威斯敏斯特信條第21章
第二十一章 論基督教的禮拜和安息日
中文趙中輝版
一、人之本性指示一位在萬有之上的主宰，又有至上的主權，本為善，又向萬人行善的神，因此人當盡心、盡性、盡力、盡意敬畏、愛慕、讚美、求告、信靠、事奉他1。但敬拜真神，蒙他悅納的方法，就是他自己所設立的，又受他自己所啟示的旨意之限制，我們不可按人的想象和私見，撒但的提議，或以任何可見的表象，或其他非聖經所規定的方法來敬拜神2。
二、惟獨為父、子、聖靈的神當受宗教的敬拜3，天使、聖徒，或任何其他受造物都不當受敬拜4。人類墮落後的敬拜並不是沒有中保的，也不是憑着任何其他別的仲裁，乃惟獨以基督為中保5。
三、感謝的祈禱既為宗教禮拜的主要部份6，所以神吩咐萬人祈禱7，為求祈禱蒙垂聽，就必得奉聖子的名8，憑聖靈的幫助9，遵神的旨意10，以悟性、謙卑、熱心、信心、和恆心去求11；出聲祈禱時，就當用人所明白的言語12。
四、當為合理的事祈禱13，並為現存的，或將要生存的各等人祈禱14；但不可為死人祈禱15，也不可為那些明知犯必死之罪的人祈禱16。
五、以虔誠敬畏之心來誦讀聖經17；純正的講道18，以理解、信心，和敬虔來正當聽神的話而順服神19，心被恩感歌唱詩篇20。正當執行或按理領受基督所設立的聖禮，均為一般敬拜神的部份21；此外，如宗教的宣誓22、誓願23、嚴肅的禁食24，以及特殊時節的感恩等25，都當按時期與季節，以聖潔和敬虔的方式舉行26。
六、宗教禮拜中的祈禱以及其他任何部份，現今在福音時代，既不限於任何地域或任何方向，亦不因地域與方向而蒙悅納27；乃要隨地28以心靈和誠實敬拜神29，每日30在個人家中31，獨自在隱密處32；且更加嚴肅地在公共聚會中敬拜神。當神以其聖言或護理召聚公共聚會時，就不可漠不關心或故意忽略或放棄33。
七、按一般規定來說，為敬拜神而取出一適當分配的時間這件事，乃屬自然之理；所以神在聖經中以積極的、道德的，和永久命令，特別指定七日中的一日為安息，吩咐各世各代的萬人向他遵守此日為聖日34。這聖日從世界之始到基督復活之前為一周的末一日，自從基督復活之後，這日改為一周的頭一日35，這在聖經中稱為主日36，而且要繼續下去，此為基督教的安息日，直到世界之末37。
八、所以當向主守此安息日為聖，人人要適當準備自己的心，事先整頓日常用務，非但整日停止自己的工作、言談、思想、屬世的職務和消遣38，保守聖潔的安息；也要用全部時間舉行公私禮拜，並履行必須的與憐憫的義務39。

第二十一章 論崇拜和安息日
一．自然之光顯明有一位上帝，祂是 萬有的主宰，對萬物有至高的主權；祂本為善，並善待萬物；所以人 當盡心、盡性、盡力地敬畏、愛慕、讚美、求告、信賴、服事祂（羅1 :20；徒17:24；詩119:68；耶10:7；詩31:23；18:3；羅10:12；詩62:8；書24:14；可12:33）。但敬拜真上帝惟一蒙悅納的方法乃是由祂自己設立的，並限於祂自己所啟示的旨意，因此我們不可按照人的想像和設計，或撒但的建議，使用任 何有形的代表物或聖經所未吩咐的其他任何方法（申12:32；太15:9； 徒17:25；太4:9－10；申4:15－20；出20:4－6；西2:23），去敬拜祂。
二．崇拜應歸於上帝父、子、聖靈；並且惟獨歸於祂（太4:10；約5:23；林後13:14），而不可歸給天使、聖徒或其他任何受造之物（西2:18；啟19:10；羅 1:25）；並且自從人墮落以來，只可借着一位中保敬拜上 帝；基督之外，別無中保（約14:6；提前2:5；弗2:18；西3:17）。
三．感恩的祈禱是崇拜的一個特別部分（腓4:6），是上帝向萬人所吩咐的（詩65:2）；為要祈禱蒙悅納，必須奉聖子的名（約14:13，14；彼前2:5），藉聖靈的幫助（羅8:26），照上帝的旨意（約壹5:14），用悟性、敬畏、謙卑、熱忱、信心、愛心和恆心去求（詩47:7；傳5:1－2；來 12:28；創18:27；雅5:16；1:6－7；可11:24；太6:12，14－15；西4:2 ；弗6:18）；若出聲祈禱，當用人明白的言語（林前14:14）。
四．我們祈求，是為合乎聖經之事（約壹5:14），是為現在和將來活在世上的人（提前2:1-2； 約17:20；撒下7:29；得4:12）；但不可為死人 祈禱（撒下12:21 －23；路16:25-26；啟14:13），也不可為那些明明犯了至於死的罪的人祈禱（約壹5:16）。
五．存虔誠敬畏之心誦讀聖經（徒15:21；啟1:3），講道純正（提後4:2），用悟性、信心和敬畏順服上帝而認真聽道（雅1:22；徒10:33；太 13:19；來4:2；賽66:2），心被恩感歌唱詩篇（西3:16；弗5:19；雅 5:13），以及正當舉行和按理領受基督所設立的聖禮，都 是宗教崇拜正常的一部分（ 太28:19；林前11:23－29；徒2:42）。此外，宗教的宣誓（申6:13；尼10:29），許願（賽19:21；傳5:4-5），在特殊時節下嚴肅的禁食（珥2:12；斯4:16；太9:15；林前7:5），和感恩，（詩107；斯9:22），都要各按其時，以聖潔敬虔的方式舉行（來12:28）。
六． 如今在福音時代，無論是祈禱，或是崇拜的其他部分，既不限於任何地方和任何方向，也不因舉行的地方或面對的方向而更蒙悅納（約4:21）；但要用心靈和誠實（約4:23－24），隨處敬拜上帝（瑪1:11；提前2:8）；每日（太6:11）在個人家庭中（耶10:25；申6:6-7；伯1:5；撒下6:18，20；彼前3:7；徒10 :2），獨自在隱密處，都要如此行（太6:6；弗6:18）；照樣在公共集會中更要嚴肅地敬拜上帝；當上帝借着祂的聖言或護理招聚公共聚會時，不可漠不關心，或故意忽略，或停止聚會（賽56:6-7；來 10:25；箴1:20-21，24；8:34；徒13:42；路4:16；徒2:42）。
七．一般而言，把適當的時間分別出來敬拜上帝，乃是自然之理；同樣，上 帝在聖經中用一種積極的、道德的、永久的誡命，特別指定七日的一日為安息日，要萬世萬代的人都向祂遵守此日為聖日（出20:8，10，11；賽 56:2－4，6，7）。這聖日從世界的起頭到基督的復活 都是一周的末一日；從基督的復活起，改為一周的第一日（創2:2，3；林前16:1-2；徒20:7），在聖經中稱為主日（啟1:10），而且要持守它作為基督徒的安息日，直到世界的末了（出20:8，10；太 5:17-18）。
八． 人人都當向主遵守這安息日為聖，要適當預備自己的心靈，提前調整日常事務，然後不僅要整日停止自己的工作及有關屬世職務和娛樂的言談與思想，守聖安息日（出20:8，16:23，25，26，29，30；31:15－17； 賽58:13；尼13:15－19，21-22），而且要 用全部時間，或同眾人，或在私下，舉行禮拜，並盡本分行必要和慈善的事（賽58:13；太12:1－13）。

21.1 自 然啟示之光顯示: 有一位上帝，掌管萬有、有至高主權 在 萬有之上、本為善、又向萬人行善，因此人當盡心、盡性、盡力、 盡意地敬畏、愛慕、讚美、求告、信靠、事奉祂。然而敬拜這位 真上帝，必須要按照祂自己設立的法則，限於祂自己啟示的旨意， 才可蒙祂悅納。所以我們不可按人的想像和發明，或撒但的提議， 或以任何可見的圖像作為代表，或任何其他非聖經所規定的方 法，來敬拜上帝。
21.2 虔誠敬拜是惟獨歸給聖父、聖子、聖靈，三一上帝，敬拜不 能歸給天使、聖徒、或任何其他受造物。自從人類墮落之後，只 有借着中保才能敬拜，也唯獨以基督為中保才能敬拜
21.3 以感謝來禱告 ， 是虔誠敬拜的主要部分，上帝吩咐萬人都要 禱告 。如果禱告要蒙悅納，就必得奉聖子的名、借着聖靈幫助、 遵上帝的旨意。禱告要用悟性、敬虔、謙卑、熱心、信心、愛心、 恆心，如果是出聲禱告，則必須要用人所明白的言語。
21.4 為事禱告，必須是合法的事；為人禱告，可以為各種各類的 人，但必須是現在活着的人，或未來將要出生的人；但不可為死 人禱告，也不可為那些明知已犯 了至於死的罪之人禱告。
21.5 敬拜上帝的崇拜聚會，內容通常包括下列項目: 以虔誠敬畏 的心誦讀聖經；純正的講道與誠心的聽道，皆以順服神的心，用 悟性、信心、敬虔的態度；心被恩感歌唱詩篇；合宜施行並按理 領受基督所設立的聖禮。此外，特殊場合與節期的崇拜聚會，可 加上其他項目，例如: 向神宣誓、許願、嚴肅的禁食、感恩等， 都當以聖潔敬虔的方式舉行。
21.6 今日福音時代，無論是禱告或崇拜的其他任何項目，舉行的 地點或朝向的方向皆不受限制，也不會因為聚會地方或朝向方向 的特別，就更蒙悅納；相反的，我們應該在任何地方，皆以心靈 和誠實敬拜上帝。我們敬拜上帝，應當每天在各人家庭中、在個 人的靈修中、以及在更加莊嚴的公共崇拜聚會中。上帝既然以祂 的聖道或護理呼召我們參加公共崇拜聚會，我們就不可無心或故 意忽視，甚至停止聚會。
21.7 總的來說，應當將適當比例的時間分別出來敬拜上帝，是受 造界之律；所以上帝在聖經中，以積極的、道德的、永遠的誡命， 特別指定七日中的一日為安息日，吩咐萬代所有的人，向祂守這 日為聖。從世界之始到基督復活之前，這所指定的安息日為一周 的末一日；自從基督復活之後，安息日改為一周的頭一日，在聖 經中稱為主日，而且這日要繼續下去，直到世界的末了，這是基 督徒的安息日。
21.8 這安息日是當向主守為聖日，人人事先適當預備自己的心、 安排好日常事務，在此聖日，要整日停止自己的屬世職務和消遣 有關的工作、言談、思想，來守聖潔的安息；不但如此，也要用 此日全部的時間參加公共崇拜或私下靈修敬拜，並履行必須與憐 憫的義務。

CHAPTER 21 OF RELIGIOUS WORSHIP, AND THE SABBATH DAY
1. The light of nature showeth that there is a God, who hath lordship and sovereignty over all, is good, and doth good unto all, and is therefore to be feared, loved, praised, called upon, trusted in, and served, with all the heart, and with all the soul, and with all the might. But the acceptable way of worshiping the true God is instituted by himself, and so limited by his own revealed will, that he may not be worshiped according to the imaginations and devices of men, or the suggestions of Satan, under any visible representation, or any other way not prescribed in the Holy Scripture.
2. Religious worship is to be given to God, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; and to him alone; not to angels, saints, or any other creature: and, since the fall, not without a Mediator; nor in the mediation of any other but of Christ alone.
3. Prayer, with thanksgiving, being one special part of religious worship, is by God required of all men: and, that it may be accepted, it is to be made in the name of the Son, by the help of his Spirit, according to his will, with understanding, reverence, humility, fervency, faith, love, and perseverance; and, if vocal, in a known tongue.
4. Prayer is to be made for things lawful; and for all sorts of men living, or that shall live hereafter: but not for the dead, nor for those of whom it may be known that they have sinned the sin unto death.
5. The reading of the Scriptures with godly fear, the sound preaching and conscionable hearing of the Word, in obedience unto God, with understanding, faith, and reverence, singing of psalms with grace in the heart; as also, the due administration and worthy receiving of the sacraments instituted by Christ, are all parts of the ordinary religious worship of God: beside religious oaths, vows, solemn fastings, and thanksgivings upon special occasions, which are, in their several times and seasons, to be used in an holy and religious manner.
6. Neither prayer, nor any other part of religious worship, is now, under the gospel, either tied unto, or made more acceptable by any place in which it is performed, or towards which it is directed: but God is to be worshiped everywhere, in spirit and truth; as, in private families daily, and in secret, each one by himself; so, more solemnly in the public assemblies, which are not carelessly or willfully to be neglected, or forsaken, when God, by his Word or providence, calleth thereunto.
7. As it is the law of nature, that, in general, a due proportion of time be set apart for the worship of God; so, in his Word, by a positive, moral, and perpetual commandment binding all men in all ages, he hath particularly appointed one day in seven, for a Sabbath, to be kept holy unto him: which, from the beginning of the world to the resurrection of Christ, was the last day of the week; and, from the resurrection of Christ, was changed into the first day of the week, which, in Scripture, is called the Lord's day, and is to be continued to the end of the world, as the Christian Sabbath.
8. This Sabbath is then kept holy unto the Lord, when men, after a due preparing of their hearts, and ordering of their common affairs beforehand, do not only observe an holy rest, all the day, from their own works, words, and thoughts about their worldly employments and recreations, but also are taken up, the whole time, in the public and private exercises of his worship, and in the duties of necessity and mercy.

Chapter XXI
Of Religious Worship, and the Sabbath Day
I. The light of nature shows that there is a God, who has lordship and sovereignty over all, is good, and does good unto all, and is therefore to be feared, loved, praised, called upon, trusted in, and served, with all the heart, and with all the soul, and with all the might.[1] But the acceptable way of worshipping the true God is instituted by Himself, and so limited by His own revealed will, that He may not be worshipped according to the imaginations and devices of men, or the suggestions of Satan, under any visible representation, or any other way not prescribed in the holy Scripture.[2]
II. Religious worship is to be given to God, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; and to Him alone;[3] not to angels, saints, or any other creature:[4] and, since the fall, not without a Mediator; nor in the mediation of any other but of Christ alone.[5]
III. Prayer, with thanksgiving, being one special part of religious worship,[6] is by God required of all men:[7] and, that it may be accepted, it is to be made in the name of the Son,[8] by the help of His Spirit,[9] according to His will,[10] with understanding, reverence, humility, fervency, faith, love and perseverance;[11] and, if vocal, in a known tongue.[12]
IV. Prayer is to be made for things lawful;[13] and for all sorts of men living, or that shall live hereafter:[14] but not for the dead,[15] nor for those of whom it may be known that they have sinned the sin unto death.[16]
V. The reading of the Scriptures with godly fear,[17] the sound preaching[18] and conscionable hearing of the Word, in obedience unto God, with understanding, faith and reverence,[19] singing of psalms with grace in the heart;[20] as also, the due administration and worthy receiving of the sacraments instituted by Christ, are all parts of the ordinary religious worship of God:[21] beside religious oaths,[22] vows,[23] solemn fastings,[24] and thanksgivings upon special occasions,[25] which are, in their several times and seasons, to be used in an holy and religious manner.[26]
VI. Neither prayer, nor any other part of religious worship, is now, under the Gospel, either tied unto, or made more acceptable by any place in which it is performed, or towards which it is directed:[27] but God is to be worshipped everywhere,[28] in spirit and truth;[29] as, in private families[30] daily,[31] and in secret, each one by himself;[32] so, more solemnly in the public assemblies, which are not carelessly or wilfully to be neglected, or forsaken, when God, by His Word or providence, calls thereunto.[33]
VII. As it is the law of nature, that, in general, a due proportion of time be set apart for the worship of God; so, in His Word, by a positive, moral, and perpetual commandment binding all men in all ages, He has particularly appointed one day in seven, for a Sabbath, to be kept holy unto him:[34] which, from the beginning of the world to the resurrection of Christ, was the last day of the week: and, from the resurrection of Christ, was changed into the first day of the week,[35] which, in Scripture, is called the Lord's Day,[36] and is to be continued to the end of the world, as the Christian Sabbath.[37]
VIII. This Sabbath is to be kept holy unto the Lord when men, after a due preparing of their hearts, and ordering of their common affairs beforehand, do not only observe an holy rest all the day from their own works, words, and thoughts about their worldly employments and recreations,[38] but also are taken up the whole time in the public and private exercises of His worship, and in the duties of necessity and mercy.[39]
證明經文
1 羅一20 自從造天地以來，神的永能和神性是明明可知的，雖是眼不能見，但借着所造之物，就可以曉得，叫人無可推諉。十12猶太人和希利尼人，並沒有分別。因為眾人同有一位主，他也厚待一切求告他的人。徒十七24因為你有些奇怪的事，傳到我們耳中。我們願意知道這些事是什麼意思。；詩一一九68你本為善，所行的也善。求你將你的律例教訓我。卅一23耶和華的聖民哪，你們都要愛他！耶和華保護誠實人，足足報應行事驕傲的人。十八3我要求告當讚美的耶和華，這樣我必從仇敵手中被救出來。六二8你們眾民當時時倚靠他，在他面前傾心吐意。 神是我們的避難所。〔細拉〕；耶十7萬國的王啊，誰不敬畏你？敬畏你本是合宜的；因為在列國的智慧人中，雖有政權的尊榮，也不能比你。書廿四14現在你們要敬畏耶和華，誠心實意地事奉他，將你們列祖在大河那邊和在埃及所事奉的神除掉，去事奉耶和華。可十二33 並且盡心、盡智、盡力愛他，又愛人如己，就比一切燔祭和各樣祭祀好得多。
2 申十二32凡我所吩咐的，你們都要謹守遵行，不可加添，也不可刪減。太十五9他們將人的吩咐當作道理教導人，所以拜我也是枉然。四9-10對他說：「你若俯伏拜我，我就把這一切都賜給你。耶穌說：「撒但（註：「撒但」就是「抵擋」的意思，乃魔鬼的別名）退去吧！因為經上記著說：『當拜主你的 神，單要事奉他。』」 徒十七25也不用人手服事，好像缺少甚麼；自己倒將生命、氣息、萬物賜給萬人。出廿4不可為自己雕刻偶像；也不可做甚麼形像彷佛上天、下地和地底下、水中的百物。5不可跪拜那些像；也不可事奉它，因為我耶和華你的 神，是忌邪的 神。恨我的，我必追討他的罪，自父及子，直到三四代；6愛我、守我誡命的，我必向他們發慈愛，直到千代。 西二23 這些規條使人徒有智慧之名，用私意崇拜，自表謙卑，苦待己身，其實在克制肉體的情慾上，是毫無功效。
3 太四10耶穌說：「撒但（註：「撒但」就是「抵擋」的意思，乃魔鬼的別名）退去吧！因為經上記著說：『當拜主你的神，單要事奉他。』」約五23叫人都尊敬子如同尊敬父一樣。不尊敬子的，就是不尊敬差子來的父。林後十三14願主耶穌基督的恩惠、 神的慈愛、聖靈的感動，常與你們眾人同在！；啟五11我們既知道主是可畏的，所以勸人。但我們在 神面前是顯明的，盼望在你們的良心裡也是顯明的。12我們不是向你們再舉薦自己，乃是叫你們因我們有可夸之處，好對那憑外貌不憑內心誇口的人，有言可答。13我們若果顛狂，是為 神；若果謹守，是為你們。
4 西二18不可讓人因著故意謙虛和敬拜天使，就奪去你們的獎賞。這等人拘泥在所見過的（註：有古卷作「這等人窺察所沒有見過的」），隨著自己的欲心，無故地自高自大；啟十九10我就俯伏在他腳前要拜他。他說：「千萬不可！我和你，並你那些為耶穌作見證的弟兄同是作僕人的。你要敬拜 神。因為預言中的靈意乃是為耶穌作見證。」 羅一25 他們將 神的真實變為虛謊，去敬拜事奉受造之物，不敬奉那造物的主。主乃是可稱頌的，直到永遠。阿們！
5 約十四6耶穌說：「我就是道路、真理、生命；若不藉著我，沒有人能到父那裡去。提前二5因為只有一位 神，在 神和人中間，只有一位中保，乃是降世為人的基督耶穌。弗二18你們得救是本乎恩，也因著信。這並不是出於自己，乃是 神所賜的； 西三17無論做甚麼，或說話、或行事，都要奉主耶穌的名，藉著他感謝父神。
6 腓四6應當一無掛慮，只要凡事藉著禱告、祈求和感謝，將你們所要的告訴神。
7 詩六十五2聽禱告的主啊，凡有血氣的都要來就你。
8 約十四13你們奉我的名無論求甚麼，我必成就，叫父因兒子得榮耀。14你們若奉我的名求甚麼，我必成就。彼前二5 你們來到主面前，也就像活石，被建造成為靈宮，作聖潔的祭司，藉著耶穌基督奉獻 神所悅納的靈祭。
9 羅八26 況且，我們的軟弱有聖靈幫助，我們本不曉得當怎樣禱告，只是聖靈親自用說不出來的嘆息替我們禱告。
10 約壹五14 我們若照他的旨意求甚麼，他就聽我們，這是我們向他所存坦然無懼的心。
11 詩四十七7因為 神是全地的王，你們要用悟性歌頌! 傳五1-有一個人，名叫亞拿尼亞，同他的妻子撒非喇賣了田產，2把價銀私自留下幾分，他的妻子也知道，其餘的幾分拿來放在使徒腳前。來十二28所以，我們既得了不能震動的國，就當感恩，照 神所喜悅的，用虔誠、敬畏的心事奉 神。創十八27亞伯拉罕說：「我雖然是灰塵，還敢對主說話。雅五16所以你們要彼此認罪，互相代求，使你們可以得醫治。義人祈禱所發的力量是大有功效的。一6隻要憑著信心求，一點不疑惑；因為那疑惑的人，就像海中的波浪，被風吹動翻騰。7這樣的人不要想從主那裡得甚麼。可十一24所以我告訴你們，凡你們禱告祈求的，無論是甚麼，只要信是得著的，就必得著。太六12門徒就出去傳道，叫人悔改；14耶穌的名聲傳揚出來。希律王聽見了，就說：「施洗的約翰從死里復活了，所以這些異能由他裡面發出來。」 15但別人說：「是以利亞。」又有人說：「是先知，正像先知中的一位。」 西四2你們要恆切禱告，在此警醒感恩；弗六18因為曉得各人所行的善事，不論是為奴的、是自主的，都必按所行的，得主的賞賜。
12 林前十四14 我若用方言禱告，是我的靈禱告，但我的悟性沒有果效。
13 約壹五14我們若照他的旨意求甚麼，他就聽我們，這是我們向他所存坦然無懼的心。
14 提前二1我勸你第一要為萬人懇求、禱告、代求、祝謝， 2為君王和一切在位的，也該如此，使我們可以敬虔、端正，平安無事地度日。約十七20我不但為這些人祈求，也為那些因他們的話信我的人祈求；撒下七29現在求你賜福與僕人的家，可以永存在你面前。主耶和華啊！這是你所應許的，願你永遠賜福與僕人的家。」得四12 願耶和華從這少年女子賜你後裔，使你的家像她瑪從猶大所生法勒斯的家一般。」
15 撒下十二21臣僕問他說：「你所行的是甚麼意思？孩子活著的時候，你禁食哭泣; 孩子死了，你倒起來吃飯。」 22大衛說：「孩子還活著，我禁食哭泣，因為我想，或者耶和華憐恤我，使孩子不死也未可知， 23孩子死了，我何必禁食？我豈能使他返回呢？我必往他那裡去，他卻不能回我這裡來。」路十六25亞伯拉罕說：『兒啊，你該回想你生前享過福，拉撒路也受過苦；如今他在這裡得安慰，你倒受痛苦。 26不但這樣，並且在你我之間，有深淵限定，以致人要從這邊過到你們那邊是不能的；要從那邊過到我們這邊也是不能的。』 啟十四13 我聽見從天上有聲音說：「你要寫下，從今以後，在主裡面而死的人有福了！」聖靈說：「是的，他們息了自己的勞苦，做工的果效也隨著他們。」
16 約壹五16 人若看見弟兄犯了不至於死的罪，就當為他祈求，神必將生命賜給他；有至於死的罪，我不說當為這罪祈求。
17 徒十五21因為從古以來，摩西的書在各城有人傳講，每逢安息日在會堂里誦讀。」 啟一3 念這書上預言的和那些聽見又遵守其中所記載的，都是有福的，因為日期近了。
18 提後四2務要傳道！無論得時不得時，總要專心，並用百般的忍耐，各樣的教訓，責備人，警戒人，勸勉人。
19 雅一22隻是你們要行道，不要單單聽道，自己欺哄自己。 徒十33所以我立時打發人去請你。你來了很好，現今我們都在神面前，要聽主所吩咐你的一切話。」 太十三19凡聽見天國道理不明白的，那惡者就來，把所撒在他心裡的奪了去，這就是撒在路旁的了； 來四2因為有福音傳給我們，像傳給他們一樣；只是所聽見的道與他們無益，因為他們沒有信心與所聽見的道調和。賽六十六2 耶和華說：「這一切都是我手所造的，所以就都有了。但我所看顧的，就是虛心（註：「虛心」原文作「貧窮」）痛悔、因我話而戰兢的人。
20 西三16當用各樣的智慧，把基督的道理豐豐富富地存在心裡（註：或作「當把基督的道理豐豐富富地存在心裡，以各樣的智慧」），用詩章、頌詞、靈歌，彼此教導，互相勸戒，心被恩感，歌頌 神。；弗五19當用詩章、頌詞、靈歌彼此對說，口唱心和地讚美主。雅五13你們中間有受苦的呢，他就該禱告；有喜樂的呢，他就該歌頌。
21 太廿八19所以，你們要去，使萬民作我的門徒，奉父、子、聖靈的名給他們施洗（註：或作「給他們施洗，歸於父、子、聖靈的名）。林前十一23-29我當日傳給你們的，原是從主領受的，就是主耶穌被賣的那一夜，拿起餅來，24祝謝了，就擘開，說：「這是我的身體，為你們舍的（註：「舍」有古卷作「擘開」）。你們應當如此行，為的是記念我。」 25飯後，也照樣拿起杯來，說：「這杯是用我的血所立的新約。你們每逢喝的時候，要如此行，為的是記念我。」 26你們每逢吃這餅，喝這杯，是表明主的死，直等到他來。27所以，無論何人不按理吃主的餅、喝主的杯，就是干犯主的身、主的血了。28人應當自己省察，然後吃這餅、喝這杯。29因為人吃喝，若不分辨是主的身體，就是吃喝自己的罪了。徒二42都恆心遵守使徒的教訓，彼此交接，擘餅，祈禱。
22 申六13你要敬畏耶和華你的神，事奉他，指著他的名起誓。尼十29都隨從他們貴胄的弟兄，發咒起誓，必遵行神藉他僕人摩西所傳的律法，謹守遵行耶和華我們主的一切誡命、典章、律例；
23 賽十九21耶和華必被埃及人所認識，在那日，埃及人必認識耶和華，也要獻祭物和供物敬拜他，並向耶和華許願還願。傳五4-你向 神許願，償還不可遲延，因他不喜悅愚昧人，所以你許的願應當償還。 5你許願不還，不如不許。徒十八18 保羅又住了多日，就辭別了弟兄，坐船往敘利亞去，百基拉、亞居拉和他同去。他因為許過願，就在堅革哩剪了頭髮。
24 珥二12耶和華說：「雖然如此，你們應當禁食、哭泣、悲哀，一心歸向我。」 斯四16「你當去招聚書珊城所有的猶大人，為我禁食三晝三夜，不吃不喝；我和我的宮女也要這樣禁食。然後我違例進去見王，我若死就死吧！」 太九15耶穌對他們說：「新郎和陪伴之人同在的時候，陪伴之人豈能哀慟呢？但日子將到，新郎要離開他們，那時候他們就要禁食。 林前七5 夫妻不可彼此虧負，除非兩相情願，暫時分房，為要專心禱告方可；以後仍要同房，免得撒但趁著你們情不自禁引誘你們。
25 詩一○七1-43（略）斯九22 以這月的兩日為猶大人脫離仇敵得平安、轉憂為喜、轉悲為樂的吉日。在這兩日設筵歡樂，彼此饋送禮物，周濟窮人。
26 來十二28 所以，我們既得了不能震動的國，就當感恩，照 神所喜悅的，用虔誠、敬畏的心事奉 神。
27 約四21 耶穌說：「婦人，你當信我。時候將到，你們拜父也不在這山上，也不在耶路撒冷。
28 瑪一11萬軍之耶和華說：「從日出之地到日落之處，我的名在外邦中必尊為大。在各處，人必奉我的名燒香，獻潔淨的供物。因為我的名在外邦中必尊為大。提前二8 我願男人無忿怒，無爭論（註：或作「疑惑」），舉起聖潔的手，隨處禱告。
29 約四23時候將到，如今就是了。那真正拜父的，要用心靈和誠實拜他，因為父要這樣的人拜他。 24神是個靈（註：或無「個」字），所以拜他的，必須用心靈和誠實拜他。」
30 耶十25願你將忿怒傾在不認識你的列國中，和不求告你名的各族上。因為他們吞了雅各，不但吞了，而且滅絕，把他的住處變為荒場。申六6我今日所吩咐你的話都要記在心上， 7也要殷勤教訓你的兒女，無論你坐在家裡，行在路上，躺下，起來，都要談論；伯一5筵宴的日子過了，約伯打發人去叫他們自潔。他清早起來，按著他們眾人的數目獻燔祭；因為他說：「恐怕我兒子犯了罪，心中棄掉 神。」約伯常常這樣行。撒下六18大衛獻完了燔祭和平安祭，就奉萬軍之耶和華的名給民祝福，20大衛回家要給眷屬祝福，掃羅的女兒米甲出來迎接他說：「以色列王今日在臣僕的婢女眼前露體，如同一個輕賤人無恥露體一樣，有好大的榮耀啊！」彼前三7你們作丈夫的也要按情理和妻子同住（註：「情理」原文作「知識」），因她比你軟弱（註：「比你軟弱」原文作「是軟弱的器皿」），與你一同承受生命之恩的，所以要敬重她。這樣，便叫你們的禱告沒有阻礙。徒十2 他是個虔誠人，他和全家都敬畏 神，多多周濟百姓，常常禱告神。
31 太六11我們日用的飲食，今日賜給我們。書廿四15 若是你們以事奉耶和華為不好，今日就可以選擇所要事奉的：是你們列祖在大河那邊所事奉的神呢？是你們所住這地的亞摩利人的神呢？至於我和我家，我們必定事奉耶和華。」
32 太六6你禱告的時候，要進你的內屋，關上門，禱告你在暗中的父，你父在暗中察看，必然報答你。弗六18 靠著聖靈，隨時多方禱告祈求，並要在此警醒不倦，為眾聖徒祈求，
33 賽五十六6還有那些與耶和華聯合的外邦人，要事奉他，要愛耶和華的名，要作他的僕人，就是凡守安息日不干犯、又持守他（註：原文作「我」）約的人。 7我必領他們到我的聖山，使他們在禱告我的殿中喜樂。他們的燔祭和平安祭，在我壇上必蒙悅納。因我的殿必稱為萬民禱告的殿！」來十25你們不可停止聚會，好像那些停止慣了的人，倒要彼此勸勉。既知道（註：原文作「看見」）那日子臨近，就更當如此。箴一20智慧在街市上呼喊，在寬闊處發聲， 21在熱鬧街頭喊叫，在城門口、在城中發出言語，24我呼喚，你們不肯聽從；我伸手，無人理會。八34聽從我，日日在我門口仰望，在我門框旁邊等候的，那人便為有福。徒十三42他們出會堂的時候，眾人請他們到下安息日再講這話給他們聽。二43眾人都懼怕。使徒又行了許多奇事、神跡。路四16耶穌來到拿撒勒，就是他長大的地方。在安息日，照他平常的規矩進了會堂，站起來要念聖經。
34 出廿8當記念安息日，守為聖日。10但第七日是向耶和華你 神當守的安息日。這一日你和你的兒女、僕婢、牲畜，並你城裡寄居的客旅，無論何工都不可做， 11因為六日之內，耶和華造天、地、海和其中的萬物，第七日便安息，所以耶和華賜福與安息日，定為聖日。；賽五十六2謹守安息日而不干犯，禁止己手而不作惡；如此行、如此持守的人便為有福。」4因為耶和華如此說：「那些謹守我的安息日，揀選我所喜悅的事，持守我約的太監，6還有那些與耶和華聯合的外邦人，要事奉他，要愛耶和華的名，要作他的僕人，就是凡守安息日不干犯、又持守他（註：原文作「我」）約的人。 7我必領他們到我的聖山，使他們在禱告我的殿中喜樂。他們的燔祭和平安祭，在我壇上必蒙悅納。因我的殿必稱為萬民禱告的殿！」
35 創二2到第七日， 神造物的工已經完畢，就在第七日歇了他一切的工，安息了。 3神賜福給第七日，定為聖日，因為在這日 神歇了他一切創造的工，就安息了。林前十六1論到為聖徒捐錢，我從前怎樣吩咐加拉太的眾教會，你們也當怎樣行。 2每逢七日的第一日，各人要照自己的進項抽出來留著，免得我來的時候現湊。徒廿7 七日的第一日，我們聚會擘餅的時候，保羅因為要次日起行，就與他們講論，直講到半夜。
36 啟一10 當主日，我被聖靈感動，聽見在我後面有大聲音如吹號，說：
37 出廿8當記念安息日，守為聖日。10但第七日是向耶和華你 神當守的安息日。這一日你和你的兒女、僕婢、牲畜，並你城裡寄居的客旅，無論何工都不可做；太五17莫想我來要廢掉律法和先知；我來不是要廢掉，乃是要成全。 18我實在告訴你們：就是到天地都廢去了，律法的一點一畫也不能廢去，都要成全。
38 出廿8當記念安息日，守為聖日。十六23摩西對他們說：「耶和華這樣說：『明天是聖安息日，是向耶和華守的聖安息日，你們要烤的就烤了，要煮的就煮了，所剩下的都留到早晨。』」25摩西說：「你們今天吃這個吧！因為今天是向耶和華守的安息日，你們在田野必找不著了。 26六天可以收取，第七天乃是安息日，那一天必沒有了。」29-你們看！耶和華既將安息日賜給你們，所以第六天他賜給你們兩天的食物，第七天各人要住在自己的地方，不許甚麼人出去。」 30於是，百姓第七天安息了。卅一15六日要做工，但第七日是安息聖日，是向耶和華守為聖的；凡在安息日做工的，必要把他治死。』 16故此，以色列人要世世代代守安息日為永遠的約。 17這是我和以色列人永遠的證據，因為六日之內耶和華造天地，第七日便安息舒暢。」 賽五十八13你若在安息日掉轉（註：或作「謹慎」）你的腳步，在我聖日不以操作為喜樂，稱安息日為可喜樂的，稱耶和華的聖日為可尊重的，而且尊敬這日，不辦自己的私事，不隨自己的私意，不說自己的私話；尼十三15那些日子，我在猶大見有人在安息日□酒（註：原文作「踹酒□」），搬運禾捆，馱在驢上，又把酒、葡萄、無花果和各樣的擔子，在安息日擔入耶路撒冷，我就在他們賣食物的那日，警戒他們。 16又有推羅人住在耶路撒冷，他們把魚和各樣貨物運進來，在安息日賣給猶大人。 17我就斥責猶大的貴胄說：「你們怎麼行這惡事，犯了安息日呢？ 18從前你們列祖豈不是這樣行，以致我們 神使一切災禍臨到我們和這城嗎？現在你們還犯安息日，使忿怒越發臨到以色列！」 19在安息日的前一日，耶路撒冷城門有黑影的時候，我就吩咐人將門關鎖，不過安息日不准開放。我又派我幾個僕人管理城門，免得有人在安息日擔甚麼擔子進城。21我就警戒他們說：「你們為何在城外住宿呢？若再這樣，我必下手拿辦你們。」從此以後，他們在安息日不再來了。 22我吩咐利未人潔淨自己，來守城門，使安息日為聖。我的 神啊，求你因這事記念我，照你的大慈愛憐恤我。
39 賽五十八13你若在安息日掉轉（註：或作「謹慎」）你的腳步，在我聖日不以操作為喜樂，稱安息日為可喜樂的，稱耶和華的聖日為可尊重的，而且尊敬這日，不辦自己的私事，不隨自己的私意，不說自己的私話；太十二1-13。那時，耶穌在安息日，從麥地經過。他的門徒餓了，就掐起麥穗來吃。法利賽人看見，就對耶穌說，看哪，你的門徒作安息日不可作的事了。耶穌對他們說，經上記着大衛和跟從他的人飢餓之時所作的事，你們沒有念過嗎？他怎麼進了神的殿，吃了陳設餅，這餅不是他和跟從他的人可以吃得，惟獨祭司才可以吃。再者，律法上所記的，當安息日，祭司在殿裡犯了安息日，還是沒有罪，你們沒有念過嗎？但我告訴你們，在這裡有一人比殿更大。我喜愛憐恤，不喜愛祭祀。你們若明白這話的意思，就不將無罪的，當作有罪的了。因為人子是安息日的主。耶穌離開那地方，進了一個會堂。那裡有一個人，枯乾了一隻手。有人問耶穌說，安息日治病，可以不可以。意思是要控告他。耶穌說，你們中間誰有一隻羊，當安息日掉在坑裡，不把他抓住拉上來呢？人比羊何等貴重呢。所以在安息日作善事是可以的。於是對那人說，伸出手來。他把手一伸，手就復了原，和那隻手一樣。
[1] ROM 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse. ACT 17:24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands. PSA 119:68 Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes. JER 10:7 Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee. PSA 31:23 O love the Lord, all ye his saints: for the Lord preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer. PSA 18:3 I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. ROM 10:12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. PSA 62:8 Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah. JOS 24:14 Now therefore fear the Lord, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the Lord. MAR 12:33 And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
[2] DEU 12:32 What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it. MAT 15:9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. ACT 17:25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things. MAT 4:9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. 10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. (see also DEU 4:15-20) EXO 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; 6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
[3] MAT 4:10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. JOH 5:23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. 2CO 13:14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.
[4] COL 2:18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind. REV 19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. ROM 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
[5] JOH 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 1TI 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. EPH 2:18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. COL 3:17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
[6] PHI 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
[7] PSA 65:6 Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded with power.
[8] JOH 14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. 1PE 2:5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
[9] ROM 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
[10] 1JO 5:14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us.
[11] PSA 47:7 For God is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding. ECC 5:1 Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil. 2 Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few. HEB 12:28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: GEN 17:27 And all the men of his house, born in the house, and bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him. JAM 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. JAM 1:6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. MAR 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. MAT 6:12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: 15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. COL 4:2 Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving; EPH 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.
[12] 1CO 14:14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.
[13] 1JO 5:14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us.
[14] 1TI 2:1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. JOH 17:20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word. 2SA 7:29 Therefore now let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee: for thou, O Lord God, hast spoken it: and with thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed for ever. RUT 4:12 And let thy house be like the house of Pharez, whom Tamar bare unto Judah, of the seed which the Lord shall give thee of this young woman.
[15] 2SA 12:21 Then said his servants unto him, What thing is this that thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child, while it was alive; but when the child was dead, thou didst rise and eat bread. 22 And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who can tell whether God will be gracious to me, that the child may live? 23 But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me. LUK 16:25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. 26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. REV 14:13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
[16] 1JO 5:16 If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.
[17] ACT 15:21 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day. REV 1:3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
[18] 2TI 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
[19] JAM 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. ACT 10:33 Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God. MAT 13:19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. HEB 4:2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. ISA 66:2 For all those things hath mine hand made, and those things have been, saith the Lord: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.
[20] COL 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. EPH 5:19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord. JAM 5:13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.
[21] MAT 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 1CO 11:23 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: 24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. 25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. 26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come. 27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. ACT 2:42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
[22] DEU 6:13 Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name. NEH 10:29 They clave to their brethren, their nobles, and entered into a curse, and into an oath, to walk in God's law, which was given by Moses the servant of God, and to observe and do all the commandments of the Lord our Lord, and his judgments and his statutes.
[23] ISA 19:21 And the Lord shall be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the Lord in that day, and shall do sacrifice and oblation; yea, they shall vow a vow unto the Lord, and perform it. ECC 5:4 When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed. 5 Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.
[24] JOE 2:12 Therefore also now, saith the Lord, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning. EST 4:16 Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish. MAT 9:15 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast. 1CO 7:5 Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.
[25] (PSA 107 throughout) EST 9:22 As the days wherein the Jews rested from their enemies, and the month which was turned unto them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning into a good day: that they should make them days of feasting and joy, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor.

JOB 1:5 And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually. 2SA 6:18 And as soon as David had made an end of offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts. 20 Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel to day, who uncovered himself to day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself! 1PE 3:7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.

HEB 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. PRO 1:20 Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets: 21 She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying. 24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded. PRO 8:34 Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors. ACT 13:42 And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.

ACT 2:42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
[34] EXO 20:8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. ISA 56:2 Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil. 4 For thus saith the Lord unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant. 6 Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the Lord, to serve him, and to love the name of the Lord, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant; 7 Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.
[35] GEN 2:2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. 1CO 16:1 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye. 2 Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come. ACT 20:7 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.

MAT 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
[38] EXO 20:8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. EXO 16:23 And he said unto them, This is that which the Lord hath said, To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the Lord: bake that which ye will bake to day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning. 25 And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a sabbath unto the Lord: to day ye shall not find it in the field. 26 Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none. 29 See, for that the Lord hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day. 30 So the people rested on the seventh day. EXO 31:15 Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. 16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant. 17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed. ISA 58:13 If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words. NEH 13:15 In those days saw I in Judah some treading wine presses on the sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and lading asses; as also wine, grapes, and figs, and all manner of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the sabbath day: and I testified against them in the day wherein they sold victuals. 16 There dwelt men of Tyre also therein, which brought fish, and all manner of ware, and sold on the sabbath unto the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem. 17 Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said unto them, What evil thing is this that ye do, and profane the sabbath day? 18 Did not your fathers thus, and did not our God bring all this evil upon us, and upon this city? yet ye bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning the sabbath. 19 And it came to pass, that when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the sabbath, I commanded that the gates should be shut, and charged that they should not be opened till after the sabbath: and some of my servants set I at the gates, that there should no burden be brought in on the sabbath day. 21 Then I testified against them, and said unto them, Why lodge ye about the wall? if ye do so again, I will lay hands on you. From that time forth came they no more on the sabbath. 22 And I commanded the Levites that they should cleanse themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to sanctify the sabbath day. Remember me, O my God, concerning this also, and spare me according to the greatness of thy mercy.
[39] ISA 58:13 If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words.
