"Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh His name in vain." (Ex.20:7)
Most people [created in God's image] fail to understand and realize how truly hallowed, sacred and righteous God's name is.
In Jesus' "outline" for prayer, He instructs us to "acknowledge, honor and revere" the very name of the Father FIRST... before we proceed any further:
" AFTER THIS MANNER THEREFORE PRAY YE: Our Father which art in heaven, HALLOWED BE THY NAME..." (Matt.6:9).
All of God's Commandments are "spiritual" laws [Rom.7:14]... and it's our "attitudes" [spirit] from which the seeds of our sins are sown.
The act of "murder" is a sin by the Commandment... but Jesus magnified it to reveal that the "act of murder" begins with an "angry thought."
Thus, does our slumbering, negligent, casual and careless "attitudes" toward God's Sovereign and Sacred name create a spirit within us of "irreverence" and "disrespect" toward Him... which leaves us wide open to the transgression of the other Commandments.
On the "carnal minded" surface of human reasoning... the third Commandment sounds "unimportant" and meaningless to most men... certainly not worth the "death penalty." We wonder why it's even listed... and why there aren't just nine Commandments.
But it's one of the ten irrevocable laws of our Creator that defines sin [I John 3:4] the violation and transgression of which God is gravely and deadly serious.

Is cheating a venial sin?
The question is ambiguous. Cheating on what? Tic-tac-toe? The bar exam? Your wife? This would affect the gravity of the sin. Cheating on your wife is Adultery. It is clearly against the Commandment. It is ALWAYS a Mortal Sin. In the other types of cheating mentioned, gravity of the sin is relational to the gravity of the act. I would say that cheating on an important test is a Mortal Sin.
