Excerpt from Luther's Smaller Catechism: Translated From the Original
That we should so fear and love God, as not to curse, swear, conjure, lie, or deceive in his name; but call upon him in every time of need, and worship him with prayer, praise, and thanksgiving.
The scriptures narrate the decalogue without divis1ons, and there existed a difference of opinion, even before the time of Christ, as to the manner in which these precepts ought to be divided. The division above given, is that which has been received by the greater part of the Christian church since the apostolic age. Another division has been adopted by some churches, according to which the above first com~ mandment 18 divided into two, and the ninth and tenth are united into one. It IS a matter of trifling importance which is adopted, provided the whole decalogue be retained.
