00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:53.799
Now<00:14:47.320><c> we</c><00:14:48.100><c> often</c><00:14:48.519><c> lose</c><00:14:48.980><c> sight</c><00:14:49.419><c> of</c><00:14:49.779><c> the</c><00:14:49.980><c> fact</c><00:14:50.279><c> and</c><00:14:51.539><c> when</c><00:14:51.700><c> we're</c><00:14:51.899><c> talking</c><00:14:52.159><c> about</c><00:14:52.519><c> marriage</c><00:14:52.879><c> we</c><00:14:53.139><c> sometimes</c>

00:15:04.379 --> 00:15:09.460
It's<00:15:04.820><c> the</c><00:15:05.000><c> remarkable</c><00:15:05.559><c> teaching</c><00:15:06.000><c> about</c><00:15:06.340><c> marriage</c><00:15:06.779><c> that</c><00:15:06.960><c> marriage</c><00:15:07.360><c> takes</c><00:15:07.779><c> us</c><00:15:08.559><c> from</c><00:15:09.019><c> a</c>

00:31:51.940 --> 00:31:57.819
And<00:31:52.940><c> we're</c><00:31:53.940><c> still</c><00:31:54.380><c> thinking</c><00:31:54.900><c> about</c><00:31:55.500><c> flesh,</c><00:31:56.880><c> just</c><00:31:57.140><c> what</c><00:31:57.319><c> this</c>

00:32:10.640 --> 00:32:17.099
That's<00:32:11.519><c> a</c><00:32:12.319><c> very</c><00:32:12.819><c> helpful</c><00:32:13.259><c> phrase,</c><00:32:14.380><c> the</c><00:32:14.619><c> course</c><00:32:15.140><c> of</c><00:32:15.579><c> this</c><00:32:16.119><c> world.</c>

00:32:22.180 --> 00:32:27.299
It's<00:32:22.519><c> to</c><00:32:22.680><c> do</c><00:32:22.940><c> with</c><00:32:23.259><c> this</c><00:32:23.759><c> world,</c><00:32:24.799><c> it's</c><00:32:25.279><c> of</c><00:32:25.519><c> the</c><00:32:25.819><c> earth,</c><00:32:26.440><c> earthy.</c>

00:32:29.660 --> 00:32:35.900
All<00:32:29.940><c> of</c><00:32:30.119><c> those</c><00:32:30.359><c> are</c><00:32:30.640><c> phrases</c><00:32:30.960><c> in</c><00:32:31.259><c> scripture</c><00:32:31.480><c> which</c><00:32:31.799><c> speak</c><00:32:32.099><c> about</c><00:32:32.900><c> flesh</c><00:32:33.599><c> given</c><00:32:34.079><c> over</c><00:32:34.559><c> to</c><00:32:34.920><c> sin.</c>

00:32:36.200 --> 00:32:38.519
The<00:32:36.460><c> end</c><00:32:36.779><c> thereof</c><00:32:37.180><c> is</c><00:32:37.480><c> death.</c>

00:33:04.059 --> 00:33:07.960
Now,<00:33:05.279><c> just</c><00:33:05.279><c> take</c><00:33:05.599><c> that</c><00:33:05.839><c> carefully,</c><00:33:06.700><c> fulfilling</c><00:33:07.059><c> the</c><00:33:07.500><c> desires</c>

peace.

00:36:10.159 --> 00:36:13.480
Now<00:36:10.639><c> what</c><00:36:10.760><c> we</c><00:36:11.039><c> learn</c><00:36:11.280><c> from</c><00:36:11.500><c> those</c><00:36:11.800><c> things,</c><00:36:12.900><c> my</c><00:36:13.079><c> dear</c><00:36:13.219><c> Brennan</c>

00:36:13.480 --> 00:36:15.159
sisters,<00:36:13.760><c> are</c><00:36:13.900><c> these,</c><00:36:14.579><c> that</c><00:36:14.699><c> there</c><00:36:14.960><c> are</c>

00:36:15.159 --> 00:36:17.900
these<00:36:15.500><c> different</c><00:36:15.920><c> meanings</c><00:36:16.280><c> to</c><00:36:16.500><c> the</c><00:36:16.639><c> word</c><00:36:16.840><c> flesh.</c>

00:36:18.760 --> 00:36:23.079
We<00:36:18.920><c> must</c><00:36:19.159><c> not</c><00:36:19.500><c> think,</c><00:36:20.639><c> as</c><00:36:21.059><c> some</c><00:36:21.300><c> have</c><00:36:21.559><c> thought</c><00:36:21.980><c> in</c><00:36:22.480><c> time</c><00:36:22.760><c> past,</c>

00:36:23.119 --> 00:36:26.920
that<00:36:23.679><c> we</c><00:36:24.039><c> can</c><00:36:24.280><c> be</c><00:36:24.880><c> a</c><00:36:25.099><c> little</c><00:36:25.639><c> less</c><00:36:26.239><c> sinful</c>

00:36:26.920 --> 00:36:29.599
if<00:36:27.500><c> we</c><00:36:27.800><c> remove</c><00:36:28.460><c> some</c><00:36:28.719><c> of</c><00:36:28.900><c> our</c><00:36:29.099><c> flesh.</c>

00:36:30.079 --> 00:36:31.780
Cut<00:36:30.599><c> it</c><00:36:30.800><c> off.</c>

00:36:32.179 --> 00:36:33.679
Less<00:36:32.599><c> sin.</c>

00:36:34.199 --> 00:36:35.880
That's<00:36:34.599><c> not</c><00:36:34.820><c> the</c><00:36:34.960><c> case.</c>

00:36:36.059 --> 00:36:39.460
We're<00:36:36.219><c> not</c><00:36:36.559><c> talking</c><00:36:37.039><c> about</c><00:36:37.880><c> the</c><00:36:38.559><c> meat.</c>

00:36:40.539 --> 00:36:43.360
Brother<00:36:40.800><c> Alfred</c><00:36:41.119><c> Nichols</c><00:36:41.460><c> who</c><00:36:41.699><c> taught</c><00:36:41.820><c> me</c><00:36:42.000><c> this,</c><00:36:42.820><c> who</c><00:36:43.039><c> said</c>

00:36:43.360 --> 00:36:46.820
that<00:36:44.599><c> sin</c><00:36:44.900><c> is</c><00:36:45.260><c> not</c><00:36:45.559><c> the</c><00:36:45.940><c> meat.</c>

00:36:47.300 --> 00:36:48.480
All<00:36:47.440><c> right?</c>

00:36:49.780 --> 00:36:52.699
So<00:36:50.179><c> there</c><00:36:50.480><c> is</c><00:36:50.619><c> that</c><00:36:50.840><c> meaning</c><00:36:51.039><c> of</c><00:36:51.320><c> flesh</c><00:36:51.500><c> which</c><00:36:51.800><c> is</c><00:36:52.340><c> our</c>

00:36:52.699 --> 00:36:53.900
physical<00:36:53.199><c> nature.</c>

00:36:53.900 --> 00:36:58.059
When<00:36:54.780><c> that</c><00:36:55.000><c> is</c><00:36:55.260><c> given</c><00:36:55.480><c> over</c><00:36:56.079><c> to</c><00:36:56.420><c> sin,</c><00:36:56.739><c> it</c><00:36:56.800><c> is</c><00:36:57.039><c> also</c><00:36:57.360><c> called</c><00:36:57.699><c> flesh.</c>

00:36:58.159 --> 00:37:01.059
So<00:36:58.280><c> we</c><00:36:58.280><c> must</c><00:36:58.380><c> be</c><00:36:58.500><c> very</c><00:36:58.800><c> careful</c><00:36:59.300><c> about</c><00:37:00.079><c> how</c><00:37:00.280><c> we</c><00:37:00.579><c> understand</c>

00:37:01.059 --> 00:37:03.500
and<00:37:01.500><c> use</c><00:37:02.099><c> the</c><00:37:02.460><c> words.</c>

00:37:04.239 --> 00:37:08.460
And<00:37:04.460><c> then</c><00:37:04.659><c> the</c><00:37:04.980><c> flesh</c><00:37:05.340><c> becomes</c><00:37:05.820><c> used</c><00:37:06.440><c> as</c><00:37:06.920><c> well,</c><00:37:07.739><c> not</c><00:37:07.940><c> only</c><00:37:08.239><c> for</c>

00:37:08.460 --> 00:37:10.159
that<00:37:08.619><c> which</c><00:37:08.780><c> is</c><00:37:09.079><c> given</c><00:37:09.219><c> over</c><00:37:09.559><c> to</c><00:37:09.820><c> flesh,</c>

00:37:10.559 --> 00:37:13.460
but<00:37:10.659><c> that</c><00:37:10.960><c> which</c><00:37:11.179><c> gives</c><00:37:11.460><c> it</c><00:37:11.820><c> over</c><00:37:12.380><c> to</c><00:37:13.119><c> sin.</c>

00:37:13.699 --> 00:37:15.159
Sorry,<00:37:14.039><c> I</c><00:37:14.039><c> said</c><00:37:14.199><c> gives</c><00:37:14.400><c> it</c><00:37:14.599><c> over</c><00:37:14.719><c> to</c><00:37:14.900><c> flesh.</c>

00:37:15.619 --> 00:37:19.300
That<00:37:15.840><c> which</c><00:37:16.119><c> gives</c><00:37:16.360><c> it</c><00:37:16.639><c> over</c><00:37:16.860><c> to</c><00:37:17.199><c> sin,</c><00:37:17.940><c> the</c><00:37:18.320><c> principle</c><00:37:18.880><c> which</c>

00:37:23.059 --> 00:37:24.480
in<00:37:23.400><c> Scripture.</c>

00:37:24.500 --> 00:37:26.199
So<00:37:24.659><c> we've</c><00:37:24.719><c> got</c><00:37:24.760><c> to</c><00:37:24.820><c> be</c><00:37:24.900><c> very</c><00:37:25.219><c> careful</c><00:37:25.519><c> when</c><00:37:25.659><c> we</c><00:37:25.800><c> look</c><00:37:25.900><c> at</c><00:37:26.039><c> the</c>
