00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:23.500
that<00:13:20.539><c> he'd</c><00:13:20.899><c> been</c><00:13:21.019><c> Saul</c><00:13:21.320><c> and</c><00:13:21.460><c> he</c><00:13:21.580><c> became</c><00:13:21.840><c> Paul</c><00:13:22.159><c> at</c><00:13:22.299><c> his</c><00:13:22.480><c> baptism</c>

00:13:27.779 --> 00:13:30.659
Why<00:13:28.159><c> is</c><00:13:28.460><c> it</c><00:13:28.759><c> given</c><00:13:29.019><c> to</c><00:13:29.259><c> us</c><00:13:29.440><c> like</c><00:13:29.820><c> that?</c>

00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:47.940
He<00:13:46.600><c> was</c><00:13:46.820><c> a</c><00:13:46.980><c> baby</c><00:13:47.159><c> that</c><00:13:47.320><c> was</c><00:13:47.600><c> wanted.</c>

00:13:56.919 --> 00:13:58.779
This<00:13:57.139><c> was</c><00:13:57.419><c> a</c><00:13:57.679><c> wanted</c><00:13:58.139><c> baby.</c>

00:13:58.940 --> 00:14:02.580
He<00:13:59.039><c> was</c><00:13:59.379><c> requested</c><00:14:00.080><c> by</c><00:14:00.440><c> them</c><00:14:00.779><c> of</c><00:14:01.220><c> the</c><00:14:01.440><c> Almighty.</c>

00:14:04.679 --> 00:14:07.419
Paul,<00:14:06.019><c> it's</c><00:14:06.100><c> a</c><00:14:06.179><c> Latin</c><00:14:06.419><c> name.</c>

00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:08.860
It<00:14:07.980><c> means</c><00:14:08.440><c> little.</c>

00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:14.080
He<00:14:09.179><c> was</c><00:14:09.799><c> a</c><00:14:10.460><c> small</c><00:14:10.860><c> man,</c><00:14:12.320><c> a</c><00:14:12.620><c> little</c><00:14:13.059><c> fellow</c><00:14:13.480><c> physically.</c>

00:14:14.179 --> 00:14:15.779
He<00:14:14.179><c> was</c><00:14:14.460><c> a</c><00:14:14.679><c> giant</c><00:14:15.100><c> spiritually.</c>

00:14:16.179 --> 00:14:18.559

00:14:29.559 --> 00:14:32.220
His<00:14:29.799><c> letters</c><00:14:30.139><c> are</c><00:14:30.480><c> powerful</c><00:14:30.940><c> and</c><00:14:31.299><c> weighty</c>

00:14:32.220 --> 00:14:35.919

00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:37.600
how<00:14:36.240><c> disappointed</c><00:14:37.000><c> they</c><00:14:37.379><c> were.</c>

00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:41.220
First<00:14:38.159><c> of</c><00:14:38.340><c> all</c><00:14:38.440><c> with</c><00:14:38.620><c> the</c><00:14:38.840><c> bodily</c><00:14:39.159><c> presence</c><00:14:39.720><c> of</c><00:14:40.240><c> the</c><00:14:40.419><c> Apostle</c><00:14:40.860><c> Paul</c>

00:15:03.740 --> 00:15:07.340
in<00:15:04.240><c> overcoming</c><00:15:04.879><c> himself</c><00:15:05.700><c> and</c><00:15:06.200><c> in</c><00:15:06.580><c> giving</c><00:15:06.700><c> himself</c>

00:15:07.340 --> 00:15:10.259
for<00:15:07.559><c> those</c><00:15:07.899><c> who</c><00:15:08.340><c> were</c><00:15:08.500><c> to</c><00:15:08.639><c> be</c><00:15:08.779><c> his</c><00:15:09.100><c> brethren,</c><00:15:09.580><c> his</c><00:15:09.899><c> sisters.</c>

00:16:43.820 --> 00:16:47.440
The<00:16:43.980><c> Lord</c><00:16:44.179><c> sat</c><00:16:44.559><c> down,</c><00:16:44.980><c> he</c><00:16:45.120><c> was</c><00:16:45.340><c> a</c><00:16:45.460><c> tall</c><00:16:45.639><c> man,</c><00:16:46.340><c> to</c><00:16:46.580><c> speak.</c>
