"Be most careful not to break the least of God’s commandments; such a violation would destroy your likeness to God, and would bring you near to the likeness of the Devil. The more you transgress God’s commandments, the more you will grow like unto the Devil.”
St. John of Kronstadt

The receiving from God the Ten Commandments is the most significant event of the Old Testament. It has intention to regulate both religious and civil life. These Commandments contain fundamental principles for human society. The first four express man's duties in relation to God, the next five define relationships between people, the last calls for purity of thoughts and desires. Unfortunately human nature was corrupted after the fall, so these commandments represent the very minimum to help our inner voice of conscience to regulate our behavior.
