Thou shalt have no other gods before me. (Exodus
203)

• But I say, that the things which the Gentiles
  sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to
  God and I would not that ye should have
  fellowship with devils. Ye cannot drink the cup
  of the Lord, and the cup of devils ye cannot be
  partakers of the Lords table, and of the table
  of devils. (1 Corinthians 1020-21)

  themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor
  covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor
  extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God
in vain. (Exodus 207)

  extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
