New Testament Exhortation

 

First Commandment

Matthew 4:10 ...Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

1 John 5:21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.

First Commandment

I am the LORD thy God...Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

Second Commandment

Revelation 9:20 ...they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:

10:7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. 10:14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.

Romans 2:22 ...thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?

Romans 1:23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

Galatians 5:19-21 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these... Idolatry...as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Second Commandment

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them.

Third Commandment

Matthew 6:9 ...Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

Matthew 5:34-35 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.

Third Commandment

Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain.

Fourth Commandment

Though part of the meaning of Hebrews 4 regarding the rest means a rest from our own work to earn salvation, the seventh-day is mentioned as remaining and it also says that if

4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. 5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest. 6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief: 7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts. 8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. 9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. 10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. 11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

If the Seventh-day Sabbath was nailed to the cross, Hebrews 4 would be meaningless.  But Hebrews 4 still limits a certain day, the Seventh-day, and if Jesus had given another day, He would have said so.

Also:  Mat 24:20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:

The above verse proves that the Sabbath was still extant when the Jews fled in A.D. 66.  There would be no need to pray that one’s flight not be on the Sabbath if the Sabbath was done away with.  The Jews fled during a respite time prophesied by prophets of God.  Therefore, the argument that the gates of the city were locked on the Sabbath does not apply. 

Fourth Commandment

Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

Fifth Commandment

Ephesians 6:2 Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise;

Fifth Commandment

Sixth Commandment

Romans 2:22 Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery?...
