Deuteronomy 5:18
"Neither shalt thou commit adultery."

Commentary

Matthew Henry Concise

📖

Summary

There is some variation here from Exodus 20 as between the Lord's prayer in Matthew 6 and Luke 77. It is more necessary that we tie ourselves to the things,

than to the words unalterably.

Reflection

In the resurrection of Christ we were brought into the glorious liberty of the children of God, with a mighty hand, and an outstretched arm. How sweet is it to

a soul truly distressed under the terrors of a broken law, to hear the mild and soul-reviving language of the gospel!

There is some variation here from Exodus 20 as between the Lord's prayer in Matthew 6 and Luke 77. It is more necessary that we tie ourselves to the things,

than to the words unalterably. The original reason for hallowing the sabbath, taken from God's resting from the work of creation on the seventh day, is not here mentioned. Though this ever remains in force, it is not the only reason. Here it is taken from Israel's deliverance out of Egypt; for that was typical of our redemption by Jesus Christ, in remembrance of which the Christian sabbath was to be observed. In the resurrection of Christ we were brought into the glorious liberty of the children of God, with a mighty hand, and an outstretched arm. How sweet is it to a soul truly distressed under the terrors of a broken law, to hear the mild and soul-reviving language of the gospel!
