In the New Testament, all of the commandments are repeated, not as commandments
but as exhortations to fufill the law of love, (because we are saved by grace
not by our deeds) all are repeated except the keeping of the sabbath. The book
of Hebrews typifies that day of rest to be symbolic of our rest in eternal
salvation. Read Galatians regarding the Law.
