Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Exodus 20:8

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

8. Remember the sabbath day —implying it was already known, and recognized as a season of sacred rest. The first four commandments [ :- ] comprise our duties to God—the other six [ :- ] our duties to our fellow men; and as interpreted by Christ, they reach to the government of the heart as well as the lip ( Matthew 5:17 ). "If a man do them he shall live in them" [ Leviticus 18:5 ; Nehemiah 9:29 ]. But, ah! what an if for frail and fallen man. Whoever rests his hope upon the law stands debtor to it all; and in this view every one would be without hope were not "the LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS" [ Jeremiah 23:6 ; Jeremiah 33:16 ] ( John 1:17 ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-18" class="com-number"
