your fathers possessed, and you will possess it. He will do you good, and increase your numbers more than your fathers.
YHWH your Elohim will circumcise your heart, and the heart of your offspring, to love YHWH your God with all your heart and with all your soul, that you may live.
YHWH your Elohim will put all these curses on your enemies and on those who hate you, who persecuted you.
You shall return and obey YHWH’s voice, and do all his commandments which I command you today.
YHWH your Elohim will make you prosperous in all the work of your hand, in the fruit of your body, in the fruit of your livestock, and in the fruit of your ground, for good; for YHWH will again rejoice over you for good, as he rejoiced over your fathers,
if you will obey YHWH your Elohim’s voice, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this scroll of the Torah, if you turn to YHWH your Elohim with all your heart and with all your soul."
