An abridged question-and-answer exposition of a Lutheran catechism, translated into plain English for young readers, offers clear explanations of the Ten Commandments, the three articles of the Creed (creation, redemption, sanctification), and the Lord's Prayer. Each brief question prompts a concise answer that interprets theological phrases, links doctrine to everyday duties, and emphasizes fearing, loving, and trusting God, repentance and forgiveness, and right conduct. Scripture quotations are used to support the explanations, and the translator prioritizes simplicity and devotional clarity while preserving the catechetical teaching structure.
84. What does God require of us in the sixth commandment?
We must live a chaste and pure life, whether we are married or unmarried, husband and wife loving and honoring each other.
Thou shalt not steal.
That is,
We should fear and love God, and not take our neighbor's money or property, nor get it by unfair dealing or other dishonesty, but help him to improve and protect his property and living.
