ARTICLE 3: THE THIRD COMMANDMENT Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work; but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God; in it you shall not do any work. 90 The sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath; so the Son of Man is lord even of the sabbath. 91

II. THE LORD'S DAY This is the day which the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. 103
