I recently listened to a sermon on the fourth commandment, in which it was explained that 1 Timothy 1:8-11 contains a reference to the Ten Commandments (with the 10th commandment being included in the "whatever else" portion, as follows:
But we know that the Law is good, if one uses it lawfully, realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the (1) ungodly and (2) sinners, for the (3) unholy and (4) profane, for (5) those who kill their fathers or mothers, for (6) murderers and (7) immoral men and homosexuals and (8) kidnappers and (9) liars and perjurers, and (10) whatever else is contrary to sound teaching, according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted.

Has anyone heard of this before? Does this interpretation hold weight?
 
The book "In Defense of the Decalogue : A Critique of New Covenant Theology"
by Richard Barcellos, takes this interpretation.
