what is the 6th commandment

The Sixth Commandment, as part of the Ten Commandments, is "Thou shalt not kill". This commandment is interpreted as a prohibition against unlawful killing or murder, rather than a blanket prohibition against all killing. The commandment emphasizes the sanctity of human life and the importance of valuing and choosing life. In the context of Catholic faith, the Sixth Commandment also summons spouses to practice permanent and exclusive fidelity to one another, emphasizing emotional and sexual fidelity as essential. Additionally, the Sixth Commandment has been the subject of a true-life crime drama series on BBC, which explores the devastating effects of isolation and loneliness in the context of real-life murders.
