Do not commit adultery -> Be truthful to your partner

Do not steal, Do not covet -> Be content with what you have

Do not bear false witness -> Speak the truth

Do not do to another what you would not have done to yourself -> Treat others like you want to be treated

Do not become attached to pleasures -> Practice moderation

Do not give way to anger -> Stay calm

Do not nurse a grudge, Do not return evil for evil, Do not curse those who curse you, but rather bless them, Do no wrong to anyone, and bear patiently wrongs done to yourself -> Practice forgiveness
