there<00:02:13.860><c> is</c><00:02:14.060><c> not</c><00:02:14.319><c> less</c><00:02:14.699><c> righteous</c><00:02:15.139><c> and</c><00:02:15.340><c> more</c><00:02:15.580><c> righteous</c><00:02:16.000><c> before</c><00:02:16.400><c> Him.</c>

00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:23.020
Righteousness<00:02:19.360><c> is</c><00:02:19.560><c> only</c><00:02:19.939><c> what</c><00:02:20.159><c> God</c><00:02:20.460><c> possesses</c><00:02:21.860><c> and</c><00:02:22.180><c> only</c><00:02:22.539><c> what</c><00:02:22.719><c> was</c>

00:02:23.020 --> 00:02:24.860
manifested<00:02:23.639><c> in</c><00:02:24.159><c> the</c><00:02:24.280><c> Lord</c><00:02:24.460><c> Jesus</c>

00:02:24.860 --> 00:02:26.039
Christ.

00:02:26.539 --> 00:02:30.460
If<00:02:26.699><c> we</c><00:02:27.020><c> compare</c><00:02:27.400><c> ourselves</c><00:02:27.919><c> with</c><00:02:28.240><c> ourselves</c><00:02:29.000><c> then</c><00:02:29.939><c> we</c><00:02:30.180><c> simply</c>

00:02:30.460 --> 00:02:31.939
lower<00:02:30.759><c> the</c><00:02:31.039><c> standards</c><00:02:31.319><c> of</c><00:02:31.560><c> righteousness</c>

00:02:31.939 --> 00:02:33.139
for<00:02:32.180><c> two</c><00:02:32.419><c> reasons.</c>

00:02:33.580 --> 00:02:37.800
Firstly,<00:02:35.319><c> because</c><00:02:35.500><c> we're</c><00:02:35.900><c> comparing</c><00:02:36.199><c> ourselves</c><00:02:36.719><c> against</c><00:02:36.960><c> something</c><00:02:37.340><c> which</c><00:02:37.560><c> is</c>

00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:39.319
much<00:02:38.199><c> less</c><00:02:38.900><c> righteous</c>

00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:43.479
than<00:02:39.620><c> God</c><00:02:39.860><c> or</c><00:02:40.120><c> someone</c><00:02:40.659><c> that</c><00:02:41.340><c> is</c><00:02:41.460><c> much</c><00:02:41.699><c> less</c><00:02:42.099><c> righteous</c><00:02:42.379><c> than</c><00:02:42.620><c> God.</c>

00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:47.699
And<00:02:44.360><c> secondly,</c><00:02:44.759><c> because</c><00:02:45.360><c> we</c><00:02:45.900><c> are</c><00:02:46.280><c> comparing</c><00:02:46.599><c> ourselves</c><00:02:47.319><c> by</c>

00:02:47.699 --> 00:02:49.780
the<00:02:47.919><c> things</c><00:02:48.080><c> we</c><00:02:48.280><c> want</c><00:02:48.439><c> to</c><00:02:48.740><c> remember.</c>

00:02:50.580 --> 00:02:54.639
That<00:02:50.840><c> is,</c><00:02:51.180><c> we</c><00:02:51.300><c> say,</c><00:02:51.800><c> well,</c><00:02:52.039><c> yes,</c><00:02:52.360><c> I</c><00:02:52.639><c> don't</c><00:02:52.840><c> do</c><00:02:53.060><c> those</c><00:02:53.419><c> sort</c><00:02:53.580><c> of</c><00:02:53.759><c> things.</c>

00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:58.659
The<00:02:55.500><c> sins</c><00:02:55.740><c> of</c><00:02:56.020><c> commission</c><00:02:56.439><c> we</c><00:02:57.099><c> are</c><00:02:57.479><c> all</c><00:02:57.680><c> very</c><00:02:57.939><c> ready</c><00:02:58.219><c> to</c><00:02:58.479><c> think</c>

00:02:58.659 --> 00:03:01.379
about<00:02:58.919><c> that</c><00:02:59.060><c> we</c><00:02:59.280><c> don't</c><00:02:59.539><c> do,</c><00:03:00.919><c> but</c><00:03:01.180><c> what</c>

00:03:01.379 --> 00:03:03.120
about<00:03:01.560><c> the</c><00:03:01.780><c> sins</c><00:03:01.919><c> of</c><00:03:02.139><c> omission?</c>

00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:06.259
The<00:03:03.740><c> things</c><00:03:03.860><c> we</c><00:03:04.120><c> should</c><00:03:04.319><c> have</c><00:03:04.520><c> done</c><00:03:04.680><c> that</c><00:03:04.819><c> we</c><00:03:05.060><c> didn't</c><00:03:05.280><c> do?</c>

00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:09.180
What<00:03:06.560><c> about</c><00:03:06.740><c> all</c><00:03:07.000><c> those</c><00:03:07.280><c> thousands</c><00:03:07.719><c> of</c><00:03:08.060><c> mistakes</c><00:03:08.319><c> that</c><00:03:08.520><c> we</c><00:03:08.719><c> happen</c><00:03:08.879><c> to</c>

00:03:09.180 --> 00:03:10.520
forget<00:03:09.419><c> quite</c><00:03:09.719><c> easily</c><00:03:10.139><c> but</c>

00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:12.979
try<00:03:10.800><c> to</c><00:03:11.000><c> remember</c><00:03:11.300><c> the</c><00:03:11.500><c> virtues</c><00:03:11.800><c> instead?</c>

00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:17.099
It<00:03:14.099><c> was</c><00:03:14.340><c> by</c><00:03:14.580><c> this</c><00:03:14.860><c> rather</c><00:03:15.180><c> ridiculous</c><00:03:15.719><c> approach</c><00:03:16.120><c> to</c><00:03:16.360><c> righteousness</c><00:03:16.819><c> that</c>

00:03:17.099 --> 00:03:18.439
Paul<00:03:17.400><c> said</c><00:03:17.740><c> concerning</c>

00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:20.159
the<00:03:18.740><c> law</c><00:03:19.000><c> he</c><00:03:19.259><c> was</c><00:03:19.539><c> righteous.</c>

00:03:20.379 --> 00:03:22.860
How<00:03:20.639><c> was</c><00:03:20.860><c> he</c><00:03:21.060><c> righteous</c><00:03:21.360><c> concerning</c><00:03:21.759><c> the</c><00:03:21.979><c> law?</c>

00:03:23.020 --> 00:03:25.599
When<00:03:23.159><c> he</c><00:03:23.319><c> gives</c><00:03:23.460><c> an</c><00:03:23.680><c> exposition</c><00:03:24.259><c> in</c><00:03:24.500><c> scripture</c><00:03:24.819><c> showing</c><00:03:25.180><c> that</c>

00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:28.159
the<00:03:25.800><c> law</c><00:03:25.960><c> made</c><00:03:26.340><c> no</c><00:03:26.699><c> man</c><00:03:26.979><c> righteous.</c>

00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:32.919
Well<00:03:29.379><c> he</c><00:03:29.580><c> meant</c><00:03:29.979><c> that</c><00:03:30.379><c> he</c><00:03:30.520><c> was</c><00:03:30.719><c> righteous</c><00:03:31.080><c> by</c><00:03:31.379><c> the</c><00:03:31.560><c> way</c><00:03:31.800><c> in</c><00:03:32.039><c> which</c><00:03:32.439><c> the</c>

00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:35.000
Judaizers<00:03:33.460><c> looked</c><00:03:33.719><c> at</c><00:03:33.960><c> righteousness.</c>

00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:38.979
The<00:03:36.520><c> leaders</c><00:03:36.960><c> in</c><00:03:37.120><c> Israel</c><00:03:37.479><c> are</c><00:03:37.659><c> the</c><00:03:37.860><c> priests</c><00:03:38.120><c> and</c><00:03:38.419><c> the</c><00:03:38.599><c> Jewish</c>

echelon<00:03:39.620><c> class.</c>

00:03:40.180 --> 00:03:43.159
They<00:03:40.180><c> were</c><00:03:40.360><c> the</c><00:03:40.460><c> ones</c><00:03:40.680><c> who</c><00:03:40.879><c> thought,</c><00:03:41.379><c> well,</c><00:03:41.379><c> they</c><00:03:41.580><c> must</c><00:03:41.819><c> be</c><00:03:41.979><c> more</c><00:03:42.199><c> righteous,</c><00:03:42.680><c> but</c><00:03:42.800><c> if</c>

00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:48.620
So<00:03:46.159><c> they</c><00:03:46.319><c> forgot</c><00:03:46.580><c> about</c><00:03:46.919><c> that</c><00:03:47.159><c> principle</c><00:03:47.580><c> and</c><00:03:48.099><c> said,</c><00:03:48.280><c> now</c><00:03:48.479><c> we</c>

00:09:40.860 --> 00:09:44.379
They<00:09:41.000><c> don't</c><00:09:41.179><c> talk</c><00:09:41.419><c> about</c><00:09:41.980><c> whipping</c><00:09:42.259><c> out</c><00:09:42.500><c> television</c><00:09:42.960><c> sets</c><00:09:43.220><c> and</c><00:09:43.399><c> other</c><00:09:43.559><c> things</c><00:09:43.759><c> there,</c><00:09:44.000><c> of</c><00:09:44.200><c> course.</c>

00:09:47.139 --> 00:09:47.779
We<00:09:47.340><c> know</c><00:09:47.580><c> that.</c>

00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:51.580
And<00:09:48.159><c> thieves</c><00:09:48.360><c> have</c><00:09:48.620><c> to</c><00:09:48.840><c> be</c><00:09:49.299><c> controlled</c><00:09:50.240><c> by</c><00:09:50.580><c> society.</c>

00:09:52.100 --> 00:09:54.179

00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:58.139
If<00:09:54.759><c> the</c><00:09:55.000><c> thief</c><00:09:55.120><c> comes</c><00:09:55.419><c> in</c><00:09:55.600><c> at</c><00:09:55.820><c> night,</c><00:09:57.039><c> and</c><00:09:57.200><c> the</c><00:09:57.379><c> thief</c><00:09:57.539><c> be</c><00:09:57.759><c> smitten</c><00:09:58.000><c> that</c>

00:10:02.779 --> 00:10:03.220
Why?

00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:06.399
Because<00:10:03.659><c> the</c><00:10:03.860><c> principles</c><00:10:04.179><c> are</c><00:10:04.500><c> that</c><00:10:04.600><c> if</c><00:10:04.779><c> the</c><00:10:04.980><c> thief</c><00:10:05.100><c> broke</c><00:10:05.379><c> into</c><00:10:06.120><c> a</c>

00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:14.539
at<00:10:12.679><c> stake</c><00:10:12.879><c> in</c><00:10:13.080><c> this</c><00:10:13.320><c> darkness,</c>

00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:18.179
then<00:10:15.620><c> if</c><00:10:15.820><c> in</c><00:10:15.960><c> a</c><00:10:16.159><c> struggle</c><00:10:16.360><c> the</c><00:10:16.620><c> thief</c><00:10:16.740><c> was</c><00:10:17.000><c> smitten,</c><00:10:17.840><c> the</c><00:10:17.960><c> man</c>

00:10:18.179 --> 00:10:19.620
was<00:10:18.440><c> seen</c><00:10:18.600><c> as</c><00:10:18.820><c> simply</c><00:10:19.059><c> struggling</c><00:10:19.399><c> for</c>

00:10:19.620 --> 00:10:21.399
the<00:10:19.879><c> survival</c><00:10:20.100><c> of</c><00:10:20.279><c> his</c><00:10:20.480><c> children,</c><00:10:20.779><c> his</c><00:10:20.940><c> home</c><00:10:21.220><c> life.</c>

00:10:21.399 --> 00:10:24.120
And<00:10:21.659><c> he</c><00:10:21.779><c> could</c><00:10:22.039><c> not,</c><00:10:22.200><c> in</c><00:10:22.360><c> fact,</c><00:10:22.559><c> see</c><00:10:22.759><c> what</c><00:10:22.879><c> he</c><00:10:23.039><c> was</c><00:10:23.220><c> doing.</c>

00:10:24.899 --> 00:10:27.779
So<00:10:25.039><c> it</c><00:10:25.120><c> wasn't</c><00:10:25.399><c> going</c><00:10:25.559><c> to</c><00:10:25.659><c> be</c><00:10:25.840><c> a</c><00:10:25.919><c> case</c><00:10:26.100><c> of</c><00:10:26.299><c> premeditated</c><00:10:26.840><c> murder.</c>

00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:33.139
If<00:10:28.960><c> it</c><00:10:29.080><c> is</c><00:10:29.320><c> daylight,</c><00:10:29.860><c> however,</c><00:10:31.799><c> and</c><00:10:32.000><c> the</c><00:10:32.200><c> thief</c><00:10:32.360><c> be</c><00:10:32.620><c> smitten,</c>

00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:34.879
then<00:10:33.600><c> there</c><00:10:33.779><c> may</c><00:10:33.960><c> be</c><00:10:34.200><c> a</c><00:10:34.299><c> case</c><00:10:34.519><c> for</c><00:10:34.700><c> the</c>

00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:41.360
After<00:10:39.139><c> all,</c><00:10:39.340><c> the</c><00:10:39.440><c> man</c><00:10:39.559><c> was</c><00:10:39.759><c> there</c><00:10:39.879><c> to</c><00:10:40.019><c> steal,</c><00:10:40.360><c> not</c><00:10:40.419><c> to</c><00:10:40.580><c> murder.</c>

00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:45.460
There<00:10:42.759><c> is</c><00:10:42.940><c> some</c><00:10:43.159><c> sense</c><00:10:43.340><c> of</c><00:10:43.620><c> justice</c><00:10:43.940><c> in</c><00:10:44.120><c> that,</c><00:10:44.360><c> isn't</c><00:10:44.559><c> there?</c>

00:10:46.220 --> 00:10:49.580
After<00:10:46.620><c> all,</c><00:10:47.600><c> otherwise</c><00:10:47.940><c> men</c><00:10:48.200><c> might</c><00:10:48.440><c> see</c><00:10:48.659><c> a</c><00:10:48.860><c> thief</c><00:10:49.019><c> there</c><00:10:49.220><c> and</c><00:10:49.379><c> say,</c>

00:10:49.580 --> 00:10:53.399
Oh,<00:10:50.179><c> terrific,</c><00:10:50.860><c> we've</c><00:10:51.059><c> got</c><00:10:51.200><c> a</c><00:10:51.360><c> chance</c><00:10:51.600><c> of</c><00:10:51.799><c> gaining</c><00:10:52.039><c> another</c><00:10:52.340><c> mascot.</c>

00:10:54.019 --> 00:10:56.740
Take<00:10:54.220><c> his</c><00:10:54.460><c> head</c><00:10:54.600><c> off</c><00:10:54.799><c> and</c><00:10:54.980><c> hang</c><00:10:55.139><c> it</c><00:10:55.259><c> on</c><00:10:55.340><c> the</c><00:10:55.580><c> village</c><00:10:55.779><c> center.</c>

00:10:58.259 --> 00:11:02.159
You<00:10:58.519><c> see,</c><00:10:58.960><c> that</c><00:10:59.259><c> would</c><00:10:59.500><c> be</c><00:10:59.720><c> aggression</c><00:11:00.279><c> far</c><00:11:00.759><c> beyond</c><00:11:01.299><c> any</c><00:11:01.759><c> crime</c><00:11:02.000><c> that</c>

00:11:03.899 --> 00:11:06.279
And<00:11:04.299><c> therefore,</c><00:11:04.700><c> there</c><00:11:04.919><c> would</c><00:11:05.139><c> be</c><00:11:05.320><c> retribution</c><00:11:05.919><c> for</c><00:11:06.159><c> that.</c>

00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:09.919
Notice<00:11:06.720><c> how</c><00:11:07.139><c> delicately</c><00:11:07.679><c> God</c><00:11:08.039><c> showed</c><00:11:08.460><c> to</c><00:11:08.799><c> man,</c><00:11:09.279><c> even</c><00:11:09.620><c> against</c>

00:11:15.220 --> 00:11:19.580
He<00:11:15.700><c> was</c><00:11:15.960><c> not</c><00:11:16.139><c> allowed</c><00:11:16.419><c> to</c><00:11:16.600><c> do</c><00:11:16.759><c> anything</c><00:11:17.320><c> that</c><00:11:18.139><c> might</c><00:11:18.399><c> not</c><00:11:18.919><c> match</c><00:11:19.360><c> the</c>

And<00:23:34.400><c> then</c><00:23:34.599><c> he</c><00:23:34.660><c> says,</c><00:23:35.619><c> in</c><00:23:35.619><c> that</c><00:23:36.380><c> same</c><00:23:36.700><c> verse</c><00:23:36.900><c> he</c><00:23:37.039><c> says,</c><00:23:37.880><c> but</c><00:23:38.039><c> if</c>

00:23:41.640 --> 00:23:45.980
Now<00:23:41.859><c> what</c><00:23:41.920><c> he's</c><00:23:42.059><c> saying</c><00:23:42.279><c> there,</c><00:23:42.700><c> if</c><00:23:42.920><c> you</c><00:23:43.160><c> have</c><00:23:43.359><c> not</c><00:23:43.640><c> loaned</c><00:23:44.000><c> this</c><00:23:44.220><c> out,</c><00:23:44.759><c> but</c><00:23:44.980><c> you</c><00:23:45.160><c> have</c><00:23:45.440><c> leased</c><00:23:45.740><c> it</c>

00:23:50.720 --> 00:23:54.940
then<00:23:50.900><c> he</c><00:23:51.180><c> says</c><00:23:51.460><c> the</c><00:23:51.880><c> damage</c><00:23:52.519><c> to</c><00:23:52.859><c> that</c><00:23:53.240><c> must</c><00:23:53.640><c> be</c><00:23:54.039><c> included</c><00:23:54.440><c> in</c>

00:23:57.200 --> 00:24:00.640

00:25:02.859 --> 00:25:07.500

00:27:00.279 --> 00:27:03.680

00:41:50.900 --> 00:41:54.719

00:42:15.699 --> 00:42:18.679
says,<00:42:16.099><c> he</c><00:42:16.219><c> has</c><00:42:16.380><c> been</c><00:42:16.519><c> a</c><00:42:16.800><c> father</c><00:42:17.099><c> unto</c><00:42:17.460><c> us,</c><00:42:17.840><c> says</c><00:42:17.920><c> Jeremiah.</c>

00:42:19.800 --> 00:42:22.199
God<00:42:20.039><c> is</c><00:42:20.300><c> a</c><00:42:20.460><c> father,</c><00:42:20.840><c> and</c><00:42:20.960><c> he's</c><00:42:21.219><c> a</c><00:42:21.340><c> husband.</c>

00:42:22.820 --> 00:42:26.800
In<00:42:23.420><c> other</c><00:42:23.699><c> words,</c><00:42:24.039><c> he</c><00:42:24.260><c> is</c><00:42:24.500><c> the</c><00:42:24.739><c> male</c><00:42:25.119><c> to</c><00:42:25.659><c> secure</c><00:42:25.920><c> the</c><00:42:26.179><c> interests</c><00:42:26.460><c> of</c><00:42:26.659><c> the</c>

00:42:28.820 --> 00:42:33.159
So<00:42:29.139><c> God</c><00:42:29.420><c> appreciates</c><00:42:30.260><c> how</c><00:42:30.559><c> great</c><00:42:30.880><c> that</c><00:42:31.239><c> responsibility</c><00:42:31.920><c> is.</c>

00:47:14.179 --> 00:47:16.139

He<00:48:30.800><c> says,</c><00:48:31.139><c> I</c><00:48:31.139><c> will</c><00:48:31.380><c> take</c><00:48:31.679><c> you</c><00:48:31.940><c> to</c><00:48:32.300><c> me</c><00:48:32.599><c> for</c><00:48:32.800><c> a</c><00:48:32.980><c> people</c><00:48:33.280><c> and</c><00:48:33.659><c> I</c><00:48:33.860><c> will</c><00:48:34.019><c> be</c>

00:48:36.719 --> 00:48:41.579
Because<00:48:37.280><c> that</c><00:48:37.760><c> relationship</c><00:48:38.699><c> can</c><00:48:39.400><c> only</c><00:48:39.719><c> work</c><00:48:40.380><c> when</c><00:48:41.199><c> we</c><00:48:41.400><c> put</c>

00:48:51.360 --> 00:48:53.960
and<00:48:51.699><c> therefore</c><00:48:51.920><c> we</c><00:48:52.079><c> should</c><00:48:52.320><c> do</c><00:48:52.639><c> the</c><00:48:52.840><c> things</c><00:48:52.980><c> that</c><00:48:53.179><c> our</c><00:48:53.360><c> father</c><00:48:53.639><c> does.</c>

00:48:54.099 --> 00:48:56.239
That's<00:48:54.460><c> the</c><00:48:54.679><c> family</c><00:48:55.039><c> characteristic.</c>

00:48:57.239 --> 00:49:01.000

00:49:08.159 --> 00:49:11.760

00:49:15.199 --> 00:49:18.619
Instead<00:49:15.579><c> of</c><00:49:15.739><c> talking</c><00:49:16.039><c> about</c><00:49:16.320><c> how</c><00:49:16.599><c> great</c><00:49:16.780><c> the</c><00:49:16.940><c> needs</c><00:49:17.159><c> are</c><00:49:17.460><c> of</c><00:49:17.659><c> others.</c>

00:49:19.760 --> 00:49:22.360
This<00:49:20.000><c> is</c><00:49:20.219><c> the</c><00:49:20.500><c> power</c><00:49:20.699><c> of</c><00:49:20.920><c> the</c><00:49:21.059><c> law</c><00:49:21.179><c> of</c><00:49:21.400><c> Moses.</c>

00:49:22.559 --> 00:49:26.440

00:49:26.940 --> 00:49:32.940
And<00:49:27.380><c> it's</c><00:49:27.599><c> these</c><00:49:27.780><c> lessons</c><00:49:28.480><c> that</c><00:49:29.519><c> we</c><00:49:29.780><c> most</c><00:49:30.099><c> often</c><00:49:30.460><c> forget</c><00:49:31.079><c> because</c><00:49:32.539><c> we</c>

00:49:32.940 --> 00:49:36.679
too,<00:49:33.179><c> like</c><00:49:33.400><c> Israel,</c><00:49:34.880><c> have</c><00:49:35.159><c> bad</c><00:49:35.539><c> memories</c>

00:49:36.940 --> 00:49:40.519
