Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

First Day of the Week

There is no argument that this verse does not support the theme "First Day of the Week," as it explicitly states "upon the first day of the week."

Sabbath Fulfilled or Changed

The verse describes a specific gathering on the first day of the week for a particular purpose (breaking bread and hearing Paul preach) and does not explicitly state or imply that this gathering replaced or fulfilled the Sabbath. The text simply records an event without making a theological statement about the Sabbath's status.

The Lords Day

The verse describes a specific gathering on the first day of the week, but it does not explicitly label this day as "the Lord's Day" or establish it as a universally recognized special day of worship distinct from the Sabbath.
