Question 99
What is required in the third commandment?
We are not to blaspheme or to abuse the Name of God by cursing,1 perjury,2 or unnecessary oaths,3 nor to share in such horrible sins by being silent bystanders.4 In short, we must use the holy Name of God only with fear and reverence,5 so that we may rightly confess Him,6 call upon Him,7 and praise Him in all our words and works.8
