Left Side: "LOVE GOD" (Commandments 1–3)

1. Put ____ first.
→ This refers to the first commandment: *You shall have no other gods before Me.*
✔ Answer: God

2. No ________.
→ This refers to the second commandment: *You shall not make for yourself a carved image...* but more commonly interpreted as avoiding idolatry or false worship. However, in this context, the word that fits best with "no" and relates to God is swearing — actually, the third commandment is about not taking God’s name in vain.
But wait — let's check the order.

Actually, the traditional order of the Ten Commandments is:

1. You shall have no other gods before Me.
2. You shall not make for yourself a graven image...
3. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.
4. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
5. Honor your father and mother.
6. You shall not murder.
7. You shall not commit adultery.
8. You shall not steal.
9. You shall not bear false witness.
10. You shall not covet.

But in this worksheet, the layout groups them under:
- Love God (1–3)
- Love Neighbor (4–10)

So likely, they are simplifying the commandments into moral lessons.

Let’s match accordingly:

Solving the Blanks:

#### Left Side – LOVE GOD

1. Put ____ first.
→ This matches God.
✔ God

2. No ________.
→ This is likely referring to swearing or lying, but “no swearing” is associated with not taking God’s name in vain.
The word swearing fits here.
✔ swearing

3. Go to ________ on Sunday.
→ This is about attending church on the Sabbath (Sunday in Christian tradition).
✔ Church

---

#### Right Side – LOVE NEIGHBOR

4. Obey your _______.
→ This refers to honoring your father and mother.
✔ parents

5. Do not ________.
→ This is about not killing.
✔ kill

6. Respect married life.
→ This refers to not committing adultery.
So the blank should be related to marriage. But the sentence says “Respect married life,” which is already complete. Wait — is there a blank?
Looking back:
> 6. Respect married life.
No blank here — maybe it's just a statement.

Wait! Let’s recheck the original:

> 6. Respect married life.
> 7. Do not ________.
> 8. Do not ________.
> 9. Respect ________.
> 10. Do not be ________.

So only 6 is complete. That means 7, 8, 9, 10 have blanks.

But 6 is a full sentence — so perhaps it’s meant to be read as part of the list, but not requiring a fill-in.

Let’s continue.

7. Do not ________.
→ This could be lie or steal. But “do not lie” is often linked to bearing false witness (commandment 9).
Actually, commandment 8 is “You shall not steal.”
So let’s map:

- 7: Do not adulterate — but we don’t have that word.
But we have steal and lie.

Wait — the commandments are being simplified.

Let’s align them properly:

Standard commandments (simplified):

1. Love God above all — Put God first
2. Don’t misuse God’s name — No swearing
3. Keep the Sabbath — Go to Church on Sunday
4. Honor your parents — Obey your parents
5. Don’t murder — Do not kill
6. Don’t commit adultery — Respect married life (this is implied)
7. Don’t steal — Do not steal
8. Don’t bear false witness — Do not lie
9. Don’t covet your neighbor’s wife — Respect neighbors
10. Don’t covet anything — Do not be jealous

Now let’s match:
