It's<00:00:32.039><c> not</c><00:00:32.240><c> moving</c><00:00:32.579><c> at</c><00:00:32.880><c> all.</c>

00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:35.899
Oh.

00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:49.000

00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:50.560
Let's<00:00:49.320><c> see,</c><00:00:49.520><c> oh,</c><00:00:49.659><c> maybe</c><00:00:49.799><c> it</c><00:00:49.939><c> didn't</c><00:00:50.060><c> start</c><00:00:50.380><c> yet.</c>

00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:51.539
Okay.

00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:20.200
It's<00:01:18.040><c> not</c><00:01:18.120><c> moving.</c>

00:01:24.019 --> 00:01:25.219

See,<00:01:38.420><c> recording.</c>

00:01:38.819 --> 00:01:40.480
Oh.

00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:48.040
The<00:01:43.920><c> Apostle</c><00:01:44.500><c> Paul</c><00:01:44.819><c> was</c><00:01:45.340><c> writing</c><00:01:45.780><c> to</c><00:01:46.060><c> a</c><00:01:46.219><c> community,</c><00:01:47.459><c> which</c><00:01:47.579><c> was</c><00:01:47.819><c> a</c>

00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:49.540
divided<00:01:48.359><c> community.</c>

00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:52.480
It<00:01:49.920><c> was</c><00:01:50.140><c> divided</c><00:01:50.519><c> because</c><00:01:50.980><c> there</c><00:01:51.200><c> were</c><00:01:51.420><c> Gentiles</c><00:01:52.120><c> and</c><00:01:52.359><c> there</c>

00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:58.000
The<00:01:54.359><c> Gentiles</c><00:01:55.099><c> had</c><00:01:55.560><c> apparently</c><00:01:56.319><c> not</c><00:01:56.700><c> been</c><00:01:56.900><c> unable</c><00:01:57.260><c> to</c><00:01:57.680><c> shake</c>

00:02:04.620 --> 00:02:07.739
there<00:02:05.140><c> were</c><00:02:05.379><c> problems</c><00:02:05.900><c> there</c><00:02:06.219><c> that</c><00:02:06.519><c> manifested</c><00:02:06.980><c> themselves</c>

00:02:07.739 --> 00:02:10.039

00:02:14.979 --> 00:02:18.639
Probably<00:02:15.379><c> not</c><00:02:15.740><c> exclusive</c><00:02:16.379><c> to</c><00:02:16.599><c> the</c><00:02:16.740><c> Gentiles,</c><00:02:17.300><c> but</c><00:02:17.599><c> it</c><00:02:17.860><c> was</c><00:02:18.060><c> the</c><00:02:18.219><c> way</c><00:02:18.379><c> of</c>

00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:21.099
life<00:02:18.840><c> that</c><00:02:19.080><c> they'd</c><00:02:19.400><c> been</c><00:02:19.539><c> used</c><00:02:19.780><c> to</c><00:02:19.879><c> in</c><00:02:20.039><c> the</c><00:02:20.219><c> past.</c>

00:02:21.699 --> 00:02:24.979
And<00:02:21.919><c> on</c><00:02:22.020><c> the</c><00:02:22.159><c> other</c><00:02:22.360><c> hand,</c><00:02:22.620><c> there</c><00:02:22.800><c> were</c><00:02:23.400><c> the</c><00:02:23.659><c> Jews,</c><00:02:23.860><c> of</c><00:02:24.099><c> course.</c>

00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:28.139
Most<00:02:25.379><c> of</c><00:02:25.560><c> them</c><00:02:25.699><c> coming</c><00:02:26.000><c> from</c><00:02:26.180><c> a</c><00:02:26.319><c> very</c><00:02:26.800><c> narrow</c><00:02:27.139><c> background.</c>

00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:29.740
We<00:02:28.520><c> are</c><00:02:28.919><c> God's</c><00:02:29.400><c> people.</c>

00:02:29.740 --> 00:02:35.680
God<00:02:30.680><c> chose</c><00:02:31.180><c> us</c><00:02:31.580><c> because</c><00:02:32.180><c> He</c><00:02:33.280><c> saw</c><00:02:33.659><c> in</c><00:02:33.780><c> us</c><00:02:33.979><c> something</c><00:02:34.319><c> very</c><00:02:34.719><c> special.</c>

00:02:35.939 --> 00:02:38.460
That's<00:02:36.259><c> not</c><00:02:36.439><c> true,</c><00:02:36.599><c> of</c><00:02:36.800><c> course,</c><00:02:37.039><c> but</c><00:02:37.439><c> they</c><00:02:37.800><c> thought</c><00:02:38.000><c> that</c><00:02:38.159><c> there</c><00:02:38.280><c> was</c>

00:02:38.460 --> 00:02:39.780
something<00:02:38.740><c> special</c><00:02:39.259><c> in</c><00:02:39.460><c> them.</c>

00:02:40.219 --> 00:02:42.419
They<00:02:40.400><c> didn't</c><00:02:40.620><c> realize</c><00:02:40.960><c> that</c><00:02:41.159><c> God</c><00:02:41.340><c> wanted</c><00:02:41.580><c> to</c><00:02:41.879><c> make</c><00:02:42.139><c> them</c>

00:02:42.419 --> 00:02:43.469
something<00:02:42.680><c> special.</c>

00:02:43.500 --> 00:02:45.680
They<00:02:43.740><c> thought</c><00:02:43.979><c> they</c><00:02:44.240><c> were</c><00:02:44.500><c> special,</c><00:02:44.879><c> and</c><00:02:45.020><c> that's</c><00:02:45.240><c> why</c><00:02:45.439><c> God</c>

00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:46.479
chose<00:02:46.060><c> them.</c>

00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:49.900
And<00:02:47.240><c> so</c><00:02:47.479><c> the</c><00:02:47.919><c> Ecclesia</c><00:02:48.259><c> became</c><00:02:48.659><c> divided</c><00:02:49.120><c> into</c><00:02:49.379><c> two</c><00:02:49.639><c> groups,</c>

00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:52.819
and<00:02:50.219><c> they</c><00:02:50.460><c> started</c><00:02:50.780><c> giving</c><00:02:51.099><c> names</c><00:02:51.500><c> to</c><00:02:51.699><c> each</c><00:02:51.939><c> other.</c>

00:02:53.819 --> 00:02:57.479
The<00:02:54.060><c> Jews</c><00:02:54.379><c> called</c><00:02:54.759><c> the</c><00:02:54.979><c> Gentiles</c><00:02:55.900><c> uncircumcision.</c>

00:02:57.860 --> 00:02:59.939
Not<00:02:58.300><c> a</c><00:02:58.439><c> very</c><00:02:58.639><c> nice</c><00:02:58.860><c> sort</c><00:02:59.039><c> of</c><00:02:59.139><c> epithet.</c>

00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:03.139
So<00:03:00.319><c> the</c><00:03:00.479><c> Gentiles</c><00:03:00.960><c> responded</c><00:03:01.419><c> and</c><00:03:01.740><c> said</c><00:03:02.159><c> circumcision.</c>

00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:06.979
So<00:03:03.680><c> we</c><00:03:03.840><c> had</c><00:03:04.039><c> two</c><00:03:04.319><c> groups</c><00:03:04.680><c> with</c><00:03:05.639><c> two</c><00:03:06.000><c> names.</c>

00:03:08.060 --> 00:03:10.979
But<00:03:08.219><c> you</c><00:03:08.340><c> know,</c><00:03:08.520><c> once</c><00:03:08.879><c> you</c><00:03:09.159><c> start</c><00:03:09.439><c> developing</c><00:03:10.039><c> that</c><00:03:10.639><c> sort</c><00:03:10.819><c> of</c>

00:03:10.979 --> 00:03:13.680
attitude,<00:03:12.280><c> it's</c><00:03:12.659><c> almost</c><00:03:13.180><c> inevitable.</c>

00:03:13.860 --> 00:03:16.099
I<00:03:13.979><c> was</c><00:03:14.180><c> going</c><00:03:14.280><c> to</c><00:03:14.439><c> say</c><00:03:14.560><c> inevitable,</c><00:03:15.080><c> but</c><00:03:15.259><c> I</c><00:03:15.400><c> thought</c><00:03:15.479><c> if</c><00:03:15.620><c> I</c><00:03:15.740><c> didn't</c><00:03:15.879><c> put</c>

00:03:16.099 --> 00:03:17.039
the<00:03:16.219><c> word</c><00:03:16.360><c> almost</c><00:03:16.780><c> in,</c>

00:03:17.219 --> 00:03:18.960
someone<00:03:17.340><c> might</c><00:03:17.680><c> cite</c><00:03:17.840><c> a</c><00:03:18.020><c> case</c><00:03:18.139><c> where</c><00:03:18.319><c> it</c><00:03:18.460><c> didn't</c><00:03:18.620><c> happen.</c>

00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:22.599
But<00:03:19.599><c> I'm</c><00:03:19.900><c> prepared</c><00:03:20.139><c> to</c><00:03:20.340><c> say</c><00:03:20.460><c> it's</c><00:03:20.800><c> inevitable</c><00:03:21.240><c> that</c><00:03:21.780><c> that</c><00:03:22.080><c> frame</c><00:03:22.300><c> of</c>

00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:24.180
thinking<00:03:22.819><c> will</c><00:03:23.080><c> eventually</c><00:03:23.639><c> lead</c><00:03:23.960><c> us</c>

00:03:24.180 --> 00:03:30.680
into<00:03:25.099><c> one</c><00:03:26.099><c> after</c><00:03:26.680><c> another</c><00:03:27.139><c> after</c><00:03:27.580><c> another</c><00:03:28.219><c> form</c><00:03:28.639><c> of</c><00:03:28.979><c> disagreement</c><00:03:29.460><c> and</c><00:03:29.719><c> division.</c>

00:03:30.740 --> 00:03:33.659
Husband's<00:03:31.360><c> wives,</c><00:03:32.340><c> chapter</c><00:03:32.539><c> five.</c>

00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:35.979
Parents'<00:03:34.180><c> children,</c><00:03:35.180><c> chapter</c><00:03:35.419><c> six.</c>

00:03:39.699 --> 00:03:45.219
So<00:03:39.960><c> it</c><00:03:40.060><c> was</c><00:03:40.300><c> a</c><00:03:40.520><c> frame</c><00:03:40.699><c> of</c><00:03:41.080><c> mind</c><00:03:41.300><c> then</c><00:03:41.680><c> that</c><00:03:42.159><c> was</c><00:03:42.439><c> causing</c><00:03:43.460><c> unworldliness</c><00:03:44.460><c> to</c><00:03:44.719><c> prevail</c><00:03:45.000><c> on</c>

00:03:45.219 --> 00:03:46.400

the<00:03:52.219><c> workplace.</c>

00:03:54.879 --> 00:03:58.379

00:06:19.060 --> 00:06:21.959
When<00:06:19.220><c> you</c><00:06:19.399><c> come</c><00:06:19.579><c> to</c><00:06:19.939><c> Ephesus,</c><00:06:20.399><c> you've</c><00:06:20.720><c> got</c><00:06:20.920><c> a</c><00:06:21.120><c> group</c><00:06:21.240><c> of</c><00:06:21.519><c> people</c><00:06:21.699><c> there</c>

00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:29.459

00:06:30.060 --> 00:06:32.620
If<00:06:30.339><c> they'd</c><00:06:30.660><c> been</c><00:06:30.740><c> back</c><00:06:30.959><c> in</c><00:06:31.160><c> the</c><00:06:31.259><c> days</c><00:06:31.420><c> of</c><00:06:31.620><c> the</c><00:06:31.740><c> Lord</c><00:06:31.920><c> Jesus</c><00:06:32.379><c> Christ,</c>

00:06:32.620 --> 00:06:34.560
they<00:06:32.800><c> would</c><00:06:32.939><c> have</c><00:06:33.100><c> been</c><00:06:33.220><c> the</c><00:06:33.600><c> Sadducees.</c>

00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:37.160
Surprisingly<00:06:35.279><c> enough,</c><00:06:35.800><c> the</c><00:06:35.939><c> Sadducees</c><00:06:36.459><c> were</c><00:06:36.740><c> the</c>

00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:43.920
So<00:06:41.139><c> you</c><00:06:41.339><c> see,</c><00:06:41.560><c> in</c><00:06:41.720><c> every</c><00:06:41.980><c> generation</c><00:06:42.579><c> you've</c><00:06:42.980><c> got</c><00:06:43.240><c> people</c><00:06:43.620><c> who</c>

00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:45.959

00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:49.420
They<00:06:46.600><c> want</c><00:06:46.800><c> to</c><00:06:47.079><c> establish</c><00:06:47.500><c> righteousness,</c><00:06:48.899><c> perhaps</c><00:06:49.139><c> with</c><00:06:49.319><c> a</c>

00:06:50.540 --> 00:06:54.959
but<00:06:50.660><c> anyway,</c><00:06:51.459><c> righteousness</c><00:06:51.899><c> by</c><00:06:52.779><c> indulging</c><00:06:53.339><c> the</c><00:06:53.540><c> flesh</c><00:06:53.899><c> or</c>

00:06:57.019 --> 00:06:59.379
Now,<00:06:57.300><c> it</c><00:06:57.540><c> is</c><00:06:57.779><c> important</c><00:06:58.199><c> that</c><00:06:58.360><c> we</c><00:06:58.519><c> should</c><00:06:58.699><c> abstain</c><00:06:59.079><c> from</c>

00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:05.920
But<00:07:01.000><c> abstaining</c><00:07:01.519><c> from</c><00:07:01.939><c> flesh</c><00:07:02.360><c> in</c><00:07:02.899><c> itself</c><00:07:03.439><c> does</c><00:07:03.819><c> not</c><00:07:04.100><c> automatically</c><00:07:04.819><c> make</c><00:07:05.160><c> us</c><00:07:05.399><c> righteous.</c>

00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:08.680
So<00:07:06.639><c> the</c><00:07:06.819><c> point</c><00:07:07.000><c> we're</c><00:07:07.199><c> making</c><00:07:07.459><c> is</c><00:07:07.720><c> this.</c>

00:07:09.339 --> 00:07:14.160
In<00:07:09.480><c> Ephesus</c><00:07:09.879><c> it</c><00:07:10.019><c> was</c><00:07:10.259><c> indulge,</c><00:07:11.620><c> in</c><00:07:11.839><c> Colossae</c><00:07:12.339><c> it</c><00:07:12.579><c> was</c><00:07:13.060><c> abstain.</c>

00:07:14.180 --> 00:07:16.920
And<00:07:14.420><c> we</c><00:07:14.560><c> might</c><00:07:14.740><c> say,</c><00:07:15.000><c> well,</c><00:07:15.199><c> those</c><00:07:15.439><c> two</c><00:07:15.740><c> philosophies</c><00:07:16.620><c> took</c>

00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:19.100
us<00:07:17.360><c> in</c><00:07:17.579><c> two</c><00:07:17.800><c> different</c><00:07:18.060><c> directions,</c>

00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:22.740
but<00:07:19.920><c> there</c><00:07:20.120><c> was</c><00:07:20.360><c> something</c><00:07:20.740><c> common</c><00:07:21.199><c> to</c><00:07:21.379><c> both</c><00:07:21.600><c> of</c><00:07:21.779><c> those</c><00:07:22.000><c> philosophies.</c>

00:07:22.920 --> 00:07:24.339
And<00:07:23.199><c> what</c><00:07:23.360><c> was</c><00:07:23.519><c> it?</c>

00:07:24.579 --> 00:07:27.819
They<00:07:24.959><c> both</c><00:07:25.579><c> concentrated</c><00:07:26.459><c> on</c><00:07:26.699><c> the</c><00:07:26.920><c> flesh.</c>

00:07:28.269 --> 00:07:32.819
One<00:07:28.759><c> indulged</c><00:07:29.439><c> it,</c><00:07:30.180><c> the</c><00:07:30.420><c> other</c><00:07:30.980><c> denied</c><00:07:31.500><c> it,</c><00:07:32.019><c> but</c><00:07:32.279><c> eventually</c>

they<00:07:33.139><c> met,</c>

00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:37.339

00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:41.439
And<00:07:38.139><c> so</c><00:07:38.379><c> Paul</c><00:07:38.680><c> wrote</c><00:07:39.240><c> two</c><00:07:39.779><c> almost</c><00:07:40.199><c> identical</c><00:07:40.819><c> epistles</c>

00:07:56.660 --> 00:07:59.740
And<00:07:57.100><c> we've</c><00:07:57.339><c> got</c><00:07:57.439><c> to</c><00:07:57.660><c> solve</c><00:07:58.019><c> the</c><00:07:58.360><c> problem</c><00:07:58.759><c> by</c><00:07:59.319><c> dealing</c><00:07:59.519><c> with</c>

the<00:07:59.980><c> disease.</c>

00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:04.540

00:08:04.620 --> 00:08:06.560

00:12:32.500 --> 00:12:33.600
You<00:12:32.799><c> probably</c><00:12:33.139><c> do.</c>

00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:38.100

Now,<00:13:42.419><c> I</c><00:13:42.580><c> think</c><00:13:42.740><c> it's</c><00:13:42.940><c> going</c><00:13:43.019><c> to</c><00:13:43.120><c> be</c><00:13:43.240><c> very</c><00:13:43.539><c> important</c><00:13:44.000><c> this</c><00:13:44.220><c> morning</c>

00:13:46.820 --> 00:13:49.419
It's<00:13:47.139><c> not</c><00:13:47.320><c> going</c><00:13:47.440><c> to</c><00:13:47.539><c> be</c><00:13:47.659><c> like</c><00:13:47.799><c> this</c><00:13:47.980><c> all</c><00:13:48.220><c> week,</c><00:13:48.399><c> I</c><00:13:48.539><c> can</c><00:13:48.759><c> assure</c><00:13:49.019><c> you.</c>

See<00:14:24.549><c> then</c><00:14:24.909><c> that</c><00:14:25.129><c> ye</c><00:14:25.350><c> walk</c><00:14:26.029><c> circumspectly,</c>

00:15:13.610 --> 00:15:15.690
I<00:15:13.889><c> hope</c><00:15:14.110><c> that</c><00:15:14.289><c> you</c><00:15:14.389><c> can</c><00:15:14.570><c> all</c><00:15:14.769><c> see</c><00:15:14.950><c> the</c><00:15:15.230><c> transparency,</c>

Paul,<00:16:15.730><c> an</c><00:16:16.070><c> apostle</c><00:16:16.450><c> of</c><00:16:16.629><c> Jesus</c><00:16:17.049><c> Christ,</c><00:16:18.669><c> by</c><00:16:18.870><c> the</c><00:16:19.070><c> will</c><00:16:19.169><c> of</c><00:16:19.450><c> God,</c>

00:16:20.889 --> 00:16:24.690
to<00:16:21.110><c> the</c><00:16:21.389><c> saints</c><00:16:21.629><c> which</c><00:16:21.929><c> are</c><00:16:22.149><c> at</c><00:16:22.450><c> Ephesus,</c><00:16:22.850><c> and</c><00:16:23.149><c> to</c><00:16:23.370><c> the</c><00:16:23.929><c> faithful</c><00:16:24.309><c> in</c>

Christ<00:16:25.009><c> Jesus.</c>

00:16:26.889 --> 00:16:30.110
Well,<00:16:27.169><c> if</c><00:16:27.389><c> we</c><00:16:27.509><c> were</c><00:16:27.649><c> doing</c><00:16:27.929><c> a</c><00:16:28.750><c> class</c><00:16:28.929><c> on</c><00:16:29.190><c> Ephesians</c><00:16:29.570><c> with</c><00:16:29.789><c> no</c>

time<00:16:30.309><c> limit,</c>

00:16:30.649 --> 00:16:32.789
we'd<00:16:31.009><c> spend</c><00:16:31.129><c> quite</c><00:16:31.370><c> a</c><00:16:31.470><c> bit</c><00:16:31.610><c> of</c><00:16:31.769><c> time</c><00:16:31.889><c> on</c><00:16:32.049><c> that</c><00:16:32.289><c> verse,</c><00:16:32.450><c> but</c><00:16:32.610><c> we</c>

00:16:32.789 --> 00:16:33.509
won't<00:16:32.970><c> this</c><00:16:33.210><c> morning.</c>

00:16:33.870 --> 00:16:37.129
Let's<00:16:34.210><c> simply</c><00:16:34.490><c> say</c><00:16:34.769><c> that</c><00:16:35.009><c> the</c><00:16:35.590><c> saints</c><00:16:35.850><c> is</c><00:16:36.070><c> a</c><00:16:36.230><c> term</c><00:16:36.389><c> which</c><00:16:36.669><c> refers</c><00:16:36.970><c> to</c>

00:16:37.129 --> 00:16:38.629
them<00:16:37.269><c> under</c><00:16:37.470><c> one</c><00:16:37.690><c> aspect.</c>

00:16:38.830 --> 00:16:40.929
God<00:16:39.149><c> had</c><00:16:39.730><c> called</c><00:16:40.190><c> them</c><00:16:40.409><c> out.</c>

00:16:40.929 --> 00:16:47.629
He<00:16:41.490><c> had</c><00:16:41.669><c> accounted</c><00:16:42.070><c> them</c><00:16:42.309><c> faithful,</c><00:16:43.250><c> and</c><00:16:44.750><c> now</c><00:16:45.210><c> they</c><00:16:45.669><c> were</c><00:16:45.929><c> faithful</c><00:16:46.350><c> in</c><00:16:46.669><c> practice.</c>

00:16:47.690 --> 00:16:49.429
So<00:16:47.850><c> two</c><00:16:48.009><c> aspects</c><00:16:48.490><c> of</c><00:16:48.769><c> their</c><00:16:49.149><c> work.</c>

00:16:49.929 --> 00:16:53.090
They'd<00:16:50.169><c> been</c><00:16:50.490><c> called</c><00:16:50.950><c> out</c><00:16:51.470><c> as</c><00:16:52.049><c> a</c><00:16:52.210><c> result</c><00:16:52.409><c> of</c><00:16:52.590><c> their</c><00:16:52.750><c> faith.</c>

00:16:53.450 --> 00:16:55.990
God<00:16:53.730><c> had</c><00:16:54.149><c> constituted</c><00:16:54.870><c> them</c><00:16:55.110><c> holy.</c>

00:16:56.230 --> 00:16:59.409
He'd<00:16:56.610><c> separated</c><00:16:57.009><c> them.</c><00:16:57.370><c> He'd</c><00:16:57.490><c> called</c><00:16:57.629><c> them</c><00:16:57.970><c> saints,</c><00:16:59.029><c> as</c><00:16:59.250><c> that</c>

00:16:59.409 --> 00:17:00.789
word<00:16:59.549><c> holy</c><00:16:59.830><c> means,</c>

00:17:00.870 --> 00:17:04.769
and<00:17:01.210><c> now</c><00:17:01.490><c> the</c><00:17:01.669><c> apostle</c><00:17:02.029><c> says</c><00:17:02.509><c> that</c><00:17:03.169><c> faith</c><00:17:03.490><c> must</c><00:17:03.730><c> be</c><00:17:03.990><c> seen</c><00:17:04.190><c> in</c><00:17:04.430><c> action.</c>

00:17:05.089 --> 00:17:09.630
You<00:17:05.369><c> know,</c><00:17:05.529><c> it's</c><00:17:06.089><c> almost</c><00:17:06.490><c> like</c><00:17:06.869><c> saying</c><00:17:07.490><c> our</c><00:17:08.109><c> wealth</c><00:17:08.329><c> in</c><00:17:08.630><c> Christ</c><00:17:08.910><c> comes</c><00:17:09.250><c> about</c>

00:17:09.630 --> 00:17:13.950
because<00:17:10.609><c> our</c><00:17:11.450><c> faith</c><00:17:11.710><c> has</c><00:17:11.970><c> been</c><00:17:12.230><c> counted</c><00:17:12.470><c> to</c><00:17:12.630><c> us</c><00:17:12.769><c> for</c><00:17:12.970><c> righteousness,</c>

00:17:14.269 --> 00:17:18.750
and<00:17:14.569><c> our</c><00:17:14.910><c> walk</c><00:17:15.130><c> in</c><00:17:15.410><c> Christ</c><00:17:16.230><c> will</c><00:17:16.769><c> see</c><00:17:16.990><c> that</c><00:17:17.329><c> faith</c><00:17:17.950><c> manifested</c>

00:17:18.750 --> 00:17:20.089
in<00:17:19.049><c> practice.</c>

00:17:20.890 --> 00:17:22.529
Have<00:17:21.009><c> we</c><00:17:21.150><c> seen</c><00:17:21.349><c> it</c><00:17:21.569><c> before?</c>

00:17:23.089 --> 00:17:26.769
Abram<00:17:23.470><c> was</c><00:17:23.789><c> justified</c><00:17:24.349><c> by</c><00:17:24.650><c> faith</c><00:17:25.089><c> when</c><00:17:25.789><c> he</c><00:17:26.009><c> came</c><00:17:26.170><c> out</c><00:17:26.470><c> of</c><00:17:26.630><c> Ur</c>

00:17:26.769 --> 00:17:28.450
of<00:17:26.910><c> the</c><00:17:27.089><c> Chaldees.</c>

00:17:28.490 --> 00:17:32.490
Abraham<00:17:29.009><c> was</c><00:17:29.309><c> justified</c><00:17:29.890><c> by</c><00:17:30.150><c> his</c><00:17:30.369><c> works</c><00:17:30.609><c> of</c><00:17:30.869><c> faith</c><00:17:31.470><c> when</c><00:17:32.170><c> he</c>

00:17:32.490 --> 00:17:34.069
was<00:17:32.730><c> prepared</c><00:17:33.089><c> to</c><00:17:33.390><c> offer</c><00:17:33.529><c> up</c><00:17:33.750><c> Isaac.</c>

00:17:34.450 --> 00:17:35.829
So<00:17:34.630><c> it's</c><00:17:34.690><c> very</c><00:17:34.970><c> simple,</c><00:17:35.289><c> isn't</c><00:17:35.509><c> it?</c>

00:17:35.829 --> 00:17:40.670
God<00:17:36.410><c> calls</c><00:17:36.769><c> us</c><00:17:37.069><c> out.</c><00:17:37.470><c> He</c><00:17:37.789><c> constitutes</c><00:17:38.490><c> us</c><00:17:38.829><c> holy,</c><00:17:40.170><c> and</c><00:17:40.210><c> then</c><00:17:40.430><c> he</c>

00:17:40.670 --> 00:17:42.450
asks<00:17:41.029><c> us</c><00:17:41.289><c> to</c><00:17:41.430><c> be</c><00:17:41.609><c> holy.</c>

00:17:42.470 --> 00:17:46.309
On<00:17:42.670><c> the</c><00:17:42.849><c> basis</c><00:17:43.069><c> of</c><00:17:43.289><c> our</c><00:17:43.609><c> faith,</c><00:17:43.950><c> he</c><00:17:44.109><c> calls</c><00:17:44.430><c> us</c><00:17:44.750><c> saints,</c><00:17:45.569><c> and</c><00:17:45.789><c> now</c><00:17:45.970><c> he</c><00:17:46.109><c> says,</c>

00:17:46.450 --> 00:17:48.569
I<00:17:46.450><c> want</c><00:17:46.650><c> you</c><00:17:46.829><c> to</c><00:17:47.009><c> walk</c><00:17:47.349><c> faithfully.</c>

00:17:48.970 --> 00:17:51.809
All<00:17:49.190><c> right,</c><00:17:49.329><c> well,</c><00:17:49.750><c> that's</c><00:17:50.289><c> interesting,</c><00:17:50.829><c> but</c><00:17:51.230><c> here</c><00:17:51.509><c> we</c><00:17:51.690><c> come</c>

00:17:51.809 --> 00:17:52.309
to<00:17:51.990><c> the</c><00:17:52.130><c> point.</c>

00:17:52.390 --> 00:17:54.690
This<00:17:52.650><c> is</c><00:17:52.910><c> the</c><00:17:53.029><c> one</c><00:17:53.109><c> you've</c><00:17:53.329><c> been</c><00:17:53.450><c> waiting</c><00:17:53.710><c> for.</c>

00:17:55.430 --> 00:17:58.210
Grace<00:17:55.769><c> be</c><00:17:56.009><c> to</c><00:17:56.109><c> you</c><00:17:56.289><c> and</c><00:17:56.450><c> peace</c><00:17:56.750><c> from</c><00:17:56.990><c> God</c><00:17:57.230><c> our</c><00:17:57.430><c> Father</c><00:17:57.750><c> and</c><00:17:57.910><c> from</c><00:17:58.109><c> the</c>

00:18:01.750 --> 00:18:04.529
And<00:18:02.130><c> would</c><00:18:02.250><c> you</c><00:18:02.430><c> believe</c><00:18:02.609><c> it?</c><00:18:03.069><c> That's</c><00:18:03.490><c> the</c><00:18:03.650><c> answer.</c>

00:18:05.529 --> 00:18:09.130
That's<00:18:06.069><c> the</c><00:18:06.230><c> answer</c><00:18:06.529><c> to</c><00:18:06.690><c> the</c><00:18:06.890><c> problem</c><00:18:07.130><c> facing</c><00:18:07.509><c> Ephesus,</c><00:18:08.309><c> Colossi,</c>

00:18:09.549 --> 00:18:12.549

00:18:12.549 --> 00:18:13.730
this<00:18:12.869><c> world.</c>

00:18:14.990 --> 00:18:16.569
I<00:18:15.289><c> can</c><00:18:15.509><c> sense</c><00:18:15.670><c> some</c><00:18:15.990><c> brain</c><00:18:16.269><c> saying,</c>

00:18:16.670 --> 00:18:20.470
I<00:18:16.849><c> think</c><00:18:17.049><c> this</c><00:18:17.309><c> speaker</c><00:18:17.569><c> is</c><00:18:17.829><c> going</c><00:18:17.930><c> to</c><00:18:18.150><c> try</c><00:18:18.250><c> and</c><00:18:18.390><c> make</c><00:18:18.549><c> a</c><00:18:18.710><c> lot</c><00:18:18.890><c> out</c><00:18:19.269><c> of</c><00:18:19.630><c> a</c><00:18:19.789><c> little.</c>

00:18:21.269 --> 00:18:23.529
Well,<00:18:21.650><c> let's</c><00:18:21.970><c> put</c><00:18:22.150><c> it</c><00:18:22.289><c> to</c><00:18:22.410><c> the</c><00:18:22.589><c> test.</c>

00:18:24.329 --> 00:18:28.690
Wasn't<00:18:24.809><c> grace</c><00:18:25.250><c> and</c><00:18:25.549><c> peace</c><00:18:25.910><c> a</c><00:18:26.569><c> fairly</c><00:18:26.829><c> common</c><00:18:27.730><c> salutation</c><00:18:28.490><c> at</c>

00:18:28.690 --> 00:18:30.289
the<00:18:28.869><c> beginning</c><00:18:29.089><c> of</c><00:18:29.289><c> epistles?</c>

00:18:31.309 --> 00:18:35.430
Yes,<00:18:33.890><c> for</c><00:18:33.990><c> obvious</c><00:18:34.329><c> reasons.</c>

00:18:35.609 --> 00:18:37.789
But<00:18:35.829><c> sometimes,</c><00:18:36.329><c> you</c><00:18:36.509><c> know,</c><00:18:36.690><c> like</c><00:18:36.910><c> in</c><00:18:37.049><c> writing</c><00:18:37.289><c> to</c><00:18:37.529><c> Timothy,</c>

00:18:37.829 --> 00:18:38.730
he<00:18:37.990><c> might</c><00:18:38.230><c> say,</c>

00:18:39.049 --> 00:18:40.690
grace,<00:18:39.289><c> mercy</c><00:18:39.589><c> and</c><00:18:39.849><c> peace.</c>

00:18:41.049 --> 00:18:44.150

those<00:21:12.970><c> differences</c><00:21:13.349><c> are</c><00:21:13.569><c> about</c><00:21:13.809><c> that</c><00:21:14.170><c> high</c><00:21:14.569><c> by</c><00:21:15.329><c> comparison</c>

00:31:13.430 --> 00:31:15.710

00:31:16.970 --> 00:31:20.009
And<00:31:17.069><c> then</c><00:31:17.170><c> he</c><00:31:17.250><c> makes</c><00:31:17.450><c> an</c><00:31:17.730><c> explanation</c><00:31:18.289><c> which</c><00:31:18.549><c> goes</c><00:31:18.829><c> from</c><00:31:19.109><c> verse</c><00:31:19.410><c> 2</c><00:31:19.690><c> down</c><00:31:19.890><c> to</c>

00:31:21.390 --> 00:31:24.309
And<00:31:21.549><c> then</c><00:31:21.710><c> he</c><00:31:22.049><c> recommences</c><00:31:22.609><c> his</c><00:31:22.970><c> prayer,</c><00:31:23.710><c> because</c><00:31:23.930><c> he</c><00:31:24.069><c> wants</c>

00:31:26.490 --> 00:31:28.009
Oh,<00:31:26.829><c> so</c><00:31:26.970><c> important.</c>

00:31:28.650 --> 00:31:31.789
But<00:31:28.910><c> it's</c><00:31:29.130><c> got</c><00:31:29.210><c> to</c><00:31:29.329><c> be</c><00:31:29.490><c> a</c><00:31:29.670><c> prayer</c><00:31:29.849><c> coming</c><00:31:30.130><c> from</c><00:31:30.410><c> a</c><00:31:30.630><c> mind</c><00:31:30.849><c> that</c>

00:31:37.930 --> 00:31:41.869

wives<00:32:58.490><c> not</c><00:32:58.750><c> getting</c><00:32:58.930><c> on,</c>

00:32:59.230 --> 00:33:01.190
both<00:32:59.450><c> in</c><00:32:59.609><c> the</c><00:32:59.829><c> truth,</c><00:33:00.549><c> not</c><00:33:00.769><c> getting</c><00:33:00.990><c> on.</c>

00:33:01.289 --> 00:33:03.049
Why<00:33:01.569><c> can't</c><00:33:01.829><c> they</c><00:33:02.029><c> get</c><00:33:02.230><c> on?</c>

00:33:03.650 --> 00:33:06.069
Oh,<00:33:04.089><c> there</c><00:33:04.309><c> may</c><00:33:04.529><c> be</c><00:33:04.769><c> little</c><00:33:05.049><c> personality</c><00:33:05.670><c> differences.</c>

00:33:06.190 --> 00:33:08.430
Maybe<00:33:06.470><c> they</c><00:33:06.630><c> were</c><00:33:06.809><c> married</c><00:33:07.069><c> before</c><00:33:07.410><c> they</c><00:33:07.609><c> came</c><00:33:07.809><c> into</c><00:33:07.990><c> the</c><00:33:08.269><c> truth</c>

00:33:08.430 --> 00:33:10.470
and<00:33:08.509><c> it</c><00:33:08.630><c> was</c><00:33:08.750><c> just</c><00:33:08.990><c> one</c><00:33:09.150><c> of</c><00:33:09.269><c> those</c><00:33:09.549><c> marriages</c><00:33:09.910><c> in</c><00:33:10.130><c> the</c><00:33:10.309><c> world</c>

00:33:10.470 --> 00:33:14.250
that<00:33:10.950><c> just</c><00:33:11.390><c> happened</c><00:33:11.670><c> because</c><00:33:12.410><c> there</c><00:33:12.930><c> was</c><00:33:13.089><c> the</c><00:33:13.349><c> flesh.</c>

00:33:15.109 --> 00:33:17.049
You<00:33:15.130><c> know,</c><00:33:15.509><c> Brother</c><00:33:15.630><c> Thomas</c><00:33:15.910><c> and</c><00:33:16.069><c> Elpis,</c><00:33:16.430><c> Israel</c><00:33:16.609><c> says</c><00:33:16.849><c> that</c>

00:33:17.049 --> 00:33:18.390
as<00:33:17.210><c> generations</c><00:33:17.710><c> of</c><00:33:18.009><c> mankind</c>

00:33:18.390 --> 00:33:21.670
lose<00:33:18.730><c> their</c><00:33:19.109><c> intellectual</c><00:33:19.549><c> and</c><00:33:20.069><c> moral</c><00:33:20.349><c> likeness</c><00:33:20.809><c> to</c><00:33:20.970><c> the</c><00:33:21.109><c> Elohim</c><00:33:21.470><c> and</c>

00:33:21.670 --> 00:33:23.609

00:33:23.829 --> 00:33:26.269
so<00:33:24.009><c> the</c><00:33:24.190><c> sympathy</c><00:33:24.569><c> between</c><00:33:24.950><c> men</c><00:33:25.170><c> and</c><00:33:25.289><c> women</c><00:33:25.529><c> evaporates</c><00:33:26.089><c> into</c>

00:33:26.269 --> 00:33:27.069
mere<00:33:26.509><c> animalism.</c>

00:33:27.430 --> 00:33:30.549
And<00:33:27.609><c> marrying</c><00:33:27.829><c> marriages</c><00:33:28.190><c> out</c><00:33:28.430><c> in</c><00:33:28.549><c> the</c><00:33:28.710><c> world</c><00:33:29.089><c> are</c><00:33:29.569><c> just</c><00:33:29.789><c> animalism.</c>

00:33:30.930 --> 00:33:33.829
You<00:33:30.990><c> get</c><00:33:31.089><c> nice</c><00:33:31.369><c> animals,</c><00:33:32.529><c> but</c><00:33:32.690><c> they...</c>

00:33:34.329 --> 00:33:36.230
You<00:33:34.809><c> do</c><00:33:34.970><c> have</c><00:33:35.109><c> nice</c><00:33:35.349><c> animals.</c>

00:33:38.130 --> 00:33:40.789
They<00:33:38.430><c> may</c><00:33:38.670><c> get</c><00:33:38.869><c> on</c><00:33:39.109><c> all</c><00:33:39.269><c> right</c><00:33:39.410><c> together</c><00:33:39.789><c> at</c><00:33:40.029><c> a</c><00:33:40.190><c> certain</c><00:33:40.369><c> level.</c>

00:33:41.150 --> 00:33:44.109
But<00:33:41.349><c> you</c><00:33:41.529><c> see,</c><00:33:41.809><c> it's</c><00:33:41.910><c> not</c><00:33:42.170><c> two</c><00:33:42.430><c> minds</c><00:33:42.809><c> that</c><00:33:43.029><c> are</c><00:33:43.190><c> in</c><00:33:43.349><c> tune.</c>

00:33:44.190 --> 00:33:47.250
It's<00:33:44.529><c> not</c><00:33:44.769><c> the</c><00:33:45.009><c> mental,</c><00:33:45.410><c> moral,</c><00:33:46.329><c> physical</c><00:33:46.650><c> that</c><00:33:46.849><c> we</c><00:33:47.069><c> know.</c>

00:33:47.250 --> 00:33:49.529
So,<00:33:48.230><c> okay,</c><00:33:48.369><c> perhaps</c><00:33:48.569><c> they</c><00:33:48.769><c> come</c><00:33:48.930><c> into</c><00:33:49.089><c> the</c><00:33:49.349><c> truth</c>

00:33:49.529 --> 00:33:53.230
and<00:33:50.109><c> maybe</c><00:33:50.450><c> some</c><00:33:50.670><c> of</c><00:33:50.789><c> those</c><00:33:50.990><c> differences</c><00:33:51.470><c> that</c><00:33:51.730><c> they</c><00:33:51.990><c> had</c><00:33:52.309><c> are</c>

00:33:53.230 --> 00:33:54.990

00:33:55.750 --> 00:33:58.710
Brethren<00:33:55.930><c> and</c><00:33:56.190><c> sisters,</c><00:33:56.730><c> people</c><00:33:57.109><c> should</c><00:33:57.410><c> be</c><00:33:57.650><c> able</c><00:33:57.750><c> to</c><00:33:57.869><c> live</c><00:33:58.049><c> together</c>

00:33:58.710 --> 00:34:03.210
when<00:33:59.410><c> they</c><00:33:59.789><c> realise</c><00:34:00.369><c> that</c><00:34:01.049><c> the</c><00:34:01.430><c> grace</c><00:34:01.650><c> of</c><00:34:01.930><c> God</c><00:34:02.269><c> has</c><00:34:03.029><c> entered</c>

00:34:05.130 --> 00:34:08.829
And<00:34:05.650><c> when</c><00:34:05.950><c> you</c><00:34:06.309><c> can't</c><00:34:06.670><c> demand</c><00:34:07.109><c> perfection</c><00:34:07.630><c> in</c><00:34:07.789><c> the</c><00:34:07.950><c> other</c><00:34:08.150><c> person</c><00:34:08.429><c> because</c><00:34:08.670><c> you</c>

00:34:11.130 --> 00:34:14.110
And<00:34:11.349><c> that</c><00:34:11.489><c> applies</c><00:34:11.710><c> to</c><00:34:11.929><c> marriage,</c><00:34:12.469><c> it</c><00:34:12.630><c> applies</c><00:34:12.949><c> to</c><00:34:13.210><c> family</c><00:34:13.510><c> life,</c><00:34:13.869><c> it</c>

00:34:15.090 --> 00:34:18.409
And<00:34:15.849><c> that's</c><00:34:16.050><c> what</c><00:34:16.210><c> Paul's</c><00:34:16.570><c> going</c><00:34:16.690><c> to</c><00:34:16.829><c> deal</c><00:34:16.949><c> with</c><00:34:17.309><c> when</c><00:34:17.469><c> eventually</c><00:34:18.030><c> we</c><00:34:18.230><c> get</c>

00:34:18.409 --> 00:34:19.389
down<00:34:18.610><c> to</c><00:34:18.750><c> the</c><00:34:18.889><c> end</c><00:34:19.090><c> here.</c>

00:34:19.829 --> 00:34:23.510
But<00:34:20.010><c> if</c><00:34:20.210><c> you</c><00:34:20.429><c> don't</c><00:34:20.730><c> establish</c><00:34:21.110><c> the</c><00:34:21.389><c> principle,</c><00:34:22.550><c> then</c><00:34:22.750><c> the</c><00:34:22.969><c> practice,</c><00:34:23.250><c> of</c>

course,<00:34:23.889><c> becomes</c><00:34:24.110><c> mere</c><00:34:24.389><c> platitudes.</c>

00:34:25.409 --> 00:34:28.510
And<00:34:25.550><c> you</c><00:34:25.630><c> might</c><00:34:25.809><c> just</c><00:34:26.050><c> as</c><00:34:26.150><c> well</c><00:34:26.210><c> go</c><00:34:26.429><c> along</c><00:34:26.610><c> to</c><00:34:26.750><c> the</c><00:34:26.889><c> local</c><00:34:27.190><c> Baptist</c><00:34:27.530><c> church</c><00:34:27.849><c> or</c><00:34:27.989><c> something</c><00:34:28.230><c> of</c><00:34:28.369><c> a</c>

Sunday<00:34:28.710><c> morning</c>

00:34:28.989 --> 00:34:31.849
and<00:34:29.150><c> listen</c><00:34:29.289><c> to</c><00:34:29.489><c> a</c><00:34:29.610><c> sermon</c><00:34:29.849><c> and</c><00:34:30.289><c> you'll</c><00:34:30.449><c> hear</c><00:34:30.510><c> lovely</c><00:34:30.869><c> platitudes</c><00:34:31.409><c> there,</c>

00:34:32.230 --> 00:34:34.590
better<00:34:32.369><c> than</c><00:34:32.510><c> you'll</c><00:34:32.789><c> perhaps</c><00:34:32.949><c> ever</c><00:34:33.190><c> hear</c><00:34:33.289><c> from</c><00:34:33.489><c> a</c><00:34:33.670><c> Christodorphian</c><00:34:34.150><c> platform.</c>

00:34:34.869 --> 00:34:38.670
But<00:34:35.050><c> what's</c><00:34:35.409><c> the</c><00:34:35.530><c> use</c><00:34:35.650><c> of</c><00:34:35.969><c> platitudes</c><00:34:36.590><c> if</c><00:34:36.929><c> we</c><00:34:37.070><c> don't</c><00:34:37.289><c> understand</c><00:34:37.610><c> the</c><00:34:37.809><c> principle?</c>

00:34:39.250 --> 00:34:42.469
So<00:34:39.510><c> what's</c><00:34:39.809><c> the</c><00:34:39.969><c> first</c><00:34:40.190><c> principle</c><00:34:40.530><c> of</c><00:34:40.690><c> the</c><00:34:40.849><c> doctrine</c><00:34:41.070><c> of</c><00:34:41.230><c> the</c><00:34:41.409><c> attainment?</c>

00:34:43.610 --> 00:34:48.090
The<00:34:44.170><c> grace</c><00:34:44.409><c> of</c><00:34:44.570><c> God.</c><00:34:46.710><c> It's</c><00:34:46.809><c> the</c><00:34:46.949><c> first</c><00:34:47.130><c> principle.</c>

00:34:48.730 --> 00:34:50.670
Oh,<00:34:49.030><c> no,</c><00:34:49.130><c> it</c><00:34:49.250><c> doesn't</c><00:34:49.550><c> stop</c><00:34:49.829><c> there.</c>

00:34:50.969 --> 00:34:53.449
It<00:34:51.150><c> recognises</c><00:34:51.750><c> that</c><00:34:51.949><c> in</c><00:34:52.090><c> the</c><00:34:52.190><c> Lord</c><00:34:52.409><c> Jesus</c><00:34:52.829><c> Christ</c><00:34:53.170><c> there</c><00:34:53.289><c> was</c>

00:35:02.409 --> 00:35:05.389

You<00:42:15.309><c> say</c><00:42:15.409><c> but</c><00:42:15.809><c> Paul</c><00:42:16.010><c> hasn't</c><00:42:16.269><c> said</c><00:42:16.469><c> all</c><00:42:16.670><c> that</c><00:42:16.829><c> yet.</c>

00:42:17.489 --> 00:42:18.110
No<00:42:17.650><c> I</c><00:42:17.829><c> know.</c>

00:42:18.469 --> 00:42:19.809
And<00:42:18.650><c> that's</c><00:42:18.809><c> one</c><00:42:18.929><c> of</c><00:42:19.010><c> the</c><00:42:19.150><c> problems</c><00:42:19.389><c> I've</c><00:42:19.710><c> got</c>

00:42:19.809 --> 00:42:22.110
because<00:42:20.030><c> I</c><00:42:20.190><c> know</c><00:42:20.269><c> he's</c><00:42:20.429><c> really</c><00:42:20.710><c> going</c><00:42:20.789><c> to</c><00:42:20.989><c> say</c><00:42:21.090><c> it</c><00:42:21.269><c> later.</c>

00:42:22.369 --> 00:42:24.289
And<00:42:22.530><c> what</c><00:42:22.670><c> I'm</c><00:42:22.829><c> suggesting</c><00:42:23.230><c> is</c><00:42:23.469><c> that</c><00:42:23.610><c> it's</c><00:42:23.969><c> already</c>

00:42:24.289 --> 00:42:26.570
embodied<00:42:24.769><c> here</c><00:42:25.070><c> in</c><00:42:25.250><c> the</c><00:42:25.449><c> salutation.</c>

00:42:26.869 --> 00:42:28.409
So<00:42:26.989><c> the</c><00:42:27.110><c> best</c><00:42:27.329><c> thing</c><00:42:27.469><c> to</c><00:42:27.650><c> do</c><00:42:27.730><c> if</c><00:42:27.869><c> you're</c><00:42:28.050><c> going</c><00:42:28.150><c> to</c><00:42:28.289><c> do</c>

00:42:28.409 --> 00:42:30.309
a<00:42:28.590><c> study</c><00:42:28.809><c> of</c><00:42:29.309><c> Ephesians,</c><00:42:29.789><c> which</c><00:42:29.949><c> we</c><00:42:30.190><c> did</c>

00:42:30.309 --> 00:42:33.030
in<00:42:30.510><c> an</c><00:42:30.750><c> ecclesial</c><00:42:31.090><c> Bible</c><00:42:31.449><c> class</c><00:42:31.730><c> once</c><00:42:31.969><c> over</c><00:42:32.250><c> two</c><00:42:32.510><c> years,</c>

00:42:33.530 --> 00:42:35.090
when<00:42:33.650><c> you</c><00:42:33.849><c> finish</c><00:42:34.090><c> it,</c><00:42:34.309><c> the</c><00:42:34.369><c> best</c><00:42:34.590><c> thing</c><00:42:34.730><c> to</c><00:42:34.869><c> do</c><00:42:34.949><c> is</c>

00:42:35.090 --> 00:42:37.150
go<00:42:35.250><c> back</c><00:42:35.449><c> and</c><00:42:35.590><c> read</c><00:42:35.710><c> the</c><00:42:35.909><c> first</c><00:42:36.110><c> three</c><00:42:36.389><c> verses</c><00:42:36.710><c> again.</c>

00:42:37.530 --> 00:42:39.809
And<00:42:37.690><c> you</c><00:42:37.809><c> say</c><00:42:37.989><c> it</c><00:42:38.289><c> was</c><00:42:38.530><c> all</c><00:42:38.769><c> there</c><00:42:38.889><c> in</c><00:42:39.070><c> those</c><00:42:39.289><c> verses.</c>

00:42:40.269 --> 00:42:42.909
Yes,<00:42:41.090><c> and</c><00:42:41.269><c> Paul</c><00:42:41.389><c> meant</c><00:42:41.630><c> it</c><00:42:41.769><c> to</c><00:42:41.909><c> be</c><00:42:42.090><c> there.</c>

00:42:43.070 --> 00:42:45.570
So<00:42:43.210><c> if</c><00:42:43.449><c> you</c><00:42:43.590><c> can</c><00:42:43.769><c> bear</c><00:42:43.969><c> with</c><00:42:44.190><c> us</c><00:42:44.389><c> in</c><00:42:44.590><c> not</c><00:42:44.929><c> rushing</c><00:42:45.250><c> ahead</c>

00:42:45.570 --> 00:42:47.909
too<00:42:45.929><c> fast</c><00:42:46.269><c> but</c><00:42:46.849><c> suggesting</c><00:42:47.269><c> it's</c><00:42:47.610><c> there,</c>

00:42:48.329 --> 00:42:51.750
Paul<00:42:48.630><c> says</c><00:42:49.090><c> believe</c><00:42:49.929><c> in</c><00:42:50.110><c> the</c><00:42:50.269><c> grace</c><00:42:50.449><c> of</c><00:42:50.670><c> God,</c>

00:42:52.190 --> 00:42:54.610
flatten<00:42:52.409><c> yourself</c><00:42:52.869><c> on</c><00:42:53.070><c> your</c><00:42:53.650><c> face,</c>

00:42:54.969 --> 00:42:57.050
humble<00:42:55.250><c> yourself</c><00:42:55.670><c> before</c><00:42:56.030><c> God,</c>

00:42:57.289 --> 00:42:58.670
and<00:42:57.409><c> God</c><00:42:57.650><c> can</c><00:42:57.929><c> exalt</c><00:42:58.250><c> you.</c>

00:42:58.670 --> 00:43:01.949
And<00:42:59.210><c> he's</c><00:42:59.469><c> given</c><00:42:59.610><c> us</c><00:42:59.869><c> a</c><00:43:00.130><c> status,</c><00:43:00.710><c> brethren</c><00:43:00.750><c> and</c><00:43:01.010><c> sisters,</c>

00:43:02.210 --> 00:43:04.610
that<00:43:02.389><c> no</c><00:43:02.610><c> one</c><00:43:02.710><c> else</c><00:43:02.889><c> in</c><00:43:03.010><c> this</c><00:43:03.250><c> world</c><00:43:03.429><c> has</c><00:43:03.690><c> got.</c>

00:43:04.789 --> 00:43:05.789
Why?

00:43:06.530 --> 00:43:09.449
Well<00:43:06.769><c> Paul's</c><00:43:07.329><c> argument</c><00:43:07.670><c> is</c><00:43:07.969><c> going</c><00:43:08.090><c> to</c><00:43:08.210><c> be</c><00:43:08.349><c> this.</c>

00:43:10.050 --> 00:43:12.130
Why?<00:43:10.449><c> Because</c><00:43:10.809><c> we</c><00:43:11.150><c> responded?</c>

00:43:12.329 --> 00:43:14.409
Well,<00:43:13.150><c> that's</c><00:43:13.449><c> logic.</c>

00:43:15.090 --> 00:43:18.309
Because<00:43:15.650><c> we</c><00:43:16.130><c> were</c><00:43:16.309><c> privileged</c><00:43:16.630><c> to</c><00:43:16.829><c> be</c><00:43:17.110><c> called</c><00:43:17.309><c> out,</c>

00:43:18.610 --> 00:43:20.710
we're<00:43:18.969><c> getting</c><00:43:19.150><c> a</c><00:43:19.289><c> little</c><00:43:19.449><c> close</c><00:43:19.730><c> to</c><00:43:19.949><c> it,</c>

00:43:20.949 --> 00:43:24.050
but<00:43:21.349><c> Paul</c><00:43:21.809><c> picks</c><00:43:22.130><c> up</c><00:43:22.409><c> one</c><00:43:22.690><c> word</c><00:43:23.050><c> and</c><00:43:23.369><c> he</c><00:43:23.550><c> forgets</c>

00:43:24.050 --> 00:43:26.610
all<00:43:24.389><c> the</c><00:43:24.550><c> rest</c><00:43:24.789><c> about</c><00:43:25.510><c> us</c><00:43:26.130><c> responding</c>

00:43:26.610 --> 00:43:29.530
and<00:43:26.789><c> that</c><00:43:26.929><c> sort</c><00:43:27.130><c> of</c><00:43:27.250><c> thing,</c><00:43:27.349><c> and</c><00:43:27.469><c> he</c><00:43:27.570><c> says</c><00:43:27.750><c> it's</c><00:43:28.110><c> God's</c><00:43:28.550><c> grace.</c>

00:43:29.769 --> 00:43:31.349
It's<00:43:29.929><c> God's</c><00:43:30.250><c> grace</c><00:43:30.409><c> that's</c><00:43:30.670><c> done</c><00:43:30.769><c> it</c><00:43:30.929><c> to</c><00:43:31.090><c> you,</c>

00:43:31.530 --> 00:43:34.449
and<00:43:31.809><c> now</c><00:43:32.090><c> he</c><00:43:32.230><c> has</c><00:43:32.489><c> caused</c><00:43:32.670><c> you</c><00:43:32.829><c> to</c><00:43:33.010><c> sit</c><00:43:33.090><c> in</c><00:43:33.269><c> the</c><00:43:33.429><c> heavenlies.</c>

00:43:34.530 --> 00:43:36.889
By<00:43:34.769><c> the</c><00:43:34.949><c> time</c><00:43:35.090><c> we</c><00:43:35.230><c> get</c><00:43:35.369><c> to</c><00:43:35.550><c> chapter</c><00:43:35.829><c> two,</c><00:43:36.010><c> he's</c><00:43:36.289><c> going</c><00:43:36.409><c> to</c><00:43:36.650><c> say,</c>

00:43:36.989 --> 00:43:39.309
you've<00:43:37.389><c> been</c><00:43:37.530><c> made</c><00:43:37.650><c> to</c><00:43:37.869><c> sit</c><00:43:38.250><c> together.</c>

00:43:39.829 --> 00:43:41.489
Aha,<00:43:40.150><c> you</c><00:43:40.269><c> and</c><00:43:40.469><c> you</c><00:43:40.610><c> are</c><00:43:40.829><c> there</c><00:43:40.969><c> together.</c>

00:43:41.989 --> 00:43:43.889
You've<00:43:42.230><c> been</c><00:43:42.449><c> raised</c><00:43:42.710><c> up</c><00:43:42.989><c> together.</c>

00:43:43.969 --> 00:43:46.210
You've<00:43:44.230><c> been</c><00:43:44.369><c> made</c><00:43:44.550><c> to</c><00:43:44.889><c> sit</c><00:43:45.170><c> together.</c>

00:43:47.789 --> 00:43:51.849
So<00:43:48.230><c> what</c><00:43:48.670><c> do</c><00:43:48.769><c> we</c><00:43:48.929><c> say</c><00:43:49.090><c> in</c><00:43:49.369><c> summarising</c><00:43:49.849><c> our</c><00:43:50.710><c> opening</c><00:43:51.030><c> study?</c>

00:43:52.369 --> 00:43:54.829
We're<00:43:52.789><c> saying</c><00:43:52.949><c> really</c><00:43:53.530><c> that</c><00:43:53.949><c> the</c><00:43:54.170><c> Apostle</c><00:43:54.570><c> Paul</c>

00:43:54.829 --> 00:43:58.650
is<00:43:55.250><c> trying</c><00:43:55.710><c> to</c><00:43:56.530><c> bring</c><00:43:56.829><c> us</c><00:43:57.110><c> all</c><00:43:57.250><c> to</c><00:43:57.389><c> the</c><00:43:57.550><c> same</c><00:43:57.730><c> level.</c>

00:43:58.829 --> 00:44:02.670
Perhaps<00:43:59.070><c> if</c><00:43:59.269><c> we</c><00:43:59.429><c> just</c><00:43:59.630><c> came</c><00:43:59.889><c> down</c><00:44:00.250><c> to</c><00:44:00.889><c> verse</c><00:44:01.250><c> 14</c><00:44:01.789><c> of</c><00:44:01.989><c> the</c><00:44:02.170><c> chapter,</c>

00:44:03.090 --> 00:44:06.150
which<00:44:03.389><c> is</c><00:44:03.730><c> the</c><00:44:04.030><c> end</c><00:44:04.170><c> of</c><00:44:04.349><c> that</c><00:44:04.730><c> particular</c><00:44:05.170><c> section,</c>

the<00:44:07.010><c> Apostle</c><00:44:07.449><c> Paul</c><00:44:07.710><c> there,</c><00:44:08.630><c> just</c><00:44:08.889><c> before</c><00:44:09.230><c> he</c><00:44:09.429><c> tells</c><00:44:09.690><c> us</c>

00:44:10.050 --> 00:44:12.150
about<00:44:10.369><c> the</c><00:44:11.010><c> prayer</c><00:44:11.269><c> and</c><00:44:11.489><c> the</c><00:44:11.750><c> thanksgiving</c>

00:44:12.150 --> 00:44:14.530
which<00:44:12.409><c> he</c><00:44:13.150><c> is</c><00:44:13.409><c> wont</c><00:44:13.489><c> to</c><00:44:13.730><c> offer</c><00:44:13.909><c> on</c><00:44:14.150><c> behalf</c>

of<00:44:15.090><c> his</c><00:44:15.550><c> brethren</c><00:44:15.889><c> and</c><00:44:16.150><c> sisters,</c>

00:44:17.329 --> 00:44:21.650
he<00:44:17.610><c> says</c><00:44:17.769><c> in</c><00:44:18.130><c> verse</c><00:44:18.469><c> 14</c><00:44:19.349><c> concerning</c><00:44:20.570><c> the</c><00:44:21.010><c> Holy</c><00:44:21.250><c> Spirit</c>
