00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:20.980

00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:28.879
Beware.

00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:32.820
And<00:08:29.920><c> consequently</c><00:08:30.540><c> the</c><00:08:30.740><c> law</c><00:08:30.939><c> of</c><00:08:31.100><c> Moses,</c><00:08:31.800><c> though</c><00:08:32.100><c> it</c><00:08:32.299><c> of</c><00:08:32.299><c> course</c><00:08:32.539><c> had</c>

Now<00:08:53.120><c> the</c><00:08:53.240><c> Jews</c><00:08:53.419><c> did</c><00:08:53.720><c> learn</c><00:08:53.899><c> that</c><00:08:54.860><c> in</c><00:08:55.659><c> measure.</c>

00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:11.720
And<00:09:08.679><c> so</c><00:09:08.860><c> they</c><00:09:09.139><c> devised</c><00:09:09.799><c> in</c><00:09:09.940><c> their</c><00:09:10.200><c> Jewish</c><00:09:10.539><c> interpretations</c>

00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:27.039
So<00:09:24.659><c> they</c><00:09:24.779><c> were</c><00:09:24.940><c> trying</c><00:09:25.179><c> to</c><00:09:25.440><c> escape</c><00:09:26.039><c> their</c><00:09:26.379><c> responsibilities</c>

00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:37.259

00:13:58.500 --> 00:14:01.700
But<00:13:58.600><c> because</c><00:13:58.879><c> he</c><00:13:59.039><c> was</c><00:13:59.240><c> a</c><00:13:59.379><c> mature</c><00:13:59.700><c> man</c><00:14:00.059><c> and</c><00:14:00.360><c> had</c><00:14:00.539><c> come</c><00:14:00.740><c> to</c><00:14:00.940><c> realize</c><00:14:01.340><c> the</c>

00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:23.839
That's<00:17:21.779><c> not</c><00:17:21.980><c> invoking</c><00:17:22.420><c> the</c><00:17:22.660><c> divine</c><00:17:22.880><c> name,</c><00:17:23.119><c> but</c><00:17:23.319><c> Jesus</c><00:17:23.619><c> said</c>

00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:24.480
it<00:17:24.079><c> is.</c>

00:17:24.900 --> 00:17:28.119
Now,<00:17:25.059><c> when</c><00:17:25.160><c> you</c><00:17:25.299><c> come</c><00:17:25.539><c> back</c><00:17:25.740><c> to</c><00:17:25.880><c> Matthew</c><00:17:26.220><c> 5,</c><00:17:26.779><c> brethren</c><00:17:26.980><c> and</c><00:17:27.220><c> sisters,</c>

00:17:29.859 --> 00:17:33.220
you<00:17:30.440><c> can't</c><00:17:30.859><c> escape</c><00:17:31.299><c> any</c><00:17:31.579><c> responsibility</c><00:17:32.380><c> when</c><00:17:32.700><c> you</c><00:17:32.880><c> take</c><00:17:33.039><c> a</c>

00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:40.339
Now,<00:17:37.220><c> they</c><00:17:37.480><c> swore</c><00:17:37.740><c> by</c><00:17:38.000><c> heaven</c><00:17:38.220><c> or</c><00:17:38.400><c> by</c><00:17:38.660><c> earth.</c><00:17:39.559><c> So</c><00:17:39.700><c> we</c><00:17:39.799><c> read</c><00:17:40.039><c> in</c>

00:17:40.339 --> 00:17:42.680

00:17:47.960 --> 00:17:49.460
It's<00:17:48.160><c> God's</c><00:17:48.700><c> throne.</c>

00:17:51.140 --> 00:17:55.640
Don't<00:17:51.579><c> swear</c><00:17:51.779><c> by</c><00:17:52.039><c> the</c><00:17:52.200><c> earth.</c><00:17:53.099><c> Why?</c><00:17:53.839><c> Because</c><00:17:54.339><c> it's</c><00:17:54.799><c> His</c><00:17:55.039><c> footstool.</c>

00:17:56.119 --> 00:18:00.000
Let's<00:17:56.519><c> consider</c><00:17:56.920><c> that.</c><00:17:57.759><c> You</c><00:17:57.839><c> see</c><00:17:57.960><c> what</c><00:17:58.079><c> He's</c><00:17:58.220><c> saying?</c><00:17:58.680><c> You</c><00:17:58.799><c> can't</c><00:17:59.420><c> miss</c><00:17:59.720><c> out</c><00:17:59.859><c> on</c>

the<00:18:00.160><c> obligation.</c>

00:18:02.019 --> 00:18:04.839
If<00:18:02.140><c> you</c><00:18:02.279><c> swear</c><00:18:02.460><c> by</c><00:18:02.799><c> heaven,</c><00:18:03.099><c> it's</c><00:18:03.299><c> connected</c><00:18:03.619><c> with</c><00:18:03.819><c> God.</c>

00:18:05.480 --> 00:18:08.140
And<00:18:05.680><c> whether</c><00:18:05.859><c> you</c><00:18:06.140><c> thought</c><00:18:06.559><c> that</c><00:18:06.740><c> you</c><00:18:06.880><c> had</c><00:18:07.019><c> escaped</c><00:18:07.339><c> your</c><00:18:07.619><c> responsibility</c><00:18:07.900><c> or</c>

00:18:08.140 --> 00:18:10.740
not,<00:18:08.339><c> you</c><00:18:08.440><c> haven't</c><00:18:08.819><c> because</c><00:18:09.039><c> it's</c><00:18:09.400><c> God's</c><00:18:10.160><c> throne.</c>

00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:13.700
Oh,<00:18:11.480><c> we</c><00:18:11.539><c> come</c><00:18:11.740><c> down,</c><00:18:12.099><c> right</c><00:18:12.380><c> down</c><00:18:12.539><c> at</c><00:18:12.680><c> the</c><00:18:12.839><c> earth,</c><00:18:13.019><c> and</c><00:18:13.119><c> we</c><00:18:13.279><c> swear</c><00:18:13.420><c> by</c>

00:18:14.259 --> 00:18:16.880
Surely<00:18:14.579><c> that's</c><00:18:14.980><c> unrelated</c><00:18:15.319><c> to</c><00:18:15.500><c> God,</c><00:18:15.759><c> is</c><00:18:15.920><c> it?</c><00:18:16.319><c> The</c><00:18:16.579><c> Scripture</c>

00:19:13.140 --> 00:19:15.160
It's<00:19:13.339><c> interesting</c><00:19:13.720><c> just</c><00:19:13.900><c> to</c><00:19:14.059><c> see</c><00:19:14.240><c> some</c><00:19:14.440><c> of</c><00:19:14.519><c> these</c><00:19:14.700><c> contexts</c>

00:19:26.380 --> 00:19:28.119
Thus<00:19:26.599><c> saith</c><00:19:27.019><c> Yahweh,</c>

00:29:00.619 --> 00:29:03.180
What<00:29:00.819><c> an</c><00:29:01.220><c> incredible</c><00:29:01.660><c> folly</c><00:29:01.980><c> that</c><00:29:02.240><c> is.</c>

00:29:03.500 --> 00:29:06.299

the<00:29:08.420><c> Lord</c><00:29:08.579><c> may</c><00:29:08.799><c> have</c><00:29:09.039><c> said,</c>

00:29:09.240 --> 00:29:12.220

00:29:12.700 --> 00:29:16.019

00:29:17.099 --> 00:29:20.880

00:29:22.259 --> 00:29:26.099
When<00:29:22.380><c> they</c><00:29:22.559><c> come</c><00:29:22.740><c> to</c><00:29:22.960><c> realize</c><00:29:23.319><c> that,</c><00:29:23.960><c> swear</c><00:29:24.539><c> not</c><00:29:24.980><c> at</c><00:29:25.200><c> all,</c><00:29:26.099><c> was</c>

00:29:26.099 --> 00:29:28.640
the<00:29:26.660><c> instruction</c><00:29:27.119><c> of</c><00:29:27.339><c> our</c><00:29:27.460><c> Lord</c><00:29:27.660><c> Jesus</c><00:29:28.119><c> Christ.</c>

00:29:28.640 --> 00:29:33.359
Let<00:29:29.279><c> your</c><00:29:29.660><c> yay</c><00:29:30.180><c> be</c><00:29:30.640><c> yay,</c><00:29:31.339><c> and</c><00:29:31.500><c> your</c><00:29:31.779><c> nay,</c><00:29:32.460><c> nay.</c>

00:29:33.880 --> 00:29:36.339
Now<00:29:34.119><c> I</c><00:29:34.119><c> don't</c><00:29:34.420><c> believe</c><00:29:34.819><c> the</c><00:29:35.000><c> Lord</c><00:29:35.180><c> was</c><00:29:35.380><c> saying</c><00:29:35.799><c> that</c><00:29:35.960><c> when</c><00:29:36.099><c> we</c>

00:29:36.339 --> 00:29:39.819
say<00:29:36.500><c> yes,</c><00:29:36.920><c> we</c><00:29:37.019><c> say</c><00:29:37.180><c> it</c><00:29:37.380><c> twice,</c><00:29:38.039><c> or</c><00:29:38.299><c> we</c><00:29:38.460><c> say</c><00:29:38.640><c> no,</c><00:29:39.119><c> we</c><00:29:39.119><c> say</c><00:29:39.259><c> it</c><00:29:39.460><c> twice.</c>

00:29:39.900 --> 00:29:44.900
Although<00:29:40.200><c> He</c><00:29:40.400><c> had</c><00:29:40.660><c> a</c><00:29:40.680><c> habit</c><00:29:40.819><c> Himself</c><00:29:41.279><c> of</c><00:29:41.539><c> saying</c><00:29:42.160><c> verily,</c><00:29:42.980><c> verily,</c><00:29:43.599><c> truly,</c><00:29:44.180><c> truly,</c><00:29:44.619><c> to</c>

00:29:47.220 --> 00:29:48.839
But<00:29:47.359><c> that's</c><00:29:47.539><c> a</c><00:29:47.680><c> different</c><00:29:47.880><c> thing.</c>

00:29:49.240 --> 00:29:51.579
Here<00:29:49.460><c> it's</c><00:29:49.700><c> our</c><00:29:49.900><c> word,</c><00:29:50.539><c> either</c><00:29:50.920><c> yes</c><00:29:51.119><c> or</c><00:29:51.279><c> no.</c>

00:29:51.799 --> 00:29:53.559
Can't<00:29:52.099><c> we</c><00:29:52.240><c> say</c><00:29:52.400><c> yes</c><00:29:52.599><c> or</c><00:29:52.799><c> no?</c>

00:29:54.279 --> 00:29:56.339
Why<00:29:54.619><c> can't</c><00:29:54.799><c> we</c><00:29:54.960><c> say</c><00:29:55.079><c> yes</c><00:29:55.299><c> or</c><00:29:55.480><c> no?</c>

00:29:56.759 --> 00:29:58.420
What's<00:29:57.359><c> the</c><00:29:57.420><c> problem?</c>

00:29:59.700 --> 00:30:02.019
You<00:29:59.740><c> know,</c><00:30:00.059><c> brothers</c><00:30:00.160><c> and</c><00:30:00.359><c> sisters,</c><00:30:01.019><c> when</c><00:30:01.200><c> a</c><00:30:01.359><c> man</c><00:30:01.500><c> or</c><00:30:01.660><c> a</c><00:30:01.779><c> woman</c>

00:30:09.200 --> 00:30:10.339
Isn't<00:30:09.359><c> it?</c>

00:30:10.980 --> 00:30:20.240
If<00:30:11.119><c> we</c><00:30:11.279><c> can't</c><00:30:11.599><c> simply</c><00:30:12.079><c> say</c><00:30:12.660><c> yes</c><00:30:13.480><c> or</c><00:30:14.980><c> no,</c><00:30:17.319><c> without</c><00:30:17.640><c> invoking</c><00:30:18.240><c> some</c><00:30:18.720><c> oath</c><00:30:19.059><c> to</c><00:30:19.299><c> that,</c>

00:30:20.339 --> 00:30:22.000
well<00:30:20.519><c> then</c><00:30:20.680><c> there's</c><00:30:20.980><c> some</c><00:30:21.339><c> doubt</c><00:30:21.619><c> about</c><00:30:21.880><c> it.</c>

00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:28.059
The<00:30:22.160><c> very</c><00:30:22.440><c> way</c><00:30:22.720><c> we</c><00:30:22.839><c> try</c><00:30:23.099><c> to</c><00:30:23.319><c> emphasize</c><00:30:23.720><c> the</c><00:30:23.940><c> thing</c><00:30:24.039><c> to</c><00:30:24.160><c> be</c><00:30:24.319><c> right</c><00:30:24.579><c> or</c><00:30:24.660><c> wrong</c><00:30:24.859><c> is</c><00:30:25.059><c> in</c><00:30:25.119><c> itself</c><00:30:26.119><c> emphasizing</c><00:30:27.660><c> a</c>

00:30:29.279 --> 00:30:33.660
Why<00:30:29.500><c> can't</c><00:30:29.740><c> our</c><00:30:29.940><c> word</c><00:30:30.119><c> be</c><00:30:30.500><c> yes</c><00:30:31.220><c> or</c><00:30:32.440><c> no?</c>

00:30:33.720 --> 00:30:35.559
Why<00:30:34.039><c> must</c><00:30:34.400><c> we</c><00:30:34.500><c> add</c><00:30:34.720><c> things</c><00:30:34.980><c> to</c><00:30:35.200><c> it?</c>

00:30:35.779 --> 00:30:40.119
It's<00:30:36.000><c> because</c><00:30:36.259><c> I</c><00:30:36.460><c> say</c><00:30:36.740><c> we've</c><00:30:37.160><c> got</c><00:30:37.240><c> to</c><00:30:37.480><c> emphasize</c><00:30:37.920><c> something</c><00:30:38.200><c> because</c><00:30:38.720><c> we</c><00:30:39.259><c> feel</c><00:30:39.559><c> there's</c><00:30:39.799><c> a</c><00:30:39.920><c> doubt.</c>

00:30:45.119 --> 00:30:48.759
And<00:30:45.240><c> you</c><00:30:45.240><c> know,</c><00:30:45.960><c> an</c><00:30:46.079><c> oath</c><00:30:46.359><c> weakens</c><00:30:47.039><c> the</c><00:30:47.240><c> point</c><00:30:47.400><c> of</c><00:30:47.680><c> truth</c><00:30:47.940><c> rather</c><00:30:48.519><c> than</c>

00:30:48.759 --> 00:30:50.059
confirms<00:30:49.140><c> it.</c>

00:30:50.859 --> 00:30:53.420
So<00:30:51.299><c> James</c><00:30:51.680><c> says,</c><00:30:52.059><c> let</c><00:30:52.160><c> your</c><00:30:52.539><c> yea</c><00:30:52.859><c> be</c><00:30:53.240><c> yea.</c>

And<00:30:53.579><c> that's</c><00:30:53.660><c> what</c><00:30:53.839><c> Jesus</c><00:30:54.160><c> meant</c><00:30:54.339><c> when</c><00:30:54.500><c> he</c><00:30:54.579><c> said,</c><00:30:55.180><c> let</c><00:30:55.259><c> your</c><00:30:55.539><c> yea</c><00:30:55.759><c> be</c><00:30:56.039><c> yea.</c>

00:31:02.259 --> 00:31:02.900
isn't<00:31:02.500><c> it?</c>

00:31:03.400 --> 00:31:05.400
And<00:31:03.599><c> then</c><00:31:03.720><c> we're</c><00:31:03.819><c> not</c><00:31:04.140><c> invoking</c><00:31:04.579><c> a</c><00:31:04.779><c> divine</c><00:31:05.119><c> oath.</c>

00:36:07.059 --> 00:36:09.940

The<00:40:29.800><c> judges</c><00:40:30.239><c> were</c><00:40:30.579><c> to</c><00:40:30.760><c> determine</c><00:40:31.219><c> what</c><00:40:31.460><c> a</c><00:40:31.659><c> man</c><00:40:31.960><c> was</c><00:40:32.320><c> to</c><00:40:32.519><c> pay</c>

00:40:32.699 --> 00:40:34.659
by<00:40:32.920><c> way</c><00:40:33.159><c> of</c><00:40:33.480><c> compensation,</c>

00:40:34.940 --> 00:40:37.480
which<00:40:35.199><c> again</c><00:40:35.559><c> proved</c><00:40:35.860><c> it</c><00:40:35.980><c> wasn't</c><00:40:36.300><c> the</c><00:40:36.480><c> Law</c><00:40:36.599><c> of</c><00:40:36.820><c> retaliation</c>

00:40:37.480 --> 00:40:38.880
at<00:40:37.860><c> all.</c>

00:40:39.519 --> 00:40:41.539
And<00:40:39.659><c> it</c><00:40:39.820><c> also</c><00:40:40.139><c> proved</c><00:40:40.500><c> this,</c>

00:40:43.320 --> 00:40:45.480
that<00:40:43.500><c> all</c><00:40:43.820><c> such</c><00:40:44.079><c> matters,</c><00:40:44.699><c> eye</c><00:40:45.000><c> for</c><00:40:45.179><c> an</c><00:40:45.340><c> eye</c>

00:40:47.239 --> 00:40:50.860
were<00:40:47.519><c> determined</c><00:40:48.360><c> by</c><00:40:49.420><c> the</c><00:40:49.719><c> panel</c><00:40:49.920><c> of</c><00:40:50.159><c> the</c><00:40:50.420><c> judges.</c>

00:40:51.019 --> 00:40:54.460
It<00:40:51.340><c> was</c><00:40:51.760><c> not</c><00:40:52.139><c> left</c><00:40:52.519><c> up</c><00:40:52.860><c> to</c><00:40:53.059><c> a</c><00:40:53.360><c> personal</c><00:40:53.760><c> application</c>

00:40:54.460 --> 00:40:56.940
of<00:40:54.739><c> retaliation</c><00:40:55.500><c> against</c><00:40:55.800><c> your</c><00:40:55.980><c> enemy.</c>

00:40:57.920 --> 00:40:59.679
The<00:40:57.980><c> Lord</c><00:40:58.280><c> did</c><00:40:58.579><c> not</c><00:40:58.820><c> say,</c><00:40:59.000><c> he</c><00:40:59.079><c> did</c><00:40:59.260><c> that</c><00:40:59.440><c> to</c><00:40:59.500><c> you,</c>

00:40:59.719 --> 00:41:00.579
you<00:40:59.840><c> go</c><00:41:00.000><c> and</c><00:41:00.119><c> do</c><00:41:00.219><c> that</c><00:41:00.380><c> to</c><00:41:00.460><c> him.</c>

00:41:00.679 --> 00:41:02.179
It<00:41:00.820><c> never</c><00:41:00.940><c> said</c><00:41:01.159><c> that.</c>

00:41:02.260 --> 00:41:05.500
It<00:41:02.440><c> never</c><00:41:02.739><c> gave</c><00:41:02.920><c> you</c><00:41:03.280><c> any</c><00:41:03.579><c> right</c><00:41:03.820><c> whatever</c><00:41:04.199><c> to</c><00:41:04.400><c> do</c><00:41:04.579><c> that.</c>

00:41:05.739 --> 00:41:07.360
But<00:41:06.019><c> you,</c><00:41:06.480><c> as</c><00:41:06.579><c> much</c><00:41:06.820><c> as</c><00:41:07.039><c> him,</c>

00:41:07.579 --> 00:41:11.659
had<00:41:07.860><c> to</c><00:41:08.159><c> do</c><00:41:08.380><c> exactly</c><00:41:09.219><c> what</c><00:41:09.719><c> the</c><00:41:10.099><c> judges</c><00:41:10.440><c> determined.</c>

00:41:12.460 --> 00:41:14.420
And<00:41:12.559><c> so</c><00:41:12.659><c> you</c><00:41:12.699><c> can</c><00:41:12.880><c> see</c><00:41:13.000><c> what's</c><00:41:13.260><c> going</c><00:41:13.380><c> to</c><00:41:13.559><c> happen.</c>

00:41:15.659 --> 00:41:18.320
Paul<00:41:15.920><c> may</c><00:41:16.480><c> knock</c><00:41:16.699><c> my</c><00:41:16.940><c> eye</c><00:41:17.099><c> out</c><00:41:17.300><c> or</c><00:41:17.460><c> something.</c>

00:41:18.860 --> 00:41:20.659
Instinctively,<00:41:19.360><c> following</c><00:41:19.699><c> my</c><00:41:20.079><c> human</c><00:41:20.300><c> instincts,</c>

00:41:20.840 --> 00:41:22.619
I'm<00:41:21.019><c> going</c><00:41:21.099><c> to</c><00:41:21.099><c> knock</c><00:41:21.320><c> his</c><00:41:21.579><c> eye</c><00:41:21.780><c> out.</c>

00:41:23.559 --> 00:41:26.179
That's<00:41:23.960><c> how</c><00:41:24.360><c> the</c><00:41:24.579><c> Jews</c><00:41:24.760><c> understood</c><00:41:25.340><c> eye</c><00:41:25.760><c> for</c><00:41:25.900><c> an</c><00:41:26.079><c> eye</c>

00:41:26.179 --> 00:41:27.840
and<00:41:26.340><c> a</c><00:41:26.500><c> tooth</c><00:41:26.639><c> for</c><00:41:26.860><c> a</c><00:41:26.960><c> tooth.</c>

00:41:28.019 --> 00:41:29.559
But<00:41:28.179><c> the</c><00:41:28.320><c> Law</c><00:41:28.500><c> of</c><00:41:28.679><c> Moses</c><00:41:29.119><c> said,</c>

00:41:29.860 --> 00:41:30.760
he's<00:41:30.099><c> knocked</c><00:41:30.300><c> your</c><00:41:30.519><c> eye</c><00:41:30.619><c> out,</c>

00:41:30.860 --> 00:41:32.780
he<00:41:30.960><c> must</c><00:41:31.199><c> pay</c><00:41:31.480><c> compensation.</c>

00:41:33.559 --> 00:41:36.719
And<00:41:33.760><c> that</c><00:41:33.960><c> won't</c><00:41:34.179><c> be</c><00:41:34.360><c> left</c><00:41:34.539><c> up</c><00:41:34.760><c> to</c><00:41:34.880><c> me</c><00:41:35.159><c> to</c><00:41:35.340><c> say</c><00:41:35.480><c> what</c><00:41:35.699><c> he</c><00:41:35.900><c> pays.</c>

00:41:37.340 --> 00:41:38.920
Because<00:41:37.739><c> I'm</c><00:41:38.059><c> a</c><00:41:38.099><c> bit</c><00:41:38.219><c> upset</c><00:41:38.579><c> about</c><00:41:38.800><c> it.</c>

00:41:38.940 --> 00:41:39.619
I'm<00:41:39.139><c> a</c><00:41:39.260><c> bit</c><00:41:39.420><c> wild.</c>

00:41:39.679 --> 00:41:41.119
I'm<00:41:39.840><c> a</c><00:41:39.920><c> bit</c><00:41:40.059><c> irrational.</c>

00:41:42.360 --> 00:41:43.960
I'm<00:41:42.760><c> likely</c><00:41:42.900><c> to</c><00:41:43.079><c> say</c><00:41:43.260><c> stupid</c><00:41:43.719><c> things.</c>

00:41:44.119 --> 00:41:45.659
I'm<00:41:44.340><c> going</c><00:41:44.440><c> to</c><00:41:44.519><c> be</c><00:41:44.639><c> a</c><00:41:44.659><c> bit</c><00:41:44.880><c> vindictive.</c>

00:41:45.980 --> 00:41:47.360
It's<00:41:46.280><c> not</c><00:41:46.460><c> left</c><00:41:46.679><c> up</c><00:41:46.920><c> to</c><00:41:47.079><c> me.</c>

00:41:47.639 --> 00:41:49.099
I've<00:41:48.039><c> got</c><00:41:48.119><c> to</c><00:41:48.159><c> go</c><00:41:48.340><c> to</c><00:41:48.480><c> the</c><00:41:48.760><c> judges</c>

00:41:49.099 --> 00:41:50.460
and<00:41:49.400><c> they</c><00:41:49.800><c> will</c><00:41:49.960><c> determine.</c>

00:41:50.699 --> 00:41:52.400
Paul<00:41:50.960><c> has</c><00:41:51.179><c> to</c><00:41:51.280><c> agree</c><00:41:51.500><c> what</c><00:41:51.679><c> the</c><00:41:51.860><c> judges</c><00:41:52.059><c> say.</c>

00:41:52.820 --> 00:41:54.599
I<00:41:53.059><c> have</c><00:41:53.280><c> to</c><00:41:53.440><c> agree</c><00:41:53.599><c> what</c><00:41:53.739><c> the</c><00:41:54.000><c> judges</c><00:41:54.239><c> say.</c>

00:41:54.820 --> 00:41:56.980
And<00:41:54.900><c> we've</c><00:41:55.099><c> got</c><00:41:55.179><c> to</c><00:41:55.340><c> accept</c><00:41:55.659><c> their</c><00:41:55.920><c> decision.</c>

00:41:57.780 --> 00:42:00.599
That<00:41:57.920><c> is</c><00:41:58.300><c> not</c><00:41:59.239><c> retaliation</c>

00:42:00.760 --> 00:42:02.000
between<00:42:01.239><c> brother</c><00:42:01.539><c> and</c><00:42:01.760><c> brother,</c>

00:42:02.079 --> 00:42:04.800
as<00:42:02.280><c> the</c><00:42:02.519><c> Jews</c><00:42:02.739><c> interpreted</c><00:42:03.239><c> that,</c><00:42:03.739><c> brethren</c><00:42:03.739><c> and</c><00:42:04.059><c> sisters.</c>

00:42:04.980 --> 00:42:07.579
Now<00:42:05.179><c> that's</c><00:42:05.300><c> what</c><00:42:05.500><c> the</c><00:42:05.639><c> Lord</c><00:42:05.800><c> was</c><00:42:06.019><c> teaching</c><00:42:06.300><c> them,</c><00:42:06.500><c> first</c><00:42:06.840><c> of</c><00:42:07.079><c> all.</c>

00:42:08.019 --> 00:42:10.760
So<00:42:08.219><c> it</c><00:42:08.239><c> was</c><00:42:08.539><c> wrong</c><00:42:08.940><c> to</c><00:42:09.260><c> think</c><00:42:09.420><c> that</c><00:42:09.559><c> it</c><00:42:09.659><c> was</c><00:42:09.780><c> the</c><00:42:09.900><c> law</c><00:42:10.019><c> of</c><00:42:10.260><c> retaliation.</c>

00:42:10.780 --> 00:42:11.360
It<00:42:10.840><c> was</c><00:42:11.099><c> not.</c>

00:42:11.659 --> 00:42:13.659
It<00:42:11.739><c> was</c><00:42:11.980><c> the</c><00:42:12.039><c> law</c><00:42:12.219><c> of</c><00:42:12.579><c> compensation.</c>

00:42:13.800 --> 00:42:16.460
Ah,<00:42:14.280><c> but</c><00:42:14.519><c> now</c><00:42:14.940><c> comes</c><00:42:15.340><c> the</c><00:42:15.619><c> issue.</c>

00:42:17.019 --> 00:42:19.920
Come<00:42:17.579><c> back</c><00:42:17.760><c> to</c><00:42:17.860><c> Matthew</c><00:42:18.239><c> 5.</c>

00:42:21.219 --> 00:42:22.480
Now<00:42:21.380><c> we</c><00:42:21.559><c> come,</c><00:42:21.860><c> brethren</c><00:42:22.019><c> and</c><00:42:22.260><c> sisters,</c>

00:42:22.579 --> 00:42:24.980
to<00:42:22.920><c> the</c><00:42:23.079><c> teachings</c><00:42:23.420><c> of</c><00:42:23.639><c> our</c><00:42:23.739><c> Lord</c><00:42:23.960><c> Jesus</c><00:42:24.440><c> Christ,</c>

00:42:25.480 --> 00:42:28.920
which<00:42:25.840><c> again</c><00:42:26.559><c> interpret</c><00:42:27.179><c> the</c><00:42:27.500><c> spirit</c><00:42:27.780><c> of</c><00:42:27.980><c> the</c><00:42:28.099><c> law.</c>

00:42:29.280 --> 00:42:31.400
And<00:42:29.519><c> what</c><00:42:29.719><c> was</c><00:42:29.980><c> the</c><00:42:30.139><c> spirit</c><00:42:30.420><c> of</c><00:42:30.559><c> the</c><00:42:30.639><c> law?</c>

00:42:31.480 --> 00:42:32.980
The<00:42:31.739><c> spirit</c><00:42:32.019><c> of</c><00:42:32.159><c> the</c><00:42:32.239><c> law</c><00:42:32.440><c> was</c>

00:42:32.980 --> 00:42:38.880
that<00:42:33.340><c> we</c><00:42:33.679><c> don't</c><00:42:34.179><c> even</c><00:42:35.920><c> worry</c><00:42:36.619><c> about</c><00:42:37.559><c> compensation.</c>

00:42:40.900 --> 00:42:42.440
Now<00:42:41.400><c> you</c><00:42:41.579><c> think</c><00:42:41.800><c> about</c><00:42:42.139><c> that.</c>

00:42:42.599 --> 00:42:44.480
Look,<00:42:43.639><c> resist</c><00:42:43.980><c> not</c><00:42:44.260><c> evil,</c>

00:42:44.480 --> 00:42:46.719
but<00:42:44.780><c> whoso</c><00:42:45.039><c> shall</c><00:42:45.360><c> smite</c><00:42:45.760><c> thee</c><00:42:45.900><c> on</c><00:42:46.019><c> the</c><00:42:46.139><c> right</c><00:42:46.440><c> cheek,</c>

00:42:47.199 --> 00:42:49.000

00:42:49.099 --> 00:42:50.559
If<00:42:49.239><c> any</c><00:42:49.480><c> man</c><00:42:49.599><c> will</c><00:42:49.900><c> sue</c><00:42:50.039><c> thee</c><00:42:50.159><c> at</c><00:42:50.239><c> the</c><00:42:50.380><c> law</c>

00:43:11.980 --> 00:43:16.579
The<00:43:12.659><c> law</c><00:43:12.900><c> of</c><00:43:13.039><c> Moses</c><00:43:13.500><c> was</c><00:43:14.659><c> the</c><00:43:14.960><c> law</c><00:43:15.340><c> of</c><00:43:15.699><c> compensation</c>

00:43:44.320 --> 00:43:47.639
Now<00:43:44.519><c> look</c><00:43:44.739><c> how</c><00:43:44.920><c> that</c><00:43:45.539><c> soars</c><00:43:45.980><c> above</c><00:43:46.320><c> human</c><00:43:46.699><c> thinking.</c>

00:43:48.139 --> 00:43:50.599
So<00:43:48.300><c> instead</c><00:43:48.579><c> of</c><00:43:48.760><c> accepting</c><00:43:49.260><c> compensation,</c>

00:43:50.820 --> 00:43:53.679
we<00:43:50.920><c> are</c><00:43:51.019><c> prepared</c><00:43:51.440><c> to</c><00:43:51.679><c> voluntarily</c><00:43:52.179><c> give</c><00:43:52.840><c> further</c>

00:43:55.719 --> 00:43:57.900
in<00:43:55.900><c> order</c><00:43:56.079><c> that</c><00:43:56.239><c> we</c><00:43:56.300><c> may</c><00:43:56.639><c> overcome</c><00:43:57.360><c> the</c><00:43:57.659><c> evil</c>

00:43:57.900 --> 00:44:00.920
of<00:43:58.099><c> the</c><00:43:58.280><c> person</c><00:43:58.880><c> so</c><00:43:59.579><c> worrying</c><00:43:59.940><c> us.</c>

00:44:01.619 --> 00:44:04.900
That<00:44:02.300><c> soars</c><00:44:02.980><c> above</c><00:44:03.300><c> human</c><00:44:03.639><c> interpretation.</c>

00:44:05.300 --> 00:44:06.539
And<00:44:05.500><c> when</c><00:44:05.659><c> you</c><00:44:05.840><c> think</c><00:44:06.059><c> about</c><00:44:06.300><c> it,</c>

00:44:06.539 --> 00:44:08.739
it<00:44:06.920><c> really</c><00:44:07.340><c> hurts</c><00:44:07.659><c> really</c><00:44:08.079><c> down</c><00:44:08.420><c> deep</c>

00:44:08.739 --> 00:44:11.199
because<00:44:09.139><c> we</c><00:44:09.360><c> don't</c><00:44:09.639><c> practice</c><00:44:10.079><c> that.</c>

00:44:13.000 --> 00:44:16.599
I<00:44:13.239><c> was</c><00:44:13.519><c> casting</c><00:44:13.840><c> about</c><00:44:14.119><c> in</c><00:44:14.320><c> my</c><00:44:14.559><c> mind</c><00:44:14.739><c> when</c><00:44:14.880><c> I</c><00:44:15.000><c> left</c><00:44:15.199><c> home.</c>

00:44:18.320 --> 00:44:21.300
On<00:44:18.519><c> some</c><00:44:18.719><c> matter</c><00:44:18.900><c> I</c><00:44:19.019><c> could</c><00:44:19.260><c> raise</c><00:44:19.559><c> that</c><00:44:19.659><c> would</c><00:44:19.800><c> illustrate</c><00:44:20.260><c> that.</c>

00:44:21.380 --> 00:44:24.000
Very<00:44:21.599><c> difficult</c><00:44:22.039><c> perhaps</c><00:44:22.480><c> to</c><00:44:22.739><c> take</c><00:44:22.960><c> a</c><00:44:23.559><c> illustration</c>

00:44:24.000 --> 00:44:26.579
that<00:44:24.199><c> would</c><00:44:24.400><c> help</c><00:44:24.579><c> us</c><00:44:24.840><c> in</c><00:44:25.019><c> our</c><00:44:25.219><c> 20th</c><00:44:25.639><c> century.</c>

00:44:27.119 --> 00:44:29.099
But<00:44:27.280><c> it</c><00:44:27.440><c> came</c><00:44:27.559><c> to</c><00:44:27.699><c> my</c><00:44:27.940><c> mind</c>

00:44:29.599 --> 00:44:32.099
that<00:44:30.079><c> we</c><00:44:30.219><c> had</c><00:44:30.300><c> a</c><00:44:30.480><c> discussion</c><00:44:30.800><c> among</c><00:44:31.260><c> several</c><00:44:31.800><c> brethren,</c>

00:44:32.260 --> 00:44:33.579
and<00:44:32.300><c> this</c><00:44:32.500><c> has</c><00:44:32.679><c> happened</c><00:44:32.860><c> more</c><00:44:33.139><c> than</c><00:44:33.340><c> once,</c>

00:44:33.619 --> 00:44:35.260
about<00:44:33.980><c> this</c><00:44:34.539><c> camp</c><00:44:34.760><c> we're</c><00:44:34.940><c> going</c><00:44:35.019><c> to</c><00:44:35.159><c> buy.</c>

00:44:35.260 --> 00:44:36.559
This<00:44:35.420><c> is</c><00:44:35.619><c> not</c><00:44:35.780><c> a</c><00:44:35.900><c> plug</c><00:44:36.019><c> for</c><00:44:36.219><c> the</c><00:44:36.420><c> camp.</c>

00:44:36.639 --> 00:44:37.300
Not<00:44:36.780><c> to</c><00:44:36.920><c> do</c><00:44:37.039><c> with</c><00:44:37.159><c> that.</c>

00:44:37.300 --> 00:44:38.320
I'm<00:44:37.480><c> dealing</c><00:44:37.639><c> with</c><00:44:37.800><c> the</c><00:44:37.960><c> principle.</c>

00:44:38.659 --> 00:44:41.519
I'm<00:44:38.800><c> not</c><00:44:39.119><c> so</c><00:44:39.400><c> mercenary</c><00:44:39.739><c> to</c><00:44:39.920><c> introduce</c><00:44:40.300><c> that</c><00:44:40.559><c> matter</c><00:44:40.699><c> in</c><00:44:40.940><c> this</c><00:44:41.260><c> way.</c>

00:44:41.699 --> 00:44:43.500
It's<00:44:42.039><c> got</c><00:44:42.119><c> to</c><00:44:42.280><c> do</c><00:44:42.380><c> with</c><00:44:42.539><c> principle.</c>

00:44:44.019 --> 00:44:45.559
One<00:44:44.099><c> of</c><00:44:44.239><c> the</c><00:44:44.380><c> objections</c><00:44:44.780><c> is</c>

00:44:45.559 --> 00:44:47.119
that<00:44:45.900><c> if</c><00:44:46.039><c> we</c><00:44:46.280><c> procure</c><00:44:46.519><c> this</c><00:44:46.860><c> place</c>

00:44:47.119 --> 00:44:49.679
and<00:44:47.320><c> it's</c><00:44:48.019><c> shared</c><00:44:48.199><c> between</c><00:44:48.519><c> all</c><00:44:48.719><c> the</c><00:44:48.880><c> suburban</c><00:44:49.199><c> ecclesias,</c>

00:44:49.800 --> 00:44:52.019
when<00:44:49.980><c> it</c><00:44:50.219><c> comes</c><00:44:50.420><c> to</c><00:44:50.639><c> ecclesial</c><00:44:51.079><c> weekends,</c>

00:44:52.739 --> 00:44:54.960
how<00:44:53.139><c> do</c><00:44:53.320><c> we</c><00:44:53.400><c> know</c><00:44:53.539><c> when</c><00:44:53.679><c> to</c><00:44:53.800><c> get</c><00:44:53.860><c> it</c><00:44:53.980><c> on</c><00:44:54.059><c> the</c><00:44:54.199><c> weekend</c><00:44:54.420><c> when</c><00:44:54.679><c> we</c>

00:44:54.960 --> 00:44:56.019
want<00:44:55.139><c> it?</c>

00:44:57.719 --> 00:44:59.780
Now<00:44:57.920><c> you</c><00:44:58.039><c> think</c><00:44:58.280><c> about</c><00:44:58.599><c> that.</c>

00:45:00.940 --> 00:45:06.019
You<00:45:01.579><c> think</c><00:45:01.920><c> of</c><00:45:02.119><c> how</c><00:45:02.659><c> diabolical</c><00:45:03.619><c> we</c><00:45:03.800><c> really</c><00:45:04.440><c> are</c><00:45:04.619><c> in</c><00:45:04.820><c> our</c><00:45:05.059><c> hearts</c>

00:45:06.599 --> 00:45:13.360
when<00:45:07.239><c> we</c><00:45:07.559><c> can't</c><00:45:07.900><c> even</c><00:45:08.320><c> practice</c><00:45:08.760><c> the</c><00:45:09.119><c> law</c><00:45:09.719><c> of</c><00:45:10.260><c> Matthew</c><00:45:10.739><c> 5</c><00:45:11.199><c> among</c><00:45:11.679><c> our</c><00:45:12.239><c> friends,</c>

00:45:17.340 --> 00:45:18.559
That's<00:45:17.980><c> appalling.</c>

00:45:18.920 --> 00:45:20.840

00:45:40.820 --> 00:45:41.679
It's<00:45:41.179><c> unbelievable.</c>

00:45:41.940 --> 00:45:43.840

00:45:56.079 --> 00:45:56.960
Goodness.

00:45:57.260 --> 00:46:01.659
How<00:45:57.820><c> far</c><00:45:58.380><c> that</c><00:45:59.159><c> soars</c><00:45:59.619><c> above</c><00:46:00.079><c> every</c><00:46:00.579><c> human</c><00:46:00.940><c> consideration.</c>

00:46:02.000 --> 00:46:05.039
It<00:46:02.099><c> would</c><00:46:02.260><c> have</c><00:46:02.420><c> left</c><00:46:02.539><c> them</c><00:46:02.920><c> standing</c><00:46:03.300><c> there</c><00:46:03.619><c> aghast</c><00:46:04.360><c> at</c><00:46:04.519><c> that</c><00:46:04.739><c> teaching,</c>

00:46:06.079 --> 00:46:07.519
And<00:46:06.219><c> you</c><00:46:06.320><c> might</c><00:46:06.519><c> say,</c><00:46:06.679><c> well,</c><00:46:06.760><c> that's</c><00:46:07.079><c> unfair.</c>

00:46:07.760 --> 00:46:08.980
That's<00:46:08.059><c> not</c><00:46:08.219><c> even</c><00:46:08.480><c> being</c><00:46:08.659><c> fair.</c>

00:46:09.219 --> 00:46:12.199
Yes,<00:46:09.460><c> it</c><00:46:09.639><c> is,</c><00:46:09.800><c> you</c><00:46:10.019><c> see,</c><00:46:10.440><c> because</c><00:46:10.719><c> what</c><00:46:11.000><c> you're</c><00:46:11.199><c> trying</c><00:46:11.440><c> to</c><00:46:11.719><c> do</c>

00:46:48.960 --> 00:46:50.980
That's<00:46:49.300><c> what</c><00:46:49.500><c> the</c><00:46:49.679><c> law</c><00:46:49.840><c> of</c><00:46:50.019><c> Moses</c><00:46:50.300><c> was</c><00:46:50.460><c> all</c><00:46:50.659><c> about,</c>

00:46:54.599 --> 00:46:57.519
We've<00:46:55.380><c> been</c><00:46:55.480><c> reading</c><00:46:55.800><c> the</c><00:46:56.059><c> Proverbs.</c>

00:46:58.380 --> 00:47:00.360
These<00:46:58.619><c> are</c><00:46:58.739><c> wonderful</c><00:46:59.239><c> teachings.</c>

00:47:01.059 --> 00:47:05.480
The<00:47:01.239><c> Proverbs</c><00:47:01.579><c> says</c><00:47:02.119><c> in</c><00:47:02.599><c> the</c><00:47:02.820><c> 20th</c><00:47:03.320><c> Proverb</c><00:47:03.639><c> and</c><00:47:03.780><c> verse</c><00:47:04.019><c> 22,</c>

00:47:15.679 --> 00:47:17.179
You<00:47:15.840><c> think</c><00:47:16.019><c> about</c><00:47:16.300><c> that.</c>

00:47:17.679 --> 00:47:20.820
Don't<00:47:18.039><c> try</c><00:47:18.360><c> and</c><00:47:18.579><c> redress</c><00:47:19.019><c> any</c><00:47:19.300><c> evil</c><00:47:19.480><c> against</c><00:47:19.820><c> yourself.</c>

00:47:21.239 --> 00:47:22.599
Don't<00:47:21.559><c> try</c><00:47:21.840><c> and</c><00:47:22.000><c> do</c><00:47:22.179><c> that.</c>

00:47:22.599 --> 00:47:26.719
Pause<00:47:23.539><c> and</c><00:47:23.920><c> consider,</c><00:47:24.719><c> and</c><00:47:25.079><c> wait</c><00:47:25.360><c> on</c><00:47:25.659><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:47:27.019 --> 00:47:30.219
Now<00:47:27.059><c> you</c><00:47:27.159><c> just</c><00:47:27.400><c> take</c><00:47:27.619><c> the</c><00:47:27.739><c> 24th</c><00:47:28.400><c> chapter</c><00:47:28.760><c> of</c><00:47:29.079><c> Proverbs.</c>

00:47:32.840 --> 00:47:35.639
You<00:47:33.000><c> see,</c><00:47:33.239><c> the</c><00:47:33.340><c> Jews</c><00:47:33.539><c> were</c><00:47:33.780><c> wrong</c><00:47:34.000><c> about</c><00:47:34.260><c> the</c><00:47:34.460><c> law</c><00:47:34.639><c> of</c><00:47:34.860><c> retaliation.</c>

The<00:47:35.960><c> law</c><00:47:36.800><c> was</c><00:47:37.019><c> not</c><00:47:37.219><c> teaching</c><00:47:37.579><c> that.</c>

And<00:47:39.079><c> here's</c><00:47:39.340><c> the</c><00:47:39.480><c> witness</c><00:47:39.719><c> to</c><00:47:39.920><c> that,</c>

00:47:53.860 --> 00:47:55.619
Don't<00:47:54.159><c> say</c><00:47:54.400><c> that.</c>

00:47:55.820 --> 00:47:58.199
In<00:47:55.920><c> other</c><00:47:56.119><c> words,</c><00:47:56.380><c> don't</c><00:47:56.639><c> say</c><00:47:57.059><c> the</c><00:47:57.139><c> way</c><00:47:57.380><c> the</c><00:47:57.559><c> Jews</c><00:47:57.679><c> said</c><00:47:57.900><c> it,</c>

00:48:01.260 --> 00:48:04.619
I<00:48:01.579><c> will</c><00:48:01.840><c> do</c><00:48:02.079><c> so</c><00:48:02.300><c> to</c><00:48:02.400><c> him</c><00:48:03.059><c> as</c><00:48:03.420><c> he</c><00:48:03.539><c> hath</c><00:48:03.780><c> done</c><00:48:04.059><c> so</c><00:48:04.300><c> to</c><00:48:04.380><c> me.</c>

00:48:04.679 --> 00:48:06.559
Don't<00:48:04.980><c> say</c><00:48:05.260><c> that.</c>

00:48:08.260 --> 00:48:11.800
But<00:48:08.440><c> do</c><00:48:08.619><c> unto</c><00:48:08.940><c> men</c><00:48:09.360><c> as</c><00:48:09.679><c> you</c><00:48:10.320><c> would</c><00:48:10.500><c> have</c><00:48:10.719><c> them</c><00:48:10.900><c> do</c><00:48:11.119><c> unto</c><00:48:11.460><c> you.</c>

00:48:11.880 --> 00:48:14.059
That's<00:48:12.219><c> the</c><00:48:12.460><c> reverse</c><00:48:12.739><c> of</c><00:48:13.039><c> that</c><00:48:13.280><c> principle.</c>

00:48:16.139 --> 00:48:19.340
And<00:48:16.619><c> so</c><00:48:17.099><c> that's</c><00:48:17.260><c> what</c><00:48:17.500><c> the</c><00:48:17.579><c> Lord</c><00:48:17.760><c> Jesus</c><00:48:18.260><c> Christ</c><00:48:18.659><c> was</c><00:48:19.099><c> trying</c>

00:48:20.340 --> 00:48:24.460
Now<00:48:21.119><c> he</c><00:48:21.260><c> says,</c><00:48:21.960><c> if</c><00:48:21.980><c> a</c><00:48:22.079><c> man</c><00:48:22.360><c> smites</c><00:48:22.679><c> you</c><00:48:22.860><c> on</c><00:48:22.980><c> the</c><00:48:23.119><c> right</c><00:48:23.480><c> cheek,</c>

turn<00:48:25.159><c> to</c><00:48:25.239><c> him</c><00:48:25.460><c> the</c><00:48:25.599><c> other</c><00:48:25.780><c> also.</c>

00:48:26.280 --> 00:48:29.480
Now<00:48:26.420><c> have</c><00:48:26.519><c> you</c><00:48:26.579><c> ever</c><00:48:26.800><c> considered</c><00:48:27.199><c> why</c><00:48:27.440><c> he</c><00:48:27.619><c> says</c><00:48:27.840><c> the</c><00:48:28.159><c> right</c><00:48:28.639><c> cheek?</c>

00:48:29.940 --> 00:48:31.800
What<00:48:30.199><c> difference</c><00:48:30.579><c> would</c><00:48:30.760><c> it</c><00:48:30.920><c> make?</c>

00:48:32.559 --> 00:48:34.260
Well<00:48:32.739><c> it</c><00:48:32.760><c> does</c><00:48:33.000><c> make</c><00:48:33.199><c> a</c><00:48:33.260><c> difference.</c>

00:48:34.519 --> 00:48:36.679
If<00:48:34.599><c> you</c><00:48:34.699><c> were</c><00:48:34.860><c> standing</c><00:48:35.179><c> opposite</c><00:48:35.480><c> me,</c>

00:48:36.980 --> 00:48:38.619
and<00:48:37.159><c> you</c><00:48:37.300><c> hit</c><00:48:37.480><c> me</c><00:48:37.659><c> on</c><00:48:37.760><c> the</c><00:48:37.960><c> right</c><00:48:38.280><c> cheek,</c>

00:48:38.940 --> 00:48:43.659
you'd<00:48:39.079><c> have</c><00:48:39.119><c> to</c><00:48:39.280><c> use</c><00:48:39.440><c> the</c><00:48:39.599><c> back</c><00:48:39.800><c> of</c><00:48:39.860><c> your</c><00:48:40.059><c> hand,</c><00:48:42.659><c> wouldn't</c><00:48:42.760><c> you?</c>

00:48:43.960 --> 00:48:47.079
If<00:48:44.119><c> you</c><00:48:44.219><c> didn't,</c><00:48:45.219><c> you'd</c><00:48:45.500><c> hit</c><00:48:45.579><c> me</c><00:48:45.739><c> on</c><00:48:45.840><c> the</c><00:48:45.920><c> left</c><00:48:46.179><c> cheek.</c>

00:48:47.559 --> 00:48:50.460
And<00:48:48.079><c> you</c><00:48:48.260><c> see,</c><00:48:48.440><c> that</c><00:48:48.659><c> was</c><00:48:49.019><c> a</c><00:48:49.119><c> term</c><00:48:49.380><c> of</c><00:48:49.639><c> insult.</c>

00:48:50.840 --> 00:48:53.800
When<00:48:51.000><c> a</c><00:48:51.079><c> man</c><00:48:51.179><c> hits</c><00:48:51.360><c> you</c><00:48:51.480><c> like</c><00:48:51.760><c> that,</c><00:48:52.340><c> it's</c><00:48:52.679><c> just</c><00:48:52.900><c> angry.</c>

00:48:54.019 --> 00:48:58.500
But<00:48:54.159><c> when</c><00:48:54.280><c> a</c><00:48:54.340><c> man</c><00:48:54.460><c> hits</c><00:48:54.659><c> you</c><00:48:54.900><c> like</c><00:48:55.280><c> that,</c><00:48:56.840><c> it's</c><00:48:57.099><c> contemptuous.</c>

00:48:59.380 --> 00:49:01.059
He'd<00:48:59.619><c> just</c><00:48:59.960><c> smack</c><00:49:00.099><c> you</c><00:49:00.260><c> across</c><00:49:00.480><c> like</c><00:49:00.699><c> that.</c>

00:49:01.400 --> 00:49:03.579
They'd<00:49:01.619><c> hit</c><00:49:01.699><c> you</c><00:49:01.860><c> across</c><00:49:02.000><c> and</c><00:49:02.099><c> your</c><00:49:02.420><c> head</c><00:49:02.760><c> would</c><00:49:03.059><c> snap</c><00:49:03.380><c> back</c>

00:49:03.579 --> 00:49:04.739
like<00:49:03.880><c> that.</c>

00:49:04.820 --> 00:49:06.539
He's<00:49:05.280><c> insulted</c><00:49:05.639><c> you.</c>

00:49:06.760 --> 00:49:09.000
Now<00:49:07.280><c> everyone</c><00:49:07.480><c> that</c><00:49:07.659><c> gets</c><00:49:07.880><c> insulted</c><00:49:08.340><c> like</c><00:49:08.599><c> that,</c><00:49:08.860><c> brothers</c>

00:49:09.000 --> 00:49:09.840
and<00:49:09.199><c> sisters,</c>

00:49:09.840 --> 00:49:17.119
it<00:49:10.840><c> would</c><00:49:11.119><c> be</c><00:49:11.380><c> almost</c><00:49:11.719><c> impossible</c><00:49:12.860><c> to</c><00:49:14.119><c> quell</c><00:49:14.400><c> that</c><00:49:14.800><c> spirit</c><00:49:15.099><c> of</c><00:49:15.460><c> retaliation.</c>

00:49:18.280 --> 00:49:20.860
It<00:49:18.340><c> would</c><00:49:18.559><c> be</c><00:49:18.840><c> so</c><00:49:19.139><c> instinctive.</c>

00:49:21.079 --> 00:49:22.739
It's<00:49:21.340><c> hard</c><00:49:21.539><c> enough</c><00:49:21.699><c> to</c><00:49:21.920><c> be</c><00:49:22.119><c> punched</c><00:49:22.320><c> in</c><00:49:22.500><c> the</c><00:49:22.619><c> jaw.</c>

00:49:22.860 --> 00:49:25.099
Perhaps<00:49:23.039><c> you</c><00:49:23.139><c> might</c><00:49:23.619><c> reel</c><00:49:23.860><c> back</c><00:49:24.099><c> at</c><00:49:24.280><c> admiring</c><00:49:24.659><c> him</c><00:49:24.820><c> for</c><00:49:24.980><c> a</c>

00:49:25.099 --> 00:49:25.900
good<00:49:25.280><c> right</c><00:49:25.579><c> arm.</c>

00:49:26.280 --> 00:49:28.920
But<00:49:26.420><c> when</c><00:49:26.599><c> he</c><00:49:26.679><c> does</c><00:49:27.099><c> this</c><00:49:27.519><c> sort</c><00:49:27.780><c> of</c><00:49:27.940><c> thing,</c>

00:49:29.199 --> 00:49:31.079
it's<00:49:29.760><c> just</c><00:49:30.039><c> contemptuous.</c>

00:49:32.079 --> 00:49:35.719
Your<00:49:32.639><c> body</c><00:49:32.960><c> just</c><00:49:33.559><c> responds</c><00:49:33.880><c> like</c><00:49:34.139><c> an</c><00:49:34.519><c> electric</c><00:49:34.980><c> flash.</c>

00:49:36.219 --> 00:49:37.659
Now<00:49:36.400><c> that's</c><00:49:36.639><c> got</c><00:49:36.719><c> to</c><00:49:36.860><c> be</c><00:49:37.039><c> resistive.</c>

00:49:37.659 --> 00:49:40.380
I'll<00:49:38.199><c> tell</c><00:49:38.280><c> you</c><00:49:38.320><c> what</c><00:49:38.440><c> the</c><00:49:38.639><c> Lord</c><00:49:38.820><c> does</c><00:49:39.179><c> not</c><00:49:39.559><c> mean.</c>

00:49:40.460 --> 00:49:43.219
He<00:49:40.619><c> doesn't</c><00:49:40.960><c> mean</c><00:49:41.239><c> to</c><00:49:41.440><c> turn</c><00:49:41.579><c> around</c><00:49:41.739><c> and</c><00:49:41.940><c> put</c><00:49:42.159><c> the</c><00:49:42.239><c> other</c><00:49:42.380><c> cheek</c><00:49:42.579><c> like</c><00:49:42.860><c> that</c>

00:49:43.219 --> 00:49:44.440
and<00:49:43.340><c> the</c><00:49:43.420><c> other</c><00:49:43.699><c> cheek</c><00:49:43.900><c> like</c><00:49:44.159><c> that.</c>

00:49:44.880 --> 00:49:46.000
He's<00:49:45.159><c> not</c><00:49:45.440><c> saying</c><00:49:45.679><c> that.</c>

00:49:46.420 --> 00:49:49.019
That's<00:49:46.800><c> just</c><00:49:47.039><c> merely</c><00:49:47.219><c> making</c><00:49:47.639><c> yourself</c><00:49:48.039><c> a</c><00:49:48.260><c> martyr.</c>

00:49:49.360 --> 00:49:50.940
You<00:49:49.559><c> know</c><00:49:49.659><c> why</c><00:49:49.860><c> He's</c><00:49:50.059><c> not</c><00:49:50.380><c> saying</c><00:49:50.599><c> that?</c>

00:49:50.960 --> 00:49:53.400
Because<00:49:51.219><c> He</c><00:49:51.380><c> didn't</c><00:49:51.719><c> do</c><00:49:51.980><c> that</c><00:49:52.219><c> Himself.</c>

00:49:54.340 --> 00:49:55.760
Nor<00:49:54.659><c> did</c><00:49:54.800><c> the</c><00:49:55.059><c> Apostle</c><00:49:55.500><c> Paul.</c>

00:49:56.019 --> 00:49:58.880
Both<00:49:56.460><c> the</c><00:49:56.679><c> Lord</c><00:49:56.900><c> and</c><00:49:57.059><c> the</c><00:49:57.239><c> Apostle</c><00:49:57.579><c> Paul</c><00:49:57.960><c> were</c><00:49:58.239><c> hit</c><00:49:58.360><c> upon</c><00:49:58.639><c> the</c>

00:50:01.019 --> 00:50:02.780
Neither<00:50:01.340><c> one</c><00:50:01.639><c> of</c><00:50:01.659><c> them</c><00:50:01.860><c> offered</c><00:50:02.059><c> the</c><00:50:02.320><c> other.</c>

00:50:02.780 --> 00:50:07.880
Not<00:50:04.139><c> literally</c><00:50:04.519><c> they</c><00:50:04.659><c> didn't,</c><00:50:05.239><c> but</c><00:50:05.739><c> spiritually</c><00:50:06.239><c> they</c><00:50:06.579><c> did.</c>

00:50:08.539 --> 00:50:11.119
They<00:50:08.760><c> weren't</c><00:50:09.099><c> just</c><00:50:09.380><c> silly</c><00:50:09.539><c> enough</c><00:50:09.739><c> to</c><00:50:09.840><c> make</c><00:50:09.980><c> themselves</c><00:50:10.440><c> martyrs</c><00:50:11.039><c> for</c>

00:50:11.119 --> 00:50:12.119
martyrs'<00:50:12.119><c> sake.</c>

00:50:12.519 --> 00:50:18.480
What<00:50:12.800><c> that's</c><00:50:13.079><c> saying</c><00:50:13.460><c> is</c><00:50:13.599><c> that</c><00:50:13.800><c> we</c><00:50:13.900><c> should</c><00:50:14.239><c> resist</c><00:50:15.199><c> the</c><00:50:15.599><c> temptation</c><00:50:16.400><c> to</c><00:50:16.699><c> retaliate.</c>

00:50:19.239 --> 00:50:22.280
And<00:50:19.400><c> Jesus</c><00:50:19.739><c> did</c><00:50:20.440><c> and</c><00:50:20.860><c> Paul</c><00:50:21.239><c> did.</c>

00:50:22.300 --> 00:50:25.079
In<00:50:22.400><c> the</c><00:50:22.599><c> 1</c><00:50:22.840><c> Peter</c><00:50:23.239><c> chapter</c><00:50:23.639><c> 2,</c>

00:50:25.280 --> 00:50:28.659
we<00:50:25.420><c> resist</c><00:50:26.159><c> the</c><00:50:26.480><c> impulse</c><00:50:26.820><c> to</c><00:50:27.059><c> retaliate.</c>

00:50:28.739 --> 00:50:30.900
In<00:50:28.940><c> the</c><00:50:29.099><c> 1</c><00:50:29.360><c> Peter</c><00:50:29.679><c> chapter</c><00:50:30.039><c> 2,</c>

00:50:30.900 --> 00:50:34.480
here<00:50:31.820><c> is</c><00:50:32.039><c> the</c><00:50:32.219><c> principle,</c><00:50:32.800><c> brothers</c><00:50:32.800><c> and</c><00:50:32.880><c> sisters.</c>

00:50:34.760 --> 00:50:37.059
Reading<00:50:35.039><c> from</c><00:50:35.300><c> verse</c><00:50:35.500><c> 21,</c>

00:50:38.219 --> 00:50:40.400
For<00:50:38.780><c> even</c><00:50:39.119><c> hereunto</c><00:50:39.659><c> were</c><00:50:39.920><c> ye</c><00:50:40.119><c> called,</c>

00:50:40.460 --> 00:50:42.659
because<00:50:40.739><c> Christ</c><00:50:41.219><c> also</c><00:50:41.800><c> suffered</c><00:50:42.119><c> for</c><00:50:42.460><c> us,</c>

00:50:42.719 --> 00:50:45.719
leaving<00:50:42.980><c> us</c><00:50:43.219><c> an</c><00:50:43.400><c> example</c><00:50:43.760><c> that</c><00:50:43.860><c> ye</c><00:50:44.079><c> should</c><00:50:44.239><c> follow</c><00:50:44.559><c> his</c><00:50:44.880><c> steps,</c>

00:50:45.820 --> 00:50:50.019
who<00:50:45.980><c> did</c><00:50:46.219><c> no</c><00:50:46.500><c> sin,</c><00:50:47.579><c> neither</c><00:50:47.840><c> was</c><00:50:48.119><c> guile</c><00:50:48.420><c> found</c><00:50:48.699><c> in</c><00:50:48.800><c> his</c><00:50:49.079><c> mouth,</c>

00:50:50.079 --> 00:50:52.820
who<00:50:50.280><c> when</c><00:50:50.420><c> he</c><00:50:50.539><c> was</c><00:50:50.739><c> reviled,</c><00:50:51.340><c> reviled</c><00:50:51.639><c> not</c><00:50:51.860><c> again.</c>

00:50:53.119 --> 00:50:55.519
When<00:50:53.320><c> he</c><00:50:53.559><c> suffered,</c><00:50:54.079><c> he</c><00:50:54.380><c> threatened</c><00:50:54.639><c> not,</c>

00:50:55.679 --> 00:50:59.199
but<00:50:55.880><c> committed</c><00:50:56.199><c> himself</c><00:50:56.679><c> to</c><00:50:56.880><c> him</c><00:50:57.119><c> that</c><00:50:57.400><c> judget</c><00:50:57.739><c> righteously.</c>

00:50:59.619 --> 00:51:01.719
Isn't<00:50:59.860><c> that</c><00:50:59.980><c> what</c><00:51:00.139><c> the</c><00:51:00.320><c> Proverb</c><00:51:00.619><c> says?</c>

00:51:02.079 --> 00:51:04.619
You<00:51:02.239><c> don't</c><00:51:02.539><c> recompense</c><00:51:03.059><c> evil,</c><00:51:03.320><c> you</c><00:51:03.460><c> put</c><00:51:03.659><c> your</c><00:51:03.840><c> trust</c><00:51:04.079><c> in</c><00:51:04.360><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:51:04.639 --> 00:51:06.059
That's<00:51:04.920><c> exactly</c><00:51:05.380><c> what</c><00:51:05.579><c> He</c><00:51:05.739><c> did.</c>

00:51:06.059 --> 00:51:08.480
Now<00:51:06.539><c> Peter</c><00:51:06.840><c> doesn't</c><00:51:07.139><c> say</c><00:51:07.579><c> that</c><00:51:07.840><c> when</c><00:51:07.940><c> he</c><00:51:08.059><c> was</c><00:51:08.260><c> smitten,</c>

00:51:08.519 --> 00:51:09.460
he<00:51:08.639><c> turned</c><00:51:08.900><c> the</c><00:51:09.019><c> other</c><00:51:09.239><c> cheek,</c>

00:51:09.519 --> 00:51:10.599
and<00:51:09.619><c> when</c><00:51:09.639><c> he</c><00:51:09.760><c> was</c><00:51:09.920><c> smitten</c><00:51:10.099><c> on</c><00:51:10.260><c> that</c><00:51:10.420><c> cheek,</c>

00:51:10.619 --> 00:51:11.380
he<00:51:10.719><c> turned</c><00:51:10.980><c> back</c><00:51:11.199><c> again.</c>

00:51:11.420 --> 00:51:12.300
He<00:51:11.460><c> doesn't</c><00:51:11.699><c> say</c><00:51:11.980><c> that.</c>

00:51:12.440 --> 00:51:13.800
But<00:51:12.579><c> that's</c><00:51:12.840><c> the</c><00:51:13.099><c> principle</c><00:51:13.440><c> of</c><00:51:13.639><c> it.</c>

00:51:14.260 --> 00:51:15.659
The<00:51:14.420><c> principle</c><00:51:14.659><c> of</c><00:51:14.800><c> it,</c><00:51:14.860><c> when</c><00:51:14.980><c> he</c><00:51:15.099><c> was</c><00:51:15.320><c> reviled,</c>

00:51:15.679 --> 00:51:16.800
he<00:51:15.739><c> didn't</c><00:51:16.059><c> revile</c><00:51:16.599><c> again.</c>

00:51:16.880 --> 00:51:18.739
He<00:51:17.019><c> resisted</c><00:51:17.539><c> that</c><00:51:17.659><c> temptation.</c>

00:51:19.139 --> 00:51:21.699
When<00:51:19.340><c> he</c><00:51:19.619><c> suffered,</c><00:51:19.820><c> he</c><00:51:19.960><c> didn't</c><00:51:20.320><c> threaten</c><00:51:20.760><c> anybody.</c>

00:51:22.760 --> 00:51:24.440
He<00:51:23.039><c> took</c><00:51:23.239><c> it</c><00:51:23.460><c> calmly.</c>

00:51:25.679 --> 00:51:28.380
And<00:51:25.960><c> he</c><00:51:26.159><c> put</c><00:51:26.320><c> his</c><00:51:26.659><c> trust</c><00:51:26.920><c> in</c><00:51:27.280><c> God</c><00:51:27.539><c> that</c><00:51:27.840><c> finally,</c>

00:51:28.420 --> 00:51:29.840
in<00:51:28.579><c> the</c><00:51:28.760><c> Court</c><00:51:28.920><c> of</c><00:51:29.159><c> Appeal</c><00:51:29.440><c> of</c><00:51:29.619><c> Heaven,</c>

00:51:30.000 --> 00:51:31.000
he<00:51:30.179><c> would</c><00:51:30.400><c> be</c><00:51:30.519><c> vindicated.</c>

00:51:31.139 --> 00:51:32.420
That's<00:51:31.340><c> what</c><00:51:31.460><c> he</c><00:51:31.639><c> did.</c>

00:51:32.659 --> 00:51:34.880
So<00:51:32.840><c> the</c><00:51:33.059><c> principle's</c><00:51:33.639><c> not</c><00:51:33.820><c> meant</c><00:51:33.960><c> to</c><00:51:34.119><c> be</c><00:51:34.239><c> taken</c><00:51:34.480><c> literally,</c>

00:51:34.880 --> 00:51:35.780
brothers<00:51:35.139><c> and</c><00:51:35.199><c> sisters,</c>

00:51:36.059 --> 00:51:37.320
but<00:51:36.159><c> to</c><00:51:36.380><c> resist</c><00:51:36.880><c> the</c><00:51:37.099><c> impulse.</c>

00:51:37.420 --> 00:51:39.199
You<00:51:37.519><c> see,</c><00:51:38.019><c> if</c><00:51:38.179><c> I</c><00:51:38.320><c> were</c><00:51:38.420><c> to</c><00:51:38.480><c> hit</c><00:51:38.500><c> on</c><00:51:38.679><c> the</c><00:51:38.800><c> right</c><00:51:39.039><c> cheek</c>

00:51:39.199 --> 00:51:41.639
and<00:51:39.400><c> then</c><00:51:39.860><c> sort</c><00:51:40.019><c> of</c><00:51:40.260><c> arrogantly</c><00:51:40.619><c> stuck</c><00:51:40.880><c> the</c><00:51:41.039><c> other</c><00:51:41.219><c> cheek</c><00:51:41.400><c> around,</c>

00:51:41.699 --> 00:51:43.619
I'm<00:51:41.880><c> not</c><00:51:42.079><c> resisting</c><00:51:42.500><c> the</c><00:51:42.860><c> impulse</c><00:51:43.039><c> to</c><00:51:43.239><c> retaliate.</c>

00:51:43.679 --> 00:51:46.260
I'm<00:51:43.940><c> trying</c><00:51:44.119><c> to</c><00:51:44.340><c> shame</c><00:51:44.519><c> my</c><00:51:44.820><c> brother</c><00:51:45.059><c> by</c><00:51:45.599><c> showing</c><00:51:45.780><c> him</c><00:51:45.940><c> I</c><00:51:46.119><c> take</c>

00:51:46.260 --> 00:51:46.739
it<00:51:46.420><c> literally.</c>

00:51:46.900 --> 00:51:49.460
And<00:51:47.019><c> in</c><00:51:47.159><c> that,</c><00:51:47.780><c> I'm</c><00:51:47.920><c> as</c><00:51:48.119><c> bad</c><00:51:48.300><c> as</c><00:51:48.519><c> he</c><00:51:48.659><c> is.</c>

00:51:50.219 --> 00:51:51.800
You're<00:51:50.400><c> not</c><00:51:50.599><c> resisting</c><00:51:50.960><c> anything.</c>

00:51:52.059 --> 00:51:54.039
Your<00:51:52.360><c> feelings</c><00:51:52.659><c> are</c><00:51:52.800><c> being</c><00:51:53.039><c> expressed</c><00:51:53.420><c> by</c><00:51:53.679><c> turning</c><00:51:53.920><c> the</c>

00:51:54.039 --> 00:51:54.619
other<00:51:54.239><c> cheek.</c>

00:51:55.059 --> 00:51:56.440
Literally,<00:51:55.440><c> if</c><00:51:55.579><c> you</c><00:51:55.639><c> do</c><00:51:55.760><c> it</c><00:51:55.880><c> that</c><00:51:56.059><c> way.</c>

00:51:56.860 --> 00:52:01.500
But<00:51:57.059><c> if</c><00:51:57.199><c> you</c><00:51:57.440><c> suppress</c><00:51:58.000><c> your</c><00:51:58.300><c> feelings</c><00:51:58.719><c> and</c><00:51:59.639><c> look</c><00:51:59.860><c> at</c><00:52:00.000><c> him</c>

00:52:01.960 --> 00:52:03.440
dispassionately,<00:52:02.659><c> with</c><00:52:02.900><c> sad</c><00:52:03.139><c> eyes,</c>

00:52:03.480 --> 00:52:05.719
to<00:52:03.639><c> think</c><00:52:03.760><c> that's</c><00:52:04.119><c> a</c><00:52:04.159><c> sad</c><00:52:04.360><c> thing</c><00:52:04.579><c> that</c><00:52:04.780><c> happened</c><00:52:04.940><c> for</c><00:52:05.159><c> his</c><00:52:05.420><c> sake,</c>

00:52:05.880 --> 00:52:06.920
that<00:52:05.940><c> he's</c><00:52:06.219><c> the</c><00:52:06.239><c> one</c><00:52:06.420><c> that</c><00:52:06.639><c> suffered,</c>

00:52:07.159 --> 00:52:08.280
that's<00:52:07.460><c> a</c><00:52:07.579><c> different</c><00:52:07.800><c> thing.</c>

00:52:08.760 --> 00:52:09.860
And<00:52:08.980><c> you</c><00:52:09.099><c> really</c><00:52:09.380><c> mean</c><00:52:09.519><c> that,</c>

00:52:10.199 --> 00:52:12.579
then<00:52:10.340><c> that's</c><00:52:10.480><c> what</c><00:52:10.699><c> the</c><00:52:10.860><c> Sermon</c><00:52:11.039><c> on</c><00:52:11.119><c> the</c><00:52:11.219><c> Mount's</c><00:52:11.440><c> talking</c><00:52:11.679><c> about.</c>

00:52:12.760 --> 00:52:13.739
We're<00:52:12.900><c> really</c><00:52:13.099><c> talking</c><00:52:13.260><c> about</c><00:52:13.559><c> that.</c>

00:52:13.780 --> 00:52:15.480
You<00:52:13.940><c> feel</c><00:52:14.159><c> sorry</c><00:52:14.519><c> for</c><00:52:14.739><c> him.</c>

00:52:16.239 --> 00:52:18.519
See,<00:52:16.539><c> chapter</c><00:52:16.760><c> 3</c><00:52:17.079><c> and</c><00:52:17.199><c> verse</c><00:52:17.460><c> 9</c><00:52:17.679><c> of</c><00:52:17.820><c> the</c><00:52:17.880><c> 1st</c><00:52:18.159><c> of</c><00:52:18.320><c> Peter,</c>

00:52:18.559 --> 00:52:20.199

00:52:30.420 --> 00:52:32.099
Knowing<00:52:30.820><c> that</c><00:52:31.000><c> you</c><00:52:31.179><c> are</c><00:52:31.320><c> there</c><00:52:31.519><c> unto</c><00:52:31.760><c> call,</c>

00:52:34.260 --> 00:52:35.739
Now<00:52:34.300><c> once</c><00:52:34.619><c> again,</c><00:52:35.119><c> brothers</c><00:52:35.179><c> and</c><00:52:35.420><c> sisters,</c>

00:52:36.059 --> 00:52:38.320
Peter<00:52:36.139><c> wouldn't</c><00:52:36.400><c> have</c><00:52:36.679><c> you</c><00:52:37.019><c> to</c><00:52:37.340><c> be</c><00:52:37.539><c> so</c><00:52:37.760><c> egotistical</c>

00:52:38.320 --> 00:52:40.900
that<00:52:38.460><c> when</c><00:52:38.659><c> a</c><00:52:38.780><c> person</c><00:52:39.179><c> curses</c><00:52:39.880><c> you</c><00:52:40.400><c> and</c><00:52:40.579><c> so</c><00:52:40.719><c> on,</c>

00:52:41.719 --> 00:52:43.960
I<00:52:41.900><c> bless</c><00:52:42.199><c> you,</c><00:52:42.480><c> I</c><00:52:42.599><c> bless</c><00:52:42.960><c> you.</c>

00:52:44.139 --> 00:52:44.920
He's<00:52:44.300><c> not</c><00:52:44.500><c> saying</c><00:52:44.679><c> that.</c>

00:52:44.980 --> 00:52:46.159
He's<00:52:45.139><c> not</c><00:52:45.300><c> mean</c><00:52:45.440><c> to</c><00:52:45.559><c> do</c><00:52:45.679><c> it</c><00:52:45.780><c> literally.</c>

00:52:46.579 --> 00:52:49.579
But<00:52:46.820><c> you,</c><00:52:47.300><c> in</c><00:52:47.500><c> the</c><00:52:47.699><c> sense</c><00:52:47.860><c> that</c><00:52:48.039><c> you</c><00:52:48.199><c> want</c><00:52:48.440><c> that</c><00:52:48.719><c> person</c><00:52:49.000><c> to</c><00:52:49.139><c> be</c><00:52:49.340><c> different,</c>

00:52:49.679 --> 00:52:51.619
that<00:52:49.760><c> you're</c><00:52:50.139><c> sad</c><00:52:50.440><c> that</c><00:52:50.619><c> that</c><00:52:50.860><c> person's</c><00:52:51.199><c> like</c><00:52:51.380><c> that.</c>

00:52:51.800 --> 00:52:53.980
You<00:52:51.960><c> really</c><00:52:52.260><c> would</c><00:52:52.440><c> like</c><00:52:52.599><c> them</c><00:52:52.800><c> to</c><00:52:53.019><c> change.</c>

00:52:54.119 --> 00:52:56.079
But<00:52:54.280><c> they're</c><00:52:54.440><c> only</c><00:52:54.599><c> hurting</c><00:52:54.800><c> themselves,</c><00:52:55.340><c> not</c><00:52:55.639><c> you.</c>

00:52:56.579 --> 00:52:58.380
And<00:52:56.880><c> kindly</c><00:52:57.300><c> put</c><00:52:57.500><c> that</c><00:52:57.719><c> matter</c><00:52:57.860><c> before</c><00:52:58.179><c> them</c>

00:52:58.380 --> 00:53:00.659
and<00:52:58.599><c> show</c><00:52:58.860><c> them</c><00:52:59.019><c> that</c><00:52:59.099><c> you're</c><00:52:59.400><c> above</c><00:52:59.860><c> human</c><00:53:00.219><c> feeling</c>

00:53:00.659 --> 00:53:02.199
and<00:53:01.000><c> you</c><00:53:01.119><c> might</c><00:53:01.360><c> change</c><00:53:01.760><c> that</c><00:53:02.000><c> person.</c>

00:53:02.320 --> 00:53:03.199
That's<00:53:02.679><c> the</c><00:53:02.900><c> issue.</c>

00:53:03.599 --> 00:53:06.599
It's<00:53:03.780><c> a</c><00:53:03.880><c> very</c><00:53:04.079><c> difficult</c><00:53:04.400><c> thing</c><00:53:04.599><c> he's</c><00:53:04.860><c> talking</c><00:53:05.039><c> about,</c><00:53:05.320><c> isn't</c><00:53:05.519><c> it?</c>

00:53:07.179 --> 00:53:08.860
If<00:53:07.300><c> they</c><00:53:07.599><c> sue</c><00:53:07.880><c> the</c><00:53:08.039><c> law,</c><00:53:08.400><c> he</c><00:53:08.619><c> says,</c>

00:53:08.980 --> 00:53:11.199
they<00:53:09.179><c> want</c><00:53:09.360><c> to</c><00:53:09.500><c> take</c><00:53:09.619><c> your</c><00:53:09.900><c> coat,</c><00:53:10.199><c> give</c><00:53:10.260><c> them</c><00:53:10.440><c> the</c><00:53:10.659><c> cloak</c><00:53:10.840><c> also.</c>

00:53:11.280 --> 00:53:13.320
Didn't<00:53:11.460><c> he</c><00:53:11.579><c> do</c><00:53:11.739><c> that,</c><00:53:12.099><c> brothers</c><00:53:12.199><c> and</c><00:53:12.440><c> sisters?</c>

00:53:14.320 --> 00:53:16.440
I<00:53:14.559><c> mean,</c><00:53:14.739><c> he</c><00:53:14.940><c> had</c><00:53:15.360><c> power.</c>

00:53:16.579 --> 00:53:17.980
Even<00:53:16.760><c> though</c><00:53:16.940><c> he</c><00:53:17.000><c> was</c><00:53:17.179><c> nailed</c><00:53:17.360><c> to</c><00:53:17.539><c> the</c><00:53:17.679><c> cross,</c>

00:53:18.199 --> 00:53:20.639
would<00:53:18.340><c> I</c><00:53:18.519><c> not</c><00:53:18.679><c> ask</c><00:53:18.940><c> of</c><00:53:19.079><c> my</c><00:53:19.260><c> father</c><00:53:19.559><c> twelve</c><00:53:19.960><c> leeches</c><00:53:20.260><c> of</c><00:53:20.519><c> ages</c>

00:53:20.639 --> 00:53:22.420
and<00:53:20.840><c> would</c><00:53:21.019><c> he</c><00:53:21.159><c> not</c><00:53:21.300><c> give</c><00:53:21.559><c> them?</c>

00:53:22.840 --> 00:53:25.199
And<00:53:23.139><c> the</c><00:53:23.280><c> question</c><00:53:23.579><c> is,</c><00:53:24.159><c> wouldn't</c><00:53:24.480><c> he?</c>

00:53:25.820 --> 00:53:27.340
Would<00:53:25.980><c> you</c><00:53:26.139><c> dare</c><00:53:26.380><c> to</c><00:53:26.639><c> say,</c>

00:53:27.340 --> 00:53:29.500
knowing<00:53:27.840><c> the</c><00:53:28.059><c> principles</c><00:53:28.320><c> of</c><00:53:28.480><c> the</c><00:53:28.599><c> Atonement</c><00:53:28.860><c> as</c><00:53:29.019><c> we</c><00:53:29.179><c> do,</c>

00:53:29.659 --> 00:53:31.199
would<00:53:29.820><c> you</c><00:53:29.920><c> dare</c><00:53:30.139><c> to</c><00:53:30.320><c> say,</c><00:53:30.539><c> brothers</c><00:53:30.699><c> and</c><00:53:30.780><c> sisters,</c>

00:53:31.440 --> 00:53:33.380
that<00:53:31.480><c> if</c><00:53:31.639><c> the</c><00:53:31.739><c> Son</c><00:53:31.860><c> of</c><00:53:32.000><c> God</c><00:53:32.139><c> asked</c><00:53:32.480><c> twelve</c><00:53:32.800><c> leeches</c><00:53:33.019><c> of</c><00:53:33.260><c> ages</c>

00:53:33.380 --> 00:53:35.679
that<00:53:33.519><c> his</c><00:53:33.699><c> father</c><00:53:34.000><c> wouldn't</c><00:53:34.579><c> have</c><00:53:34.800><c> given</c><00:53:34.940><c> them</c><00:53:35.199><c> to</c><00:53:35.320><c> him?</c>

00:53:36.079 --> 00:53:37.980
He<00:53:36.340><c> said,</c><00:53:37.159><c> would</c><00:53:37.440><c> I</c><00:53:37.579><c> not</c><00:53:37.800><c> ask?</c>

00:53:38.079 --> 00:53:38.880
Would<00:53:38.219><c> he</c><00:53:38.380><c> not</c><00:53:38.539><c> give</c><00:53:38.760><c> them?</c>

00:53:39.000 --> 00:53:41.420
Would<00:53:39.179><c> you</c><00:53:39.320><c> go</c><00:53:39.480><c> to</c><00:53:39.519><c> him</c><00:53:39.679><c> and</c><00:53:39.800><c> say,</c><00:53:40.420><c> no?</c>

00:53:42.659 --> 00:53:43.500
I<00:53:43.079><c> wouldn't.</c>

00:53:43.880 --> 00:53:47.159
And<00:53:44.159><c> so</c><00:53:44.300><c> the</c><00:53:44.420><c> Lord</c><00:53:44.579><c> had</c><00:53:44.760><c> that</c><00:53:45.039><c> power</c><00:53:45.440><c> if</c><00:53:45.679><c> he</c><00:53:45.840><c> wanted</c><00:53:46.039><c> it.</c>

00:53:47.360 --> 00:53:49.820
He<00:53:47.599><c> could</c><00:53:47.780><c> have</c><00:53:48.000><c> rescued</c><00:53:48.380><c> his</c><00:53:49.320><c> coat,</c>

00:53:50.360 --> 00:53:51.980
demanded<00:53:50.699><c> it</c><00:53:51.019><c> back.</c>

00:53:52.480 --> 00:53:54.880
But<00:53:52.659><c> he</c><00:53:52.719><c> let</c><00:53:52.860><c> his</c><00:53:53.159><c> cloak</c><00:53:53.360><c> and</c><00:53:53.699><c> his</c><00:53:53.960><c> coat</c><00:53:54.099><c> go,</c><00:53:54.360><c> didn't</c><00:53:54.559><c> he?</c>

00:53:54.960 --> 00:53:56.519
They<00:53:55.159><c> gambled</c><00:53:55.539><c> for</c><00:53:55.739><c> it.</c>

00:53:56.679 --> 00:53:59.719
So<00:53:57.239><c> he</c><00:53:57.420><c> showed</c><00:53:57.639><c> a</c><00:53:57.900><c> supreme</c><00:53:58.260><c> example</c><00:53:58.739><c> in</c><00:53:58.920><c> that.</c>

00:53:59.940 --> 00:54:01.340
And<00:54:00.000><c> you</c><00:54:00.099><c> know,</c><00:54:00.280><c> then</c><00:54:00.400><c> it</c><00:54:00.480><c> says,</c>

00:54:01.440 --> 00:54:03.519
do<00:54:01.460><c> I</c><00:54:01.599><c> want</c><00:54:01.860><c> to</c><00:54:01.960><c> compel</c><00:54:02.099><c> you</c><00:54:02.260><c> to</c><00:54:02.360><c> go</c><00:54:02.519><c> mild?</c><00:54:02.900><c> Go</c><00:54:03.219><c> to.</c>

00:54:03.800 --> 00:54:06.139
Now<00:54:03.940><c> that's</c><00:54:04.219><c> a</c><00:54:04.380><c> reference</c><00:54:04.639><c> to</c><00:54:04.880><c> a</c><00:54:05.119><c> custom,</c>

00:54:06.420 --> 00:54:09.420
which<00:54:06.519><c> was</c><00:54:06.780><c> practiced,</c><00:54:07.380><c> brothers</c><00:54:07.480><c> and</c><00:54:07.559><c> sisters,</c><00:54:07.920><c> in</c><00:54:08.119><c> those</c><00:54:08.400><c> days,</c>

00:54:10.179 --> 00:54:11.559
by<00:54:10.420><c> a</c><00:54:10.820><c> conquering</c><00:54:11.199><c> army.</c>

00:54:11.980 --> 00:54:15.219
Actually,<00:54:12.300><c> the</c><00:54:12.480><c> Greek</c><00:54:12.719><c> word</c><00:54:13.199><c> means</c><00:54:13.619><c> to</c><00:54:13.800><c> be</c><00:54:13.960><c> a</c><00:54:14.179><c> courier.</c>

00:54:15.780 --> 00:54:19.599
And<00:54:16.099><c> it's</c><00:54:16.360><c> a</c><00:54:16.519><c> word</c><00:54:16.820><c> which</c><00:54:17.119><c> became</c><00:54:17.519><c> applied</c><00:54:18.139><c> to</c><00:54:18.699><c> a</c><00:54:19.039><c> practice</c>

00:54:19.599 --> 00:54:23.760

The<00:54:54.400><c> Romans.</c>

00:54:56.559 --> 00:54:59.000
You<00:54:56.719><c> know,</c><00:54:56.900><c> we've</c><00:54:57.059><c> got</c><00:54:57.139><c> an</c><00:54:57.300><c> example</c><00:54:57.639><c> of</c><00:54:57.739><c> that</c><00:54:57.920><c> in</c><00:54:57.980><c> the</c><00:54:58.139><c> Scripture</c>

00:55:03.559 --> 00:55:06.139
There<00:55:03.679><c> was</c><00:55:03.920><c> a</c><00:55:04.079><c> man</c><00:55:04.519><c> coming</c><00:55:04.940><c> out</c><00:55:05.159><c> of</c><00:55:05.199><c> the</c><00:55:05.400><c> country</c>

00:55:15.639 --> 00:55:19.739
And<00:55:15.860><c> as</c><00:55:16.079><c> he</c><00:55:16.340><c> passed</c><00:55:16.760><c> the</c><00:55:17.059><c> cavalcade</c><00:55:17.599><c> of</c><00:55:17.940><c> the</c><00:55:18.179><c> cross</c><00:55:18.400><c> going</c><00:55:18.780><c> to</c><00:55:19.079><c> Golgotha,</c>

the<00:55:20.099><c> Romans</c><00:55:20.519><c> grabbed</c><00:55:21.119><c> him</c><00:55:21.400><c> and</c><00:55:21.519><c> put</c><00:55:21.719><c> him</c><00:55:21.860><c> into</c><00:55:22.059><c> public</c><00:55:22.519><c> service.</c>

00:55:22.980 --> 00:55:24.500
They<00:55:22.980><c> applied</c><00:55:23.300><c> that</c><00:55:23.619><c> law.</c>

00:55:24.860 --> 00:55:27.079
And<00:55:25.019><c> there</c><00:55:25.139><c> never</c><00:55:25.440><c> was</c><00:55:25.639><c> a</c><00:55:25.780><c> man</c><00:55:25.980><c> who</c><00:55:26.219><c> walked</c><00:55:26.440><c> a</c><00:55:26.599><c> better</c><00:55:26.760><c> mile</c>

Whatever<00:55:29.400><c> his</c><00:55:29.659><c> attitude</c><00:55:30.000><c> may</c><00:55:30.239><c> have</c><00:55:30.440><c> been,</c>

00:55:34.159 --> 00:55:38.119
And<00:55:34.340><c> one</c><00:55:34.500><c> can</c><00:55:34.760><c> just</c><00:55:35.199><c> perhaps</c><00:55:35.579><c> imagine,</c><00:55:36.300><c> we</c><00:55:36.519><c> don't</c><00:55:36.760><c> know</c><00:55:36.940><c> what</c><00:55:37.219><c> happened,</c>

00:55:46.239 --> 00:55:48.739
as<00:55:46.880><c> he</c><00:55:47.119><c> beheld</c><00:55:47.480><c> the</c><00:55:47.699><c> wonder</c><00:55:48.000><c> of</c><00:55:48.199><c> that</c><00:55:48.360><c> man</c>

00:55:48.739 --> 00:55:50.860

00:55:51.260 --> 00:55:53.059
And<00:55:51.360><c> it</c><00:55:51.360><c> could</c><00:55:51.579><c> well</c><00:55:51.780><c> have</c><00:55:51.940><c> been,</c><00:55:52.219><c> brethren</c><00:55:52.340><c> and</c><00:55:52.659><c> sisters,</c>

00:55:53.480 --> 00:55:55.860
it<00:55:53.539><c> would</c><00:55:53.659><c> have</c><00:55:53.760><c> been</c><00:55:53.880><c> the</c><00:55:54.039><c> best</c><00:55:54.320><c> mile</c><00:55:54.559><c> that</c><00:55:54.719><c> he</c><00:55:54.800><c> ever</c><00:55:55.099><c> walked.</c>

00:55:56.420 --> 00:55:59.079
And<00:55:56.619><c> if</c><00:55:56.699><c> he</c><00:55:56.780><c> had</c><00:55:56.920><c> to</c><00:55:57.000><c> go</c><00:55:57.239><c> further,</c><00:55:57.579><c> he</c><00:55:57.719><c> probably</c><00:55:57.980><c> would</c><00:55:58.139><c> have</c><00:55:58.320><c> gone.</c>

00:55:59.820 --> 00:56:01.500
That's<00:56:00.300><c> the</c><00:56:00.480><c> spirit</c><00:56:00.639><c> of</c><00:56:00.800><c> the</c><00:56:01.000><c> truth,</c><00:56:01.179><c> isn't</c><00:56:01.360><c> it?</c>

00:56:01.500 --> 00:56:04.820
That<00:56:01.780><c> is</c><00:56:02.159><c> the</c><00:56:02.460><c> real</c><00:56:03.019><c> spirit</c><00:56:03.539><c> of</c><00:56:03.820><c> the</c><00:56:04.019><c> truth.</c>

00:56:05.940 --> 00:56:09.019
We've<00:56:06.199><c> got</c><00:56:06.219><c> to</c><00:56:06.340><c> be</c><00:56:06.519><c> subject</c><00:56:06.880><c> to</c><00:56:07.159><c> higher</c><00:56:07.480><c> powers</c><00:56:07.860><c> without</c><00:56:08.599><c> bitterness.</c>

00:56:09.500 --> 00:56:10.719
That's<00:56:09.719><c> the</c><00:56:09.900><c> point.</c>

00:56:11.239 --> 00:56:12.480
Romans<00:56:11.599><c> tells</c><00:56:11.900><c> us</c><00:56:12.139><c> that.</c>

00:56:12.920 --> 00:56:14.679
Peter<00:56:13.179><c> tells</c><00:56:13.480><c> us</c><00:56:13.780><c> that.</c>

00:56:15.300 --> 00:56:17.360

00:56:17.980 --> 00:56:19.599
Peter<00:56:18.500><c> says</c><00:56:18.760><c> the</c><00:56:18.980><c> same</c><00:56:19.179><c> thing.</c>

00:56:19.719 --> 00:56:22.380
And<00:56:19.739><c> they</c><00:56:19.920><c> tell</c><00:56:20.139><c> us</c><00:56:20.300><c> we've</c><00:56:20.460><c> got</c><00:56:20.480><c> to</c><00:56:20.519><c> do</c><00:56:20.739><c> that</c><00:56:21.019><c> without</c><00:56:21.420><c> bitterness.</c>

00:56:23.659 --> 00:56:25.840
We've<00:56:23.900><c> got</c><00:56:23.960><c> to</c><00:56:24.019><c> do</c><00:56:24.159><c> it</c><00:56:24.280><c> because</c><00:56:24.460><c> it's</c><00:56:24.920><c> right.</c>

00:56:25.900 --> 00:56:28.159
Because<00:56:26.159><c> the</c><00:56:26.360><c> scripture</c><00:56:26.619><c> says</c><00:56:26.920><c> it's</c><00:56:27.099><c> right.</c>

00:56:28.440 --> 00:56:30.139

01:02:21.139 --> 01:02:23.440
And<01:02:21.320><c> God</c><01:02:21.500><c> is</c><01:02:21.679><c> not</c><01:02:21.820><c> going</c><01:02:22.019><c> to</c><01:02:22.159><c> condemn</c><01:02:22.260><c> you</c><01:02:22.699><c> because</c><01:02:22.980><c> you've</c><01:02:23.139><c> got</c><01:02:23.239><c> a</c>

01:02:25.139 --> 01:02:27.019
He'll<01:02:25.380><c> condemn</c><01:02:25.579><c> you</c><01:02:25.780><c> for</c><01:02:25.920><c> it,</c><01:02:26.019><c> but</c><01:02:26.099><c> that's</c><01:02:26.380><c> not</c><01:02:26.599><c> all</c><01:02:26.780><c> he'll</c>

01:02:28.320 --> 01:02:33.159
Because<01:02:28.659><c> you</c><01:02:29.119><c> simply</c><01:02:29.760><c> do</c><01:02:30.420><c> not</c><01:02:30.980><c> believe</c><01:02:31.800><c> in</c><01:02:32.239><c> God.</c>

01:02:34.679 --> 01:02:37.079
That's<01:02:35.239><c> the</c><01:02:35.460><c> crime,</c><01:02:35.860><c> brethren</c><01:02:35.980><c> and</c><01:02:36.260><c> sisters.</c>

01:02:37.539 --> 01:02:39.320
Because<01:02:37.880><c> God</c><01:02:38.239><c> says,</c>

01:02:40.079 --> 01:02:44.159

Don't<01:02:46.300><c> worry</c><01:02:46.940><c> about</c><01:02:47.260><c> it.</c>

01:02:48.860 --> 01:02:50.599
You'll<01:02:49.239><c> be</c><01:02:49.420><c> looked</c><01:02:49.639><c> after.</c>

01:02:51.260 --> 01:02:54.679
Now<01:02:51.460><c> we</c><01:02:51.639><c> all</c><01:02:52.000><c> find</c><01:02:52.280><c> that</c><01:02:52.500><c> exceedingly</c><01:02:53.119><c> difficult</c><01:02:53.480><c> to</c><01:02:53.719><c> handle.</c>

01:02:54.980 --> 01:02:57.019
Because<01:02:55.079><c> it's</c><01:02:55.260><c> all</c><01:02:55.440><c> a</c><01:02:55.579><c> question</c><01:02:55.780><c> of</c><01:02:56.079><c> faith.</c>

01:02:57.780 --> 01:02:59.559

01:02:59.559 --> 01:03:01.019
about<01:03:00.000><c> than</c><01:03:00.199><c> money.</c>

01:03:02.840 --> 01:03:04.599
Money<01:03:03.099><c> is</c><01:03:03.420><c> very</c><01:03:03.739><c> real.</c>

01:03:04.619 --> 01:03:06.539

01:03:07.099 --> 01:03:08.820
It's<01:03:07.360><c> very</c><01:03:07.619><c> substantial.</c>

01:03:08.840 --> 01:03:10.159
It's<01:03:09.380><c> solid.</c>

01:03:10.739 --> 01:03:13.960
We<01:03:11.079><c> really</c><01:03:11.380><c> know</c><01:03:11.780><c> a</c><01:03:11.940><c> lot</c><01:03:12.099><c> about</c><01:03:12.860><c> money.</c>

01:03:14.519 --> 01:03:18.300

01:03:20.199 --> 01:03:24.340
We'll<01:03:20.340><c> be</c><01:03:20.619><c> faithful</c><01:03:20.960><c> in</c><01:03:21.179><c> almost</c><01:03:21.480><c> anything</c><01:03:22.079><c> except</c><01:03:23.059><c> money.</c>

01:03:25.360 --> 01:03:28.659
We<01:03:25.579><c> will</c><01:03:25.980><c> not</c><01:03:26.219><c> be</c><01:03:26.500><c> faithful</c><01:03:26.860><c> in</c><01:03:27.119><c> the</c><01:03:27.239><c> matter</c><01:03:27.539><c> of</c><01:03:27.820><c> money.</c>

You<01:03:38.659><c> know,</c><01:03:38.960><c> brethren</c><01:03:39.119><c> and</c><01:03:39.300><c> sisters,</c><01:03:39.420><c> it's</c><01:03:39.719><c> a</c><01:03:39.820><c> terrible</c><01:03:40.179><c> thing.</c>

01:03:41.019 --> 01:03:42.280
It's<01:03:41.579><c> a</c><01:03:41.719><c> shocking</c><01:03:42.019><c> thing.</c>

01:03:42.280 --> 01:03:45.019
Oh,<01:03:42.980><c> but</c><01:03:43.300><c> we</c><01:03:43.519><c> get</c><01:03:43.760><c> around</c><01:03:44.019><c> that</c><01:03:44.579><c> wonderfully.</c>

We<01:03:45.300><c> say,</c>

01:03:46.639 --> 01:03:49.639
if<01:03:47.239><c> you</c><01:03:48.380><c> go</c><01:03:48.559><c> to</c><01:03:48.719><c> everybody</c><01:03:49.039><c> that</c><01:03:49.239><c> asks</c><01:03:49.500><c> you,</c>

01:03:49.960 --> 01:03:51.519
they'll<01:03:50.340><c> just</c><01:03:51.179><c> kill</c><01:03:51.360><c> you.</c>

01:03:51.559 --> 01:03:54.659
You'd<01:03:52.019><c> be</c><01:03:52.360><c> scum</c><01:03:52.679><c> to</c><01:03:52.980><c> the</c><01:03:53.179><c> bone</c><01:03:53.500><c> before</c><01:03:53.820><c> you</c><01:03:53.980><c> knew</c><01:03:54.119><c> where</c><01:03:54.360><c> you</c><01:03:54.539><c> were.</c>

01:03:54.760 --> 01:03:56.159
Well,<01:03:54.900><c> that's</c><01:03:55.079><c> true.</c>

01:03:56.820 --> 01:03:58.760
And<01:03:56.940><c> the</c><01:03:57.039><c> Lord</c><01:03:57.300><c> Jesus</c><01:03:57.739><c> Christ,</c><01:03:58.119><c> brethren</c><01:03:58.360><c> and</c><01:03:58.599><c> sisters,</c>

01:03:58.820 --> 01:04:02.480

01:04:03.159 --> 01:04:05.780
And<01:04:03.440><c> that's</c><01:04:03.699><c> a</c><01:04:03.760><c> very</c><01:04:04.079><c> comfortable</c><01:04:04.539><c> thought.</c>

01:04:17.000 --> 01:04:18.699
Every<01:04:17.420><c> time</c><01:04:17.860><c> it's</c><01:04:18.239><c> rationalized.</c>

01:04:18.940 --> 01:04:21.159
I'll<01:04:19.219><c> guarantee</c><01:04:19.699><c> that</c><01:04:20.139><c> even</c><01:04:20.380><c> after</c><01:04:20.579><c> this</c><01:04:20.940><c> class,</c>

01:04:21.239 --> 01:04:22.940

somebody<01:04:23.360><c> will</c><01:04:23.719><c> rationalize</c><01:04:24.340><c> it.</c>

01:04:25.219 --> 01:04:27.019
They'll<01:04:25.480><c> say,</c><01:04:25.780><c> oh,</c><01:04:26.000><c> but</c><01:04:26.119><c> you</c><01:04:26.179><c> couldn't</c><01:04:26.420><c> give</c><01:04:26.579><c> to</c><01:04:26.780><c> everybody</c>

01:04:27.019 --> 01:04:28.280

01:04:30.539 --> 01:04:31.820
They<01:04:30.639><c> don't</c><01:04:30.780><c> know</c><01:04:30.820><c> what</c><01:04:30.980><c> to</c><01:04:31.079><c> do</c><01:04:31.139><c> with</c><01:04:31.280><c> their</c><01:04:31.460><c> own</c><01:04:31.599><c> money.</c>

01:04:31.860 --> 01:04:33.599
They're<01:04:32.159><c> flinging</c><01:04:32.300><c> around</c><01:04:32.500><c> like</c><01:04:32.659><c> a</c><01:04:32.840><c> man</c><01:04:32.960><c> with</c><01:04:33.159><c> no</c><01:04:33.380><c> arms.</c>

01:04:43.579 --> 01:04:48.679
True<01:04:43.840><c> it</c><01:04:44.019><c> is</c><01:04:44.820><c> that</c><01:04:45.519><c> we</c><01:04:45.639><c> must</c><01:04:45.920><c> not</c><01:04:46.420><c> be</c><01:04:46.760><c> indiscriminate</c><01:04:47.760><c> in</c><01:04:48.159><c> that</c><01:04:48.380><c> matter.</c>
