14 τη δε ημερα τη εβδομη σαββατα κυριω τω θεω σου ου ποιησεις εν αυτη παν εργον συ και οι υιοι σου και η θυγατηρ σου ο παις σου και η παιδισκη σου ο βους σου και το υποζυγιον σου και παν κτηνος σου και ο προσηλυτος ο παροικων εν σοι ινα αναπαυσηται ο παις σου και η παιδισκη σου ωσπερ και συ


Commentary on this verse  

By Alexander Payne

Verse 14. But the holy state will then come in which the whole man is reduced to order by conjunction with the Lord; there will then be no more occasion to struggle against sin and falsity, either for the man's interior will or for his internal perception of what is good and true, or for his opinions of rectitude and wisdom in externals, or for his affection for these principles in natural things, or for his natural truths, or for any feeling or perception in the soul, or scientific in the understanding whereby the truths of the Church are introduced into the mind; that the subservient faculties of the soul may be at peace as well as the inner man himself. [Note.—When the soul is brought to the state signified by the Sabbath, every faculty will be at peace because all will work harmoniously in the Divine order.]
