Some people have trouble with all those 'shalls' and 'shall nots' in the Ten commandments. Folks just aren't used to talking in those terms. So, in the South they translated the 'King James'... no joke, (posted on the wall at Cross Trails Church in Gainsesboro, TN)
(1) Just one God
(2) Put nothin' before God.
(3) Watch yer mouth.
(4) Git yourself to Sabbath meetin'.
(5) Honor yer Ma & Pa.
(6) No killin'
(7) No foolin' around with another fella's gal
(8) Don't take what ain't yers.
(9) No tellin' tales or gossipin'
(10) Don't be hankerin' for yer buddy's stuff.
