6:151 Say, "Come let me tell you what your Lord has really prohibited for you: You shall not set up idols besides Him. You shall honor your parents. You shall not kill your children from fear of poverty - we provide for you and for them. You shall not commit gross sins, obvious or hidden. You shall not kill - GOD has made life sacred - except in the course of justice. These are His commandments to you, that you may understand."
Rashad Khalifa (The Final Testament)

End Notes
Muhammad Asad - The Message Of Quran
Muhammad Asad - End Note 7 (37:11)
I.e., out of primitive substances existing in their elementary forms in and on the earth (see surah 23, note 4) - substances which are as nothing when compared with the complexity of "the heavens and the earth and all that is between them": hence, man's individual resurrection is as nothing when compared with the creation of the multiform universe.
Muhammad Asad - End Note 8 (37:12)
I.e., at God's creative power as well as at the blind arrogance of those who deny it.
