Of course, the fourth commandment was "repeated" in the New Testament, that is, assuming you think that Jesus' sanction and corrective teachings respecting it are as normative as the rest of his doctrine. And elsewhere in the apostles; and see the book of Hebrews, e.g. 4:9.

Its amazing to me to note how there is more direct and indirect teaching by Jesus on this 4th commandment than on any other of the 10. And yet people quickly assert "I don't have to remember it."
