You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.
それにひれ伏してはならない。それに仕えてはならない。あなたの神、主であるわたしは、ねたむ神であるから、わたしを憎むものは、父の罪を子に報いて、三四代に及ぼし、
Taking “the name of the Lord your God in vain” involves speaking or thinking of him lightly. God is a great God, who deserves our complete respect and honor and worship. We cannot take his name lightly. Certainly, we should not use God’s name in a curse. Yet, in order to keep this commandment, we need to do more. We must honor who he is, what he has commanded us to do, and accept his offer of salvation. We must make sure that our actions glorify him. And, we must make sure that we show proper honor to the people he has created and not complain about the situations he has put us in. Use God’s name with great care, making sure that you bring glory to him as you speak of him.
