Exodus 20:8-11 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.… The late Dr. Lockhart of the College Church, Glasgow, when travelling in England, was sojourning at an inn when the Sabbath came round. On entering the public-room, and about to set out for church, he found two gentlemen preparing for a game of chess. He addressed them in words to this affect, "Gentlemen, have you locked up your portmanteaus carefully?" "No! What! are there thieves in this house?" "I do not say that," replied the doctor, "only I was thinking that if the waiter comes in and finds you making free with the Fourth Commandment, he may think of making free with the Eighth." The gentlemen said there was something in that, and so laid aside their game. Parallel Verses KJV: Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. |
