well the 10 commandments was an old testament law but it is still used as guidlines today! Sho Boraka said it best when he said!
"the law is a tutor that leads us to Christ (3:24) by faith justified and he gives us life"

1)WORSHIP ONLY GOD
2)DONT WORSHIP IDOLS
3)DONT USE GODS NAME IN VAIN
4)REMEMBER THE SABBATH TO KEEP IT HOLY(7TH DAY)
5)HONOR YOUR MOM AND DAD
6)DONT MURDER
7)DONT COMMIT ADULTERY
8)DONT STEAL
9)DONT(LIE)
10)DONT BE ANXIOUS OR LUST AFTER OTHER PEOPLES THINGS AND WIFE

WHICH ONE OF THESE DONT APPLY? if they all apply, that means we should follow them and they are still valid. 1John 3:4 says Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. WOULDNT THESE 10 BE THE LAW GOD SPEAKS ABOUT?

Love fulfills these commands, if you love GOD, you will not offend the first 4 commands, if you LOVE your neighbor, you will not offend your brother by doing the other 6. so if we LOVE we keep the 10 commandments.

LOVE helps us know GOD and do good toward our neighbor, like these 10 commands ask us to do. the bible says
1 John 2:
3)And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4)He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

John 14:15
If ye love me, keep my commandments.

John 14:24
He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.

whether we like it or not we still have to obey GOD, AND HIS WORD SHOULD BE LAW TO US. the 10 commandments never get outdated. IF WE LOVE HIM LETS KEEP HIS 10 COMMANDMENTS ALONG WITH ALL HIS WORDS AND SAYINGS

To use a played out phrase W W J D. What would Jesus do? Unfortunately Lucifer has deceived the whole world into thinking that there is a separation between the OT and the NT. What was the Bible of the New Testament Church? The Old Testament. Jesus said that He did not come to destroy the law or the prophets but he came that they may be fulfilled. It is only with the Holy Spirit that we can fulfill the law. But not the laws of sin and death, but the laws of life. So yes we are to establish the 10 commandments in our lives. Start with REMEMBER THE SABBATH (SHABBAT) AND KEEP IT HOLY (QADOSH). It is Lucifer who convinced the world that the Sabbath was changed from the 7th day to the first day of the week. Start there and the Holy Spirit will bless you with the understanding to grow from there. Jesus said if you love me you will keep my commandments. Think for a minute, just what were his commandments? All of them. So that also means no more porkchops.

Was Christ not sent because the law was impossible to keep? Was the law not perfect in it's self?

no thats not why he came?
Luke 1:5-6
5)THERE was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
6)And they were both righteous before God, walking in ALL the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.

It was always possible and this is why it was not possible for some.

Deuteronomy 32:20
20)And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faith.

Without faith it is impossible to please GOD, even in the old testament. Faith is what helped them Keep the law because God then empowered them with the strength to do it(Philippians 2:13
13)For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure).. just like He does for us now. The law does not save or justifies but obedience pleases God because it shows that we rather do what our LORD says than anything else.

Habakkuk 2:4
4)Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.

IT IS ALWAYS ABOUT FAITH

From Genesis to Malachi we see that man was not given up his way of living. Isaiah 61 speaks of the Good New of Salvation. The wording itself that you are looking for is not in the Bible literally.
