The Ten Commandments, which constitute an extraordinary path of life and indicate the surest way for living in freedom from slavery to sin, contain a privileged expression of the natural law. They “teach us the true humanity of man. They bring to light the essential duties, and therefore, indirectly, the fundamental rights inherent in the nature of the human person”[25]. They describe universal human morality. In the Gospel, Jesus reminds the rich young man that the Ten Commandments (cf. Mt 19:18) “constitute the indispensable rules of all social life”[26].
Amri Kumi, ambazo hufanyiza njia isiyo ya kawaida ya maisha na zinaonyesha njia ya hakika zaidi ya kuishi katika uhuru kutoka kwa utumwa wa dhambi, zina usemi wa upendeleo wa sheria ya asili. Zina “tufundisha ubinadamu wa kweli wa mwanadamu. Yanadhihirisha wajibu muhimu, na kwa hiyo, kwa njia isiyo ya moja kwa moja, haki za kimsingi zilizomo katika asili ya mwanadamu.”[25]. Wanaelezea maadili ya kibinadamu ya ulimwengu wote. Katika Injili, Yesu anamkumbusha yule kijana tajiri kwamba Amri Kumi (rej. Mt 19:18) “zinaunda kanuni za lazima za maisha yote ya kijamii”[26].
