# Question Answer
103 Can any man keep these Ten Commandments perfectly? No mere man, since the fall of Adam, ever did or can keep the Ten Commandments perfectly.
104 Of what use are the Ten Commandments to us? They teach us our duty, and show our need of a Saviour.

 

Can with perfection a man keep the Decalogue?
Can with perfection a man keep the Decalogue?
No, not a soul! Yet it serves as a pedagogue
Training us in our duty!

Are we cut loose from the noose of the Decalogue?
Are we cut loose from the noose of the Decalogue?
No, it is used to induce, as a pedagogue,
Sinners to seek the Saviour!
