One of the biblical lines that can be used to characterize the global activity of modern humanity is recorded in the Book of Genesis 6:5, it is a remark of Jesus with the following meaning – “the thoughts of their hearts were evil daily.” In the context of the fact that the modern world is full of violence, wars, treachery, revenge, meanness, ambition, etc. sinful deeds, this thesis seems quite true. Such relationships and conflicts generate suffering, oppression, disrespect and other negative consequences that spoil the lives of families, states and civilizations in general. In the course of the study, it was established that when the world was created, God gave people the right to freedom, which consists in the fact that they can choose ways of life development, self-government, etc. This principle was to play an important role in the relationship between mankind and the Creator.

It is determined that the principles that are based on the texts of the Bible, in particular the books of Exodus chapter 20 and Deuteronomy chapter 5, are universal for modern times. There is written the Decalogue, commonly known as the Ten Commandments. According to the findings of the study, he was supposed to become a measure of the righteousness of mankind.

It has been established that the issue of the Ten Commandments as the basis of moral education of a person still attracts Bible researchers, motivating the latter to establish or refute these bases in the context of eras, or on the contrary to affirm them. That is why, outlining the importance of studying the connotation of the Decalogue for the people of the 21st century. Is an actual scientific direction. The purpose of the research is to study the interpretation of the content of the Ten Commandments as a tool for moral education of the individual.
