The Fourth Commandment

Sabbath: Counting the Commandments

5. The first commandment teaches us that there is but one God, and that we ought to worship him only. The second commands us not to make the image of any living creature to worship it. The third, that we must not swear by God in a false matter. The fourth, that we must keep the seventh day, by resting from all sorts of work. The fifth, that we must honor our parents. The sixth that we must abstain from murder. The seventh that we must not commit adultery. The eighth, that we must not be guilty of theft. The ninth, that we must not bear false witness. The tenth, that we must not admit of the desire of any thing that is another's.

The Sabbath and Fulfillment of the Law

The Sabbath has not always been recognized as the fourth commandment due to a difference in the way of counting: see the link reference at the bottom of Precedence.
