James 2:11

For he that said, Do not commit adultery The two commandments are chosen as standing first in the Second Table, the fifth being classed by most Jewish writers as belonging to the First, just as in Greek and Roman ethics, duty to parents came under the head of Ε ὐ σεβεία and Pietas, rather than under that of Justice (comp. 1 Timothy 5:4). This division is recognised by Josephus (Ant. iii. 6. § 6) and Philo (De Decal. i.), and falls in better than the common one with the pentadand duadgrouping that pervades the Law. It is singular that in all New Testament quotations from the Second Table "Thou shalt not commit adultery" precedes "Thou shalt not kill," Mark 10:19; Luke 18:20; Romans 13:9; and the order is made the subject of direct comment by Philo (De Decal. xii. 24). It may be inferred from this that there was, probably, a traditional order varying from that at present found in the Hebrew Pentateuch.
