Scriptural Authority . . .

Matthew 28:19-20 (KJV)

“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”

Summary Of All The Commandments Of Jesus

This is His one commandment which summarizes all the others:

      “This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.”  (John 15:12 KJV)

 

John 15:7-15 (KJV)
7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. 8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. 9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. 10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love. 11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. 12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. 15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.     

 

This is not just one more commandment He added to a list. This one commandment that summarizes all the others: “Love one another as I have loved you.” “

NOTE: “Love one another” means “love all people,” not just “love other Christians.”

 

Complete List Of The Commandments Of Jesus

Here, then, is the complete list of all the Commandments which Jesus taught His disciples to observe, as I have found them recorded in the four Gospels. They are organized into two groups: the Universal Moral Law, and the Other Commandments Of Jesus.

A summary of each commandment is given first, then a detailed explanation of each one, with 

Scriptural references.

It is always possible that I have overlooked a commandment or two. So in order to make sure for yourself, please buy a Bible with the words of Jesus written in red. Then read the red words first, and see for yourself! As Jesus said, “the words I speak to you, they are spirit and they are life.” (John 6:63b KJV)

Detailed List Of
The Commandments Of Jesus,
With Scriptural References

The Universal Moral Law

   This is the Universal Moral Law regarding your relationship with your

   Creator and with all other people on Earth. This law now applies to

   all people in all situations.

   

   There are three parts to the Universal Moral Law . . .

       1. The Law Of Love

       2. The Ten Commandments

       3. The Golden Rule

   

  THE LAW OF LOVE

       “First, love God your Creator more than anything

        else. Then, love all other people the same as you

        love yourself.”

                     (Based on Matthew 22:35-40, restated in Mark

                     12:28-31 and Luke 10:25-28. The idea of all people

                     as neighbors is explained in Luke 10:29-37)

                “Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord

                 thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul,

                 and with all thy mind. This is the first and great

                 commandment.” (Matthew 22:37-38 KJV)

                “And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy

                 neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang

                 all the law and the prophets. (Matthew 22:39-40 KJV)

        

   THE TEN COMMANDMENTS

   Throughout the Old Testament, there are hundreds of “commandments,”

   covering all parts of life. Collectively, these make up “the Law” of

   the Old Covenant.

   

   However, one group of commandments is very special, and it is known as

   “the commandments.” That is the Ten Commandments, dictated by God,

   written in stone, and given to all people forever. The people of

   Israel placed The Ten Commandments first, separate and distinct above

   all others.

   

   Most of The Law of the Old Covenant no longer applies to Christians

   under the New Covenant (See Hebrews 8:13, etc.) However, the Ten

   Commandments still apply, because they were ratified by Jesus in Mark

   10:19 and Luke 18:20 when He said, “You know the commandments.”

   

   The Ten Commandments are given in two different places in the Bible,

   once in Exodus 20:1-17 and once in Deuteronomy 5:6-22. The content is

   the same in both places.

   Here is the modern restatement of The Ten Commandments. After this is

   the translation of the original text.

 

             The Ten Commandments: Modern Restatement

     1. “Do not put anything ahead of God your Creator.”

     2. “Do not make or worship idols.”

     3. “Do not take the name of God in vain.”

     4. “Take one day of complete rest each week, in honor of God.”

     5. “Honor your father and your mother.”

     6. “Do not commit murder.”

     7. “Do not commit adultery.”

     8. “Do not steal.”

     9. “Do not tell lies against anyone.”

    10. “Do not covet other people’s possessions.”

                    (Based on Exodus 20:1-17, restated in

                    Deuteronomy 5:6-22. Jesus did not specifically

                    restate commandments 2, 3, 4 or 10, but it was

                    understood that He endorsed and followed all of the

                    Ten Commandments.)

   

             EXODUS 20:1-17 (KJV)

                             The Ten Commandments

             1

                    And God spake all these words, saying,

             2

                    I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of

                    the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

             3

                    Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

             4

                    Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or

                    any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or

                    that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water

                    under the earth.

                    NOTE: “Graven images” here means idols, not all

                           drawings or statues, as some have mistakenly

                           believed. If statues were prohibited, then

                           the two angel statues on the Ark Of The

                           Covenant would have been prohibited.

                           (See Exodus 25:18-20)

             5

                    Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve

                    them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God,

                    visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the

                    children unto the third and fourth generation of them

                    that hate me;

             6

                    And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love

                    me, and keep my commandments.

             7

                    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.

             8

                    Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

             9

                    Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:

             10

                    But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy

                    God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy

                    son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy

                    maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is

                    within thy gates:

             11

                    For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the

                    sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh

                    day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and

                    hallowed it.

             12

                    Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may

                    be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth

                    thee.

             13

                    Thou shalt not kill.

                 NOTE: This is a prohibition against private killing,

                       not against killing in war or as punishment for

                       breaking the law. God specifically authorized

                       killing in war (see Deuteronomy 7:2, etc.)

                       and killing as punishment for certain crimes

                       (see Deuteronomy 13:9, etc.)

             14

                    Thou shalt not commit adultery.

             15

                    Thou shalt not steal.

             16

                    Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy

                    neighbour.

             17

                    Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou

                    shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his

                    manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his

                    ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s.

                                    *     *     *

                   “And all the people saw the thunderings, and the

                    lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the

                    mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they

                    removed, and stood afar off.” (Exodus 20:18 KJV)

  

THE GOLDEN RULE

     “Treat Others As You Would Like To Be Treated.”

                  (Based on Matthew 7:12, restated in Luke 6:31)

                “Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men

                 should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is

                 the law and the prophets.” (Matthew 7:12 KJV)

 

The Other Commandments Of Jesus

        1. “FORGIVE EVERYBODY OF ALL THEIR OFFENSES AGAINST YOU.”

            (Forgive, and be forgiven.)

            As you forgive other people, God will forgive you.

             

                 “And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our

                  debtors.” (Matthew 6:12 KJV)

                 “And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have

                  ought against any: that your Father also which 

                  in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

                 “But if ye do not forgive, neither will your

                  Father which is in heaven forgive your 

                  trespasses.” (Mark 11:25-26 KJV)

        2. “YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN.”

            Being “born again” means casting off the spirit of the

            flesh and taking on the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit,

            Who is given by the grace of God to those who believe

            in Jesus Christ as the only-begotten Son of God, risen

            from the dead. 

            

              “Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born

               again.” (John 3:7 KJV)

       3. “ABIDE IN ME, AND LET ME ABIDE IN YOU.”

          

           When you accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour, 

           His Holy Spirit moves into your heart. He actually lives

           in you, and you live in Him.

             “Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear

              fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more

              can ye, except ye abide in me.” (John 15:4 KJV)

       4. “LET PEOPLE SEE YOUR GOOD WORKS.”
                (Do not hide your light under a basket.)

           “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see

            see your good works, and glorify your Father which is

            in heaven.” (Matthew 5:16 KJV; see also Matthew 5:15)

       5. “END DISPUTES QUICKLY.”

           “Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art

            in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary

            deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee

            to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.”

            (Matthew 5:25 KJV)

       6. “WHATEVER CAUSES YOU TO SIN, GET RID OF IT.”

                   “And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and

                    cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that

                    one of thy members should perish, and not that thy

                    whole body should be cast into hell.

                   “And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and

                    cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that

                    one of thy members should perish, and not that thy

                    whole body should be cast into hell.”

                                (Matthew 5:29-30 KJV)

       7. “DO NOT SWEAR OATHS AT ALL.”

                   “But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by

                    heaven; for it is God’s throne:

             

                   “Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by

                    Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.

             

                   “Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou

                    canst not make one hair white or black.

             

                   “But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay:

                    for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.”

                              (Matthew 5:34-37 KJV)

       8. “DO NOT RETURN OFFENSE FOR OFFENSE.” (Turn the other cheek.)

              “Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an

               eye, and a tooth for a tooth:

            

              “But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but

               whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn

               to him the other also.”

                      (Matthew 5:38-39 KJV)

       9. “GIVE WHAT PEOPLE ASK OF YOU, AND GIVE MORE THAN IS REQUIRED.”

           (Go the extra mile.)

             

                   “And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take

                    away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.

             

                   “And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with

                    him twain.

             

                   “Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would

                    borrow of thee turn not thou away.”

                                 (Matthew 5:40-42 KJV)

     

      10. “LOVE YOUR ENEMIES AND THOSE WHO WORK AGAINST YOU.”

             

                   “But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them

                    that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and

                    pray for them which despitefully use you, and

                    persecute you;

             

                   “That ye may be the children of your Father which is

                    in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil

                    and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on

                    the unjust.”

                         (Matthew 5:43-45 KJV)

      11. “GIVE TO THE POOR TO PLEASE GOD, NOT TO GAIN APPROVAL

           FROM OTHER PEOPLE.”

             “Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to

              be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your

              Father which is in heaven.” (Matthew 6:1 KJV)

 

      12. “PRAY PRIVATELY AND SIMPLY, NOT TO IMPRESS OTHER PEOPLE.”

         “And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are:

          for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the

          corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I

          say unto you, They have their reward.

   

         “But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when

          thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret;

          and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

   

         “But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do:

          for they think that they shall be heard for their much

          speaking.”

          (Matthew 6:5-7 KJV)

     

      13. “MAKE YOUR PRAYERS BE LIKE THE LORD’S PRAYER.”

          After this manner therefore pray ye:

          Our Father which art in heaven,

          Hallowed be thy name.

          Thy kingdom come,

          Thy will be done in earth,

          As it is in heaven.

          Give us this day our daily bread.

          And forgive us our debts,

          As we forgive our debtors.

          And lead us not into temptation,

          But deliver us from evil:

          For thine is the kingdom,

          And the power,

          And the glory,

          For ever.

                          Amen.

               (Matthew 6:9-15 KJV)

           

      14. “WHEN YOU FAST, DO IT SECRETLY, NOT FOR SHOW.”

         “Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad

          countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may

          appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their

          reward.” (Matthew 6:16)

   

      15. “STORE UP YOUR TREASURES IN HEAVEN, NOT ON EARTH.”

   

         “Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and

          rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

   

         “But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither

          moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break

          through nor steal:

   

         “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”

                     (Matthew 6:19-21)

 

      16. “DO NOT WORRY ABOUT YOUR MATERIAL NEEDS.”

          

         “Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what

          ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body,

          what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the

          body than raiment?

   

         “Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they

          reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth

          them. Are ye not much better than they?”

                 (Matthew 6:25-26 KJV)  

 

     17. “DO NOT WORRY ABOUT THE FUTURE.”

         “Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall

          take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day

          is the evil thereof.” (Matthew 6:34 KJV)

 

     18. “MAKE GOD YOUR HIGHEST PRIORITY, AND HE WILL TAKE CARE OF

          ALL YOUR NEEDS.”

             “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his

              righteousness; and all these things shall be

              added unto you.” (Matthew 6:33 KJV)

 

     19. “DO NOT JUDGE OTHER PEOPLE.” (Judge not, lest ye be judged.)

         “Judge not, that ye be not judged.

   

         “For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with

          what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.” (Matthew 7:1-2 KJV) 

 

          So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and

          said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first

          cast a stone at her. (John 8:7 KJV)

          

      20. “DO NOT GIVE HOLY THINGS TO DOGS OR CAST YOUR PEARLS 

           BEFORE SWINE.”

              “Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye

               your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under

               their feet, and turn again and rend you.”

               (Matthew 7:6 KJV)

      21. “ASK GOD FOR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO HAVE.” (Seek, and ye

           shall find.)

             “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find;

              knock, and it shall be opened unto you:” (Matthew 7:7 KJV)

      22. “FEED THE HUNGRY, CLOTHE THE NAKED, SHELTER THE HOMELESS,

           COMFORT THOSE IN DISTRESS.”

       

               

              “Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come,

               ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for

               you from the foundation of the world:

       

              “For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty,

               and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

        

              “Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I

               was in prison, and ye came unto me.

                        (Matthew 25:34-36 KJV)

      23. “FOLLOW THE NARROW PATH TO LIFE.” (Enter by the narrow gate.)

           The wide gate is the gate you simply stumble through, when you

           are not paying attention. 

                                         

         “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad

          is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be

          which go in thereat:

  

         “Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which

          leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.”

                 (Matthew 7:13-14 KJV)

      24. “BEWARE OF FALSE PROPHETS.”

            “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s

             clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.”

             (Matthew 7:15 KJV)

      

      25. “EXERCISE POWER OVER UNCLEAN SPIRITS.”

            

           “And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples,

            he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out,

            and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.”

            (Matthew 10:1 KJV)

           “Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast

            out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.”

            (Matthew 10:8 KJV)

      26.  “LOVE LITTLE CHILDREN, DO NOT DESPISE THEM.”

           “Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; 

            for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do

            always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.”

            (Matthew 18:10 KJV)

             

      27. “DO NOT TAKE THE TITLES ‘MASTER’ OR ‘FATHER’ FOR YOURSELF.”

                   “But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master,

                    even Christ; and all ye are brethren.

             

                   “And call no man your father upon the earth: for one

                    is your Father, which is in heaven.

            

                   “Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master,

                    even Christ.

            

                   “But he that is greatest among you shall be your

                    servant.

            

                   “And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased;

                    and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.”

                               (Matthew 23:8-12 KJV)

      28. “RESOLVE DISPUTES IN AN ORDERLY WAY, LIKE THIS . . . ”

             

                   “Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee,

                    go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone:

                    if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.

            

                   “But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one

                    or two more, that in the mouth of two or three

                    witnesses every word may be established.

             

                   “And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto

                    the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let

                    him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.”

                                 (Matthew 18:15-17 KJV)

      29. “DO NOT OPPOSE OTHER BELIEVERS IN CHRIST WHO ARE NOT IN YOUR

           GROUP.”

                   “And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one

                    casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not

                    us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.

             

                   “But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man

                    which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly

                    speak evil of me.

             

                   “For he that is not against us is on our part.”

                             (Mark 9:38-40 KJV)            

      30. “HAVE TOTAL FAITH IN GOD FOR EVERYTHING.”

            

                   “And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in

                    God.

            

                   “For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say

                    unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast

                    into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but

                    shall believe that those things which he saith shall

                    come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

            

                   “Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye

                    desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them,

                    and ye shall have them.”

                                 (Mark 11:22-24 KJV)

      31. “BE LIKE THE GOOD SAMARITAN.” (Go, and do likewise.)

             “Then Jesus said unto him, Go, and do thou

              likewise.” (Luke 10:37b KJV) 

             This was in reference to the Parable Of The

             Good Samaritan, who helped and took care of

             a man who had been attacked by robbers.

             (See Luke 10:30-35)

             

      32. “LOVE OTHER PEOPLE AS I HAVE LOVED YOU”

           “This is my commandment, That ye love one another,

            as I have loved you.” (John 15:12 KJV)

                 NOTE: This one commandment summarizes

                 all the others.

      33. “EAT BREAD AND DRINK WINE IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME.”

           “And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and

            gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given

            for you: do this in remembrance of me. Likewise also 

            the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new

            testament in my blood, which is shed for you.”

            (Luke 22:19-20 KJV)

      34. “WASH ONE ANOTHER’S FEET.”

           The full meaning of this dramatic command is for us

           to care for each other’s needs as if they were our own.

           He also wants us literally to wash each other’s feet.

            “If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye 

             also ought to wash one another’s feet.” (John 13:14 KJV)

      35. “BE MERCIFUL.”

          “Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.”

           (Luke 6:36 KJV)

          ” . . . for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.”

           (Luke 6:35b KJV)

          

      36. “GO AND TEACH ALL NATIONS, BAPTIZING THEM.”

          “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the

           name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

           Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have

           commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto

           the end of the world.” Amen. (Matthew 28:19-20 KJV)

      37. “KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS.”

         “If you love me, keep my commandments.” (John 14:15 KJV)

      38. “BE PREPARED FOR YOUR MASTER TO RETURN.”

          “Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh

           at an hour when ye think not.” (Luke 12:40 KJV)

               *                 *                  *

May the Lord bless this presentation of His holy Word.

Amen.

Jesus Can Become Your Lord Right Now!

Beloved, you have now finished reading The Commandments Of Jesus. You now know what Jesus really teaches. If you love His teaching, you will love Him even more personally. You can have Him personally, dwelling inside you as your own personal Lord and Saviour, with you all the time. This is called “Salvation,” or “being saved,” or being “born again.”

The Scriptural requirements for Salvation are set forth in Romans 10:9.

      “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and

       shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the

       dead, thou shalt be saved.” (Romans 10:9 KJV)

Confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is your personal Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead: that’s all it takes to gain Salvation.

If any person prays this prayer out loud, sincerely believing these words, he has met the scriptural requirements for salvation. Jesus Christ will then come into his life as Lord and Saviour, as He promised.

                  “Personal Prayer Of Salvation”

              O Lord, I know that You are waiting here,

              For me to let You come into my life.

              I know that You are knocking on the door,

              And now I pray that You will enter in.

                       *         *        *

              I pray that You will come into my life,

              As Lord and Saviour, ruling over me.

              I know that You are truly Son of God,

              I know that You have risen from the dead,

              I know that only You can save my soul.

              I need Your guidance, and I need Your love;

              I want to follow everywhere You lead.

              I truly do repent of all my sins;

              I feel remorse for evil I have done;

              I know that only You can make me clean.

              I turn my back on sin and look to You.

              I am forgiving all who did me harm,

              As You are now forgiving all my sins.

              And now as I commit myself to You,

              I pray that You commit Yourself to me.

              I pray that You will take me as I am,

              And draw me, step-by-step, into Your arms.

              In Jesus’ holy name I pray, Amen.

                                 <><

Blessings to you in Jesus Christ, our Lord! If you said this prayer sincerely, you are now a Christian. Congratulations!

Now, what next? You have made the committment to Jesus, so what should you do now? Write to me and tell me! Then, go tell the first practicing Christian you can find. He (she) will know what to do next. And also please see . . .
