Some translations of the Bible give the sixth commandment as "You shall not kill" and some as "You shall not commit murder." What is the difference, and is it important?
The famous King James translation uses the old-fashioned wording "Thou shalt" instead of "You shall," and this wording is often used when quoting or referring to the Ten Commandments.
