1st Day of the Week in Scripture

"In the beginning, the first day was employed by God in the work
of creation. Gen. 1:1-5.
Throughout all the Old Testament history it was one of  the six working days. Eze. 46:1.
Throughout the New Testament it continues to be one of the six working days.
It was the day of Christ's resurrection; and Inspiration says specifically that "the Sabbath was past" when that "first day of the week" came. Mark 16:1, 2.

Inspiration called this first day merely by the ordinary secular name in common business use, with never a suggestion of attaching any sacredness to the day."
