Article 1

THE FIRST COMMANDMENT

I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself a graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them or serve them.³
It is written: "You shall worship the Lord your God and him only shall you serve."⁴

3 Ex 20:2-5; cf. Deut 5:6-9.

4 Mt 4:10.
