<P> Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain . </P> <P> Keep yourselves from evil to take the name of the Lord in vain, for I am the Lord your God, even the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob . </P> <P> And again, the Lord God hath commanded that men should not murder; that they should not lie; that they should not steal; that they should not take the name of the Lord their God in vain; that they should not envy; that they should not have malice; that they should not contend one with another; that they should not commit whoredoms; and that they should do none of these things; for whoso doeth them shall perish . </P> <P> Former prophet and president of the Church, Spencer W. Kimball told the following story to inspire believers: President Kimball underwent surgery many years ago, he was wheeled from the operating room to the intensive care room . The attendant who pushed the gurney which carried him stumbled and let out an oath using the name of the Lord . President Kimball, who was barely conscious, said weakly, "Please! Please! That is my Lord whose names you revile ." There was a deathly silence; then the young man whispered with a subdued voice, "I am sorry ." </P>

Thou shalt not call the name of the lord in vain
