But<00:12:23.220><c> the</c><00:12:24.240><c> argument</c><00:12:24.620><c> was</c><00:12:24.860><c> simply</c><00:12:25.139><c> that</c><00:12:25.539><c> we</c><00:12:25.740><c> are</c><00:12:25.879><c> being</c><00:12:26.120><c> religious.</c><00:12:26.820><c> We</c><00:12:26.899><c> are</c>

00:12:28.740 --> 00:12:31.100
It's<00:12:28.919><c> the</c><00:12:29.019><c> right</c><00:12:29.220><c> thing</c><00:12:29.419><c> to</c><00:12:29.659><c> do.</c>

00:12:39.100 --> 00:12:42.799

00:15:35.340 --> 00:15:38.340

00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:02.679

00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:34.379

Therefore<00:20:33.619><c> as</c><00:20:33.920><c> the</c><00:20:34.140><c> Ecclesia</c><00:20:34.519><c> is</c><00:20:34.799><c> subject</c><00:20:35.160><c> unto</c><00:20:35.480><c> Christ.</c>

00:20:35.839 --> 00:20:39.740
So<00:20:36.099><c> let</c><00:20:36.299><c> wives</c><00:20:36.740><c> be</c><00:20:37.220><c> to</c><00:20:37.420><c> their</c><00:20:37.619><c> own</c><00:20:37.920><c> husbands</c><00:20:38.319><c> in</c><00:20:38.720><c> everything.</c>

00:20:44.039 --> 00:20:47.319

00:20:50.240 --> 00:20:52.019
And<00:20:50.400><c> he</c><00:20:50.500><c> doesn't</c><00:20:50.740><c> measure</c><00:20:51.019><c> up</c><00:20:51.259><c> to</c><00:20:51.480><c> Christ.</c>

00:20:55.240 --> 00:20:58.819

00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:09.259
And<00:21:07.579><c> gave</c><00:21:07.819><c> himself</c><00:21:08.380><c> for</c><00:21:08.740><c> it.</c>

00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:16.119
Love.

00:21:16.779 --> 00:21:21.880
I<00:21:17.039><c> can</c><00:21:17.279><c> remember</c><00:21:17.859><c> in</c><00:21:18.420><c> Australia</c><00:21:19.099><c> at</c><00:21:20.000><c> our</c><00:21:21.180><c> shower</c><00:21:21.519><c> before</c>

getting<00:21:22.140><c> married.</c>

00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:26.740
And<00:21:22.680><c> there</c><00:21:22.779><c> was</c><00:21:23.099><c> a</c><00:21:23.880><c> brother</c><00:21:24.279><c> that</c><00:21:25.420><c> was</c><00:21:25.700><c> giving</c><00:21:25.859><c> a</c><00:21:26.160><c> short</c><00:21:26.420><c> talk.</c>

00:21:26.980 --> 00:21:29.299

00:21:30.400 --> 00:21:34.160
And<00:21:30.500><c> really</c><00:21:31.440><c> coming</c><00:21:32.000><c> home</c><00:21:32.339><c> with</c><00:21:32.539><c> the</c><00:21:32.759><c> fact</c><00:21:32.940><c> that</c><00:21:33.200><c> you</c><00:21:33.599><c> have</c><00:21:33.819><c> a</c>

To<00:21:36.099><c> love</c><00:21:36.619><c> your</c><00:21:37.460><c> wife.</c>

00:21:38.339 --> 00:21:42.559
And<00:21:38.339><c> to</c><00:21:38.660><c> sacrifice</c><00:21:39.380><c> just</c><00:21:40.059><c> as</c><00:21:40.420><c> Christ</c><00:21:40.980><c> sacrificed.</c>

00:21:42.579 --> 00:21:46.799
And<00:21:42.880><c> that</c><00:21:43.720><c> must</c><00:21:44.339><c> be</c><00:21:44.519><c> very</c><00:21:44.880><c> difficult</c><00:21:45.339><c> as</c><00:21:45.660><c> well</c><00:21:45.900><c> for</c><00:21:46.180><c> all</c><00:21:46.480><c> of</c><00:21:46.599><c> us.</c>

00:21:46.900 --> 00:21:50.700
Because<00:21:47.180><c> we</c><00:21:47.380><c> don't</c><00:21:47.640><c> measure</c><00:21:48.000><c> up</c><00:21:48.440><c> to</c><00:21:48.799><c> Christ</c><00:21:49.240><c> once</c><00:21:49.640><c> again</c><00:21:50.140><c> in</c>

that<00:21:50.920><c> respect.</c>

00:21:52.839 --> 00:21:55.980
So<00:21:53.019><c> this</c><00:21:53.180><c> is</c><00:21:53.440><c> not</c><00:21:53.619><c> a</c><00:21:53.759><c> master</c><00:21:54.599><c> slave</c><00:21:55.240><c> relationship.</c>

00:21:56.359 --> 00:21:59.019
This<00:21:56.559><c> is</c><00:21:56.759><c> a</c><00:21:56.799><c> husband</c><00:21:57.240><c> wife</c><00:21:57.700><c> relationship.</c>

00:21:59.039 --> 00:22:00.359
Christ<00:21:59.500><c> and</c><00:21:59.819><c> the</c><00:22:00.059><c> Ecclesia.</c>

00:22:00.420 --> 00:22:04.839
A<00:22:00.720><c> lovely</c><00:22:01.380><c> parable</c><00:22:01.960><c> of</c><00:22:02.440><c> responsibilities</c><00:22:03.539><c> and</c><00:22:03.799><c> of</c><00:22:04.000><c> working</c><00:22:04.299><c> together.</c>

00:22:04.839 --> 00:22:08.700
If<00:22:05.799><c> only</c><00:22:06.160><c> people</c><00:22:06.559><c> would</c><00:22:06.859><c> see</c><00:22:07.079><c> it</c><00:22:07.259><c> in</c><00:22:07.400><c> the</c><00:22:07.539><c> wonderful</c><00:22:08.119><c> balance</c>

00:22:12.460 --> 00:22:15.920
There's<00:22:12.579><c> a</c><00:22:12.720><c> tremendous</c><00:22:13.339><c> example</c><00:22:13.960><c> on</c><00:22:14.339><c> submission</c><00:22:14.779><c> if</c><00:22:14.980><c> you</c><00:22:15.200><c> turn</c><00:22:15.519><c> to</c>

00:22:36.500 --> 00:22:41.460

Or<00:22:42.279><c> being</c><00:22:42.519><c> submissive</c><00:22:43.119><c> is</c><00:22:43.400><c> not</c><00:22:43.720><c> fitting</c><00:22:43.940><c> with</c><00:22:44.880><c> our</c><00:22:45.319><c> point</c><00:22:45.539><c> of</c><00:22:45.740><c> view.</c>

00:22:51.079 --> 00:22:55.440
We<00:22:51.640><c> come</c><00:22:51.859><c> across</c><00:22:52.259><c> these</c><00:22:52.519><c> situations</c><00:22:53.319><c> and</c><00:22:53.700><c> when</c><00:22:53.940><c> those</c><00:22:54.240><c> situations</c><00:22:54.859><c> really</c>

00:23:34.539 --> 00:23:37.440

What<00:23:46.500><c> an</c><00:23:46.859><c> example</c><00:23:47.440><c> that</c><00:23:48.019><c> a</c><00:23:48.220><c> wife</c><00:23:48.559><c> here</c><00:23:49.180><c> is</c><00:23:49.740><c> to</c><00:23:49.920><c> be</c><00:23:50.380><c> subject</c><00:23:50.900><c> to</c>

00:23:56.160 --> 00:23:58.440
It's<00:23:56.680><c> a</c><00:23:56.880><c> wonderful</c><00:23:57.460><c> example</c><00:23:58.000><c> indeed.</c>

00:24:02.400 --> 00:24:06.460

And<00:24:15.279><c> I</c><00:24:15.339><c> guess</c><00:24:15.559><c> the</c><00:24:15.819><c> only</c><00:24:16.039><c> ones</c><00:24:16.319><c> that</c><00:24:16.519><c> we'd</c><00:24:16.859><c> see</c><00:24:17.000><c> a</c><00:24:17.180><c> little</c><00:24:17.380><c> excuse</c><00:24:17.819><c> for</c>

00:24:28.420 --> 00:24:32.400
You<00:24:28.480><c> can</c><00:24:28.619><c> understand</c><00:24:29.160><c> sometimes</c><00:24:29.940><c> why</c><00:24:30.220><c> children</c><00:24:30.579><c> maybe</c><00:24:30.880><c> aren't</c><00:24:31.180><c> subject</c><00:24:31.980><c> to</c>

And<00:30:55.920><c> there</c><00:30:56.039><c> is</c><00:30:56.240><c> a</c><00:30:56.500><c> distinction</c><00:30:56.839><c> there</c><00:30:57.099><c> and</c><00:30:57.200><c> an</c><00:30:57.420><c> emphasis,</c><00:30:57.940><c> but</c>

00:30:58.299 --> 00:31:00.859
these<00:30:58.740><c> principles</c><00:30:59.299><c> meld</c><00:30:59.839><c> together</c><00:31:00.299><c> beautifully.</c>

00:31:00.859 --> 00:31:06.759
And<00:31:01.859><c> he</c><00:31:01.980><c> goes</c><00:31:02.200><c> on</c><00:31:02.420><c> in</c><00:31:02.559><c> this</c><00:31:02.799><c> chapter</c><00:31:03.359><c> from</c><00:31:04.099><c> submission</c><00:31:04.819><c> to</c><00:31:05.539><c> love.</c>

00:31:08.599 --> 00:31:12.019
They<00:31:08.680><c> are</c><00:31:08.900><c> brought</c><00:31:09.180><c> together</c><00:31:10.000><c> once</c><00:31:10.680><c> again.</c>

00:31:12.359 --> 00:31:16.240
And<00:31:12.420><c> we</c><00:31:12.559><c> know</c><00:31:12.880><c> obedience</c><00:31:13.440><c> to</c><00:31:13.660><c> the</c><00:31:13.920><c> commandments</c><00:31:14.279><c> of</c><00:31:14.519><c> God</c><00:31:14.740><c> defined</c><00:31:15.180><c> by</c><00:31:15.519><c> John</c><00:31:15.819><c> in</c><00:31:16.000><c> 1</c>

That<00:31:19.819><c> is</c><00:31:20.140><c> love.</c>

00:31:23.039 --> 00:31:29.660
Recently,<00:31:24.579><c> a</c><00:31:24.859><c> interested</c><00:31:25.240><c> friend</c><00:31:25.960><c> suggested</c><00:31:28.240><c> that</c><00:31:28.579><c> there</c><00:31:28.779><c> was</c><00:31:29.500><c> a</c>

00:31:35.740 --> 00:31:40.980
He<00:31:35.920><c> said</c><00:31:35.980><c> he</c><00:31:36.000><c> didn't</c><00:31:36.259><c> understand</c><00:31:36.980><c> how</c><00:31:37.539><c> that</c><00:31:38.359><c> young</c><00:31:38.559><c> people</c><00:31:38.880><c> were</c><00:31:39.180><c> encouraged</c><00:31:40.119><c> to</c>

00:31:43.299 --> 00:31:46.420
That<00:31:43.619><c> seemed</c><00:31:43.940><c> to</c><00:31:44.140><c> go</c><00:31:44.299><c> against</c><00:31:44.700><c> love,</c><00:31:45.079><c> which</c><00:31:45.319><c> has</c><00:31:45.640><c> no</c><00:31:46.000><c> bounds,</c>

00:31:49.859 --> 00:31:53.779
Well,<00:31:50.380><c> love</c><00:31:50.579><c> is</c><00:31:50.799><c> defined</c><00:31:51.160><c> in</c><00:31:51.339><c> the</c><00:31:51.519><c> scriptures,</c><00:31:52.220><c> has</c><00:31:52.480><c> to</c><00:31:53.420><c> meld</c>

00:31:56.339 --> 00:31:59.599
And<00:31:56.559><c> you</c><00:31:56.720><c> can't</c><00:31:57.079><c> divorce</c><00:31:57.500><c> it</c><00:31:57.740><c> from</c><00:31:58.059><c> the</c><00:31:58.400><c> commandments</c><00:31:58.799><c> of</c><00:31:59.079><c> God</c>

00:31:59.599 --> 00:32:02.680

00:32:03.119 --> 00:32:06.680
There's<00:32:03.380><c> a</c><00:32:03.640><c> context</c><00:32:04.359><c> for</c><00:32:05.240><c> these</c><00:32:05.640><c> things.</c>

00:32:07.140 --> 00:32:09.839
And<00:32:07.240><c> he</c><00:32:07.299><c> goes</c><00:32:07.519><c> on</c><00:32:07.859><c> and</c><00:32:08.099><c> cites</c><00:32:08.319><c> some</c><00:32:08.539><c> of</c><00:32:08.680><c> the</c><00:32:08.839><c> laws.</c>

00:32:10.619 --> 00:32:13.359
And<00:32:10.759><c> he</c><00:32:10.839><c> brings</c><00:32:11.140><c> it</c><00:32:11.319><c> and</c><00:32:11.519><c> boils</c><00:32:11.779><c> it</c><00:32:12.059><c> down</c><00:32:12.299><c> to</c><00:32:12.480><c> verse</c><00:32:12.680><c> 10,</c><00:32:13.039><c> Love</c>

00:32:13.359 --> 00:32:15.140
worketh<00:32:13.779><c> no</c><00:32:14.079><c> ill</c><00:32:14.339><c> to</c><00:32:14.519><c> his</c><00:32:14.779><c> neighbor.</c>

00:32:15.140 --> 00:32:18.180
Therefore,<00:32:16.119><c> love</c><00:32:16.420><c> is</c><00:32:16.700><c> the</c><00:32:16.900><c> fulfilling</c><00:32:17.380><c> of</c><00:32:17.660><c> the</c><00:32:17.839><c> law.</c>

00:32:18.380 --> 00:32:23.460
And<00:32:18.559><c> our</c><00:32:18.759><c> interaction</c><00:32:19.240><c> with</c><00:32:19.559><c> neighbors</c><00:32:20.359><c> should</c><00:32:21.519><c> be</c><00:32:21.880><c> submissive.</c>

00:32:25.039 --> 00:32:30.299
We<00:32:25.359><c> should</c><00:32:25.859><c> be</c><00:32:26.279><c> cooperative</c><00:32:26.839><c> and</c><00:32:27.440><c> loving</c><00:32:27.799><c> one</c><00:32:28.319><c> towards</c><00:32:28.740><c> another</c><00:32:29.319><c> and</c>

00:32:30.299 --> 00:32:31.920
toward<00:32:30.640><c> other</c><00:32:30.940><c> people.</c>

00:32:31.940 --> 00:32:34.039
That's<00:32:32.400><c> the</c><00:32:32.680><c> spirit</c><00:32:33.019><c> of</c><00:32:33.420><c> the</c><00:32:33.599><c> scriptures.</c>

00:32:34.519 --> 00:32:37.460
That's<00:32:34.859><c> putting</c><00:32:35.039><c> the</c><00:32:35.359><c> truth</c><00:32:35.700><c> into</c><00:32:36.339><c> practice.</c>

00:32:38.099 --> 00:32:44.099
We<00:32:38.259><c> move</c><00:32:38.460><c> on</c><00:32:38.779><c> then</c><00:32:39.039><c> to</c><00:32:39.400><c> our</c><00:32:39.920><c> fourth</c><00:32:41.059><c> example</c><00:32:43.480><c> today.</c>

00:32:44.099 --> 00:32:48.779
The<00:32:45.220><c> fourth</c><00:32:45.599><c> example</c><00:32:46.259><c> today</c><00:32:46.720><c> is</c><00:32:47.180><c> the</c><00:32:47.460><c> attitude</c><00:32:47.880><c> of</c><00:32:48.200><c> believers</c>

00:32:48.779 --> 00:32:51.640
to<00:32:49.799><c> other</c><00:32:50.359><c> believers.</c>

00:32:53.359 --> 00:32:57.140
You<00:32:53.400><c> know,</c><00:32:53.680><c> some</c><00:32:53.960><c> say</c><00:32:54.299><c> there's</c><00:32:54.619><c> a</c><00:32:54.799><c> natural</c><00:32:55.619><c> inborn</c><00:32:56.259><c> desire</c><00:32:56.880><c> to</c>

00:32:57.140 --> 00:33:00.579
be<00:32:57.480><c> taught</c><00:32:57.740><c> and</c><00:32:57.920><c> to</c><00:32:58.019><c> be</c><00:32:58.259><c> told</c><00:32:58.539><c> what</c><00:32:58.819><c> to</c><00:32:59.140><c> do.</c>

00:33:01.779 --> 00:33:05.099
Maybe<00:33:02.180><c> there</c><00:33:02.460><c> is</c><00:33:03.559><c> somewhat</c><00:33:04.039><c> in</c><00:33:04.380><c> some</c><00:33:04.680><c> way.</c>

00:33:05.420 --> 00:33:09.160
But<00:33:05.579><c> it</c><00:33:05.740><c> seems</c><00:33:05.960><c> to</c><00:33:06.099><c> me</c><00:33:06.240><c> the</c><00:33:06.480><c> more</c><00:33:06.960><c> inborn</c><00:33:07.640><c> desire</c><00:33:08.059><c> is</c><00:33:08.240><c> to</c><00:33:08.380><c> do</c><00:33:08.559><c> what</c><00:33:08.819><c> we</c>

00:33:09.160 --> 00:33:14.019
want,<00:33:10.099><c> when</c><00:33:10.339><c> we</c><00:33:10.700><c> want,</c><00:33:11.319><c> how</c><00:33:11.640><c> we</c><00:33:11.940><c> want,</c><00:33:12.299><c> if</c><00:33:12.660><c> we</c><00:33:13.059><c> want.</c>

00:33:14.900 --> 00:33:18.339
That's<00:33:15.619><c> the</c><00:33:15.759><c> spirit</c><00:33:16.140><c> that</c><00:33:16.559><c> is</c><00:33:17.240><c> within</c><00:33:17.700><c> us.</c>

00:33:18.759 --> 00:33:22.299
And<00:33:19.119><c> we</c><00:33:19.460><c> naturally</c><00:33:20.079><c> reject</c><00:33:20.680><c> authority,</c><00:33:21.680><c> all</c><00:33:21.940><c> authority.</c>

00:33:22.380 --> 00:33:26.420
If<00:33:22.460><c> anything</c><00:33:22.740><c> is</c><00:33:23.099><c> imposing</c><00:33:23.579><c> on</c><00:33:23.880><c> us,</c><00:33:25.539><c> it's</c><00:33:25.559><c> in</c><00:33:25.700><c> our</c><00:33:25.920><c> way.</c>

00:33:26.819 --> 00:33:27.980
We<00:33:27.000><c> don't</c><00:33:27.200><c> like</c><00:33:27.420><c> it</c><00:33:27.579><c> at</c><00:33:27.740><c> all.</c>

00:33:28.140 --> 00:33:32.119
And<00:33:28.539><c> we</c><00:33:29.299><c> have</c><00:33:29.579><c> been</c><00:33:30.059><c> well</c><00:33:30.460><c> exhorted</c><00:33:30.980><c> and</c><00:33:31.380><c> taught</c><00:33:31.619><c> through</c><00:33:31.859><c> the</c>

00:33:32.119 --> 00:33:33.259
examples<00:33:32.460><c> of</c><00:33:32.759><c> scripture</c>

00:33:37.319 --> 00:33:40.779

00:33:40.779 --> 00:33:44.460
For<00:33:41.099><c> example,</c><00:33:41.720><c> Roman</c><00:33:41.839><c> Catholicism,</c><00:33:42.819><c> which</c><00:33:43.019><c> has</c><00:33:43.220><c> made</c><00:33:43.319><c> us</c><00:33:43.539><c> very</c><00:33:43.940><c> aware</c><00:33:44.299><c> of</c>

00:33:44.460 --> 00:33:46.740
the<00:33:44.759><c> commandments</c><00:33:45.240><c> of</c><00:33:45.519><c> men</c>

00:33:46.720 --> 00:33:50.559

00:36:42.679 --> 00:36:45.820
Again,<00:36:43.079><c> I</c><00:36:43.280><c> think</c><00:36:43.539><c> it</c><00:36:43.800><c> is</c><00:36:45.019><c> the</c><00:36:45.480><c> latter.</c>

00:36:46.199 --> 00:36:48.039
That's<00:36:46.659><c> the</c><00:36:46.800><c> age</c><00:36:47.079><c> in</c><00:36:47.260><c> which</c><00:36:47.440><c> we</c><00:36:47.760><c> live.</c>

00:36:48.300 --> 00:36:51.400
And<00:36:48.480><c> it's</c><00:36:48.619><c> important</c><00:36:48.960><c> for</c><00:36:49.179><c> us</c><00:36:49.380><c> to</c><00:36:49.599><c> identify</c><00:36:50.059><c> that</c><00:36:50.519><c> and,</c><00:36:50.800><c> of</c><00:36:51.000><c> course,</c><00:36:51.199><c> to</c>

00:36:55.280 --> 00:37:00.139
Not<00:36:55.500><c> only</c><00:36:55.699><c> do</c><00:36:55.880><c> I</c><00:36:56.139><c> think</c><00:36:56.420><c> that,</c><00:36:57.579><c> but</c><00:36:57.800><c> the</c><00:36:58.079><c> Lord</c><00:36:58.440><c> comments</c><00:36:58.940><c> on</c><00:36:59.219><c> it.</c>

He<00:37:00.440><c> says</c><00:37:00.840><c> it</c><00:37:00.980><c> would</c><00:37:01.179><c> be</c><00:37:01.360><c> like</c><00:37:01.599><c> the</c><00:37:01.840><c> days</c><00:37:02.079><c> of</c><00:37:02.460><c> Noah.</c>

00:37:19.739 --> 00:37:23.500
This<00:37:20.119><c> is</c><00:37:20.519><c> our</c><00:37:20.760><c> world</c><00:37:21.019><c> as</c><00:37:21.139><c> is</c><00:37:21.360><c> described</c><00:37:21.739><c> by</c><00:37:22.059><c> Paul</c><00:37:22.360><c> to</c><00:37:22.519><c> Timothy.</c>

00:42:38.219 --> 00:42:41.800

00:43:01.760 --> 00:43:08.099
The<00:43:02.039><c> serpent</c><00:43:02.400><c> was</c><00:43:03.000><c> lifted</c><00:43:03.360><c> up</c><00:43:04.480><c> as</c><00:43:05.639><c> Christ</c><00:43:06.340><c> also</c><00:43:07.179><c> was</c><00:43:07.820><c> lifted</c>

00:43:18.039 --> 00:43:22.059
First,<00:43:18.699><c> we</c><00:43:18.820><c> want</c><00:43:19.079><c> to</c><00:43:19.280><c> remember</c><00:43:19.760><c> that</c><00:43:20.099><c> we</c><00:43:20.360><c> are</c><00:43:20.699><c> in</c><00:43:20.880><c> a</c><00:43:21.159><c> war.</c>

00:43:22.119 --> 00:43:25.940
There's<00:43:22.320><c> a</c><00:43:22.559><c> natural</c><00:43:22.920><c> inclination</c><00:43:23.539><c> in</c><00:43:23.739><c> myself</c><00:43:24.340><c> to</c><00:43:25.000><c> not</c><00:43:25.480><c> want</c><00:43:25.699><c> a</c>

00:43:28.539 --> 00:43:31.300
But<00:43:28.739><c> we</c><00:43:28.900><c> are</c><00:43:29.139><c> in</c><00:43:29.280><c> a</c><00:43:29.460><c> war,</c><00:43:29.820><c> and</c><00:43:29.880><c> it's</c><00:43:30.099><c> a</c><00:43:30.239><c> matter</c><00:43:30.460><c> of</c><00:43:30.719><c> warring</c><00:43:31.139><c> in</c>

The<00:43:33.599><c> enemy</c><00:43:33.900><c> is</c><00:43:34.260><c> the</c><00:43:34.500><c> serpent,</c><00:43:35.119><c> the</c><00:43:35.400><c> carnal</c><00:43:35.800><c> mind.</c>

00:43:36.980 --> 00:43:39.940
As<00:43:37.219><c> we've</c><00:43:37.599><c> said,</c><00:43:37.920><c> the</c><00:43:38.079><c> vast</c><00:43:38.320><c> majority</c><00:43:38.900><c> of</c><00:43:39.159><c> this</c><00:43:39.340><c> takes</c><00:43:39.619><c> place</c>

00:43:39.940 --> 00:43:44.219

00:43:44.380 --> 00:43:46.360
We<00:43:44.860><c> need</c><00:43:45.079><c> to</c><00:43:45.239><c> identify</c><00:43:45.820><c> the</c><00:43:46.079><c> enemy.</c>

00:43:52.599 --> 00:43:53.840
We<00:43:52.699><c> need</c><00:43:52.820><c> to</c><00:43:52.960><c> be</c><00:43:53.139><c> aware</c><00:43:53.440><c> of</c><00:43:53.659><c> this.</c>
