He's<00:20:45.579><c> keeping</c><00:20:45.880><c> score.</c><00:20:46.859><c> Just</c><00:20:47.220><c> what</c><00:20:47.500><c> Jesus</c><00:20:47.960><c> said</c><00:20:48.380><c> people</c><00:20:48.720><c> will</c><00:20:48.960><c> do.</c>

00:20:50.319 --> 00:20:51.859
But<00:20:50.339><c> Jesus</c><00:20:50.880><c> says,</c><00:20:51.119><c> I'll</c><00:20:51.240><c> tell</c><00:20:51.299><c> you</c><00:20:51.339><c> what</c><00:20:51.539><c> you</c><00:20:51.720><c> do.</c>

00:20:51.859 --> 00:20:56.440
When<00:20:52.019><c> you</c><00:20:52.599><c> give</c><00:20:52.859><c> a</c><00:20:53.079><c> feast,</c><00:20:53.460><c> invite</c><00:20:53.759><c> the</c><00:20:54.039><c> poor,</c><00:20:55.240><c> the</c><00:20:55.480><c> maimed,</c>

00:20:56.579 --> 00:20:57.960
the<00:20:56.839><c> lame,</c><00:20:57.359><c> the</c><00:20:57.619><c> blind.</c>

00:20:58.099 --> 00:21:01.920
You<00:20:58.279><c> will</c><00:20:58.440><c> be</c><00:20:58.680><c> blessed,</c><00:20:59.880><c> because</c><00:21:00.039><c> they</c><00:21:00.240><c> cannot</c><00:21:00.579><c> repay</c><00:21:00.960><c> you.</c>

00:21:02.099 --> 00:21:05.079
You<00:21:02.319><c> shall</c><00:21:02.500><c> be</c><00:21:02.839><c> repaid</c><00:21:03.119><c> at</c><00:21:03.319><c> the</c><00:21:03.500><c> resurrection</c><00:21:03.920><c> of</c><00:21:04.119><c> the</c><00:21:04.259><c> just.</c>

00:21:05.319 --> 00:21:09.960
So<00:21:05.539><c> it's</c><00:21:05.740><c> really</c><00:21:06.140><c> God's</c><00:21:06.700><c> business</c><00:21:07.339><c> who</c><00:21:07.819><c> you</c><00:21:08.119><c> invite</c><00:21:08.539><c> to</c><00:21:08.839><c> your</c><00:21:09.039><c> home.</c>

00:21:10.359 --> 00:21:14.640
And<00:21:10.619><c> Gaius</c><00:21:10.859><c> is</c><00:21:11.079><c> being</c><00:21:11.339><c> commended</c><00:21:12.000><c> because</c><00:21:12.640><c> he</c><00:21:12.960><c> was</c><00:21:13.480><c> hospitable.</c>

00:21:15.299 --> 00:21:17.400
Beloved,<00:21:15.759><c> you</c><00:21:15.799><c> do</c><00:21:16.039><c> faithfully</c><00:21:16.400><c> whatever</c><00:21:16.640><c> you</c><00:21:16.920><c> do</c><00:21:17.019><c> for</c><00:21:17.180><c> the</c>

00:21:17.400 --> 00:21:18.940
brethren<00:21:17.579><c> and</c><00:21:17.759><c> for</c><00:21:17.960><c> strangers.</c>

00:21:19.980 --> 00:21:26.119
So<00:21:20.420><c> let's</c><00:21:20.859><c> be</c><00:21:21.140><c> sure</c><00:21:21.319><c> that</c><00:21:21.839><c> we</c><00:21:22.619><c> open</c><00:21:22.900><c> our</c><00:21:23.200><c> homes</c><00:21:23.759><c> and</c><00:21:24.559><c> our</c><00:21:24.819><c> cars.</c>

00:21:26.619 --> 00:21:28.259
Give<00:21:26.759><c> someone</c><00:21:26.940><c> a</c><00:21:27.240><c> ride.</c>

00:21:28.539 --> 00:21:31.640
Find<00:21:28.660><c> out</c><00:21:28.819><c> who,</c><00:21:29.140><c> we</c><00:21:29.480><c> have</c><00:21:29.640><c> a</c><00:21:29.740><c> lot</c><00:21:29.839><c> of</c><00:21:30.019><c> older</c><00:21:30.140><c> people</c><00:21:30.420><c> in</c><00:21:30.559><c> our</c><00:21:30.779><c> meeting.</c>

00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:35.000
And<00:21:32.319><c> we</c><00:21:33.019><c> sometimes</c><00:21:33.400><c> even</c><00:21:34.000><c> say,</c><00:21:34.160><c> oh,</c><00:21:34.279><c> they</c><00:21:34.440><c> have</c><00:21:34.660><c> cars.</c>

00:21:35.119 --> 00:21:36.619
Sometimes<00:21:35.319><c> they</c><00:21:35.460><c> don't</c><00:21:35.619><c> feel</c><00:21:35.779><c> up</c><00:21:35.940><c> to</c><00:21:36.160><c> driving.</c>

00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:38.039
And<00:21:37.160><c> some</c><00:21:37.240><c> of</c><00:21:37.359><c> them</c><00:21:37.359><c> don't</c><00:21:37.559><c> have</c><00:21:37.779><c> cars.</c>

00:21:38.119 --> 00:21:40.640
And<00:21:38.240><c> those</c><00:21:38.380><c> you</c><00:21:38.619><c> really</c><00:21:38.920><c> do</c><00:21:39.099><c> have</c><00:21:39.259><c> to</c><00:21:39.380><c> make</c><00:21:39.519><c> sure</c><00:21:39.680><c> you</c><00:21:39.859><c> take.</c>

00:21:41.319 --> 00:21:45.799
Now<00:21:41.539><c> John</c><00:21:41.759><c> tells</c><00:21:42.079><c> his</c><00:21:42.279><c> sister</c><00:21:43.079><c> in</c><00:21:43.680><c> John</c><00:21:44.000><c> 2</c><00:21:44.660><c> who</c><00:21:45.140><c> not</c><00:21:45.339><c> to</c><00:21:45.579><c> invite</c>

00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:46.579
to<00:21:45.980><c> her</c><00:21:46.180><c> home.</c>

00:21:46.579 --> 00:21:49.299
And<00:21:47.039><c> I</c><00:21:47.099><c> think</c><00:21:47.319><c> that</c><00:21:47.539><c> this</c><00:21:47.700><c> deserves</c><00:21:48.140><c> some</c><00:21:48.460><c> of</c><00:21:48.640><c> our</c><00:21:48.779><c> attention,</c>

00:21:49.619 --> 00:21:53.680
because<00:21:49.779><c> I</c><00:21:49.920><c> think</c><00:21:50.079><c> this</c><00:21:50.440><c> verse</c><00:21:50.700><c> is</c><00:21:51.480><c> so</c><00:21:51.799><c> often</c><00:21:52.180><c> misused</c><00:21:52.859><c> and</c><00:21:53.039><c> misquoted.</c>

00:21:53.960 --> 00:21:57.480
Let's<00:21:54.059><c> try</c><00:21:54.279><c> to</c><00:21:54.460><c> understand</c><00:21:54.920><c> exactly</c><00:21:55.539><c> what</c><00:21:55.839><c> John</c><00:21:56.119><c> was</c><00:21:56.460><c> saying.</c>

00:21:58.700 --> 00:22:00.160
Second<00:21:58.819><c> John,</c><00:21:59.200><c> verse</c><00:21:59.380><c> 10.</c>

00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:03.299
If<00:22:00.279><c> anyone</c><00:22:00.680><c> comes</c><00:22:01.019><c> to</c><00:22:01.160><c> you</c><00:22:01.259><c> and</c><00:22:01.339><c> does</c><00:22:01.559><c> not</c><00:22:01.779><c> bring</c><00:22:01.960><c> this</c><00:22:02.240><c> doctrine,</c>

00:22:03.339 --> 00:22:06.200
do<00:22:03.420><c> not</c><00:22:03.599><c> receive</c><00:22:03.980><c> him</c><00:22:04.200><c> into</c><00:22:04.400><c> your</c><00:22:04.579><c> house,</c><00:22:04.900><c> nor</c><00:22:05.019><c> greet</c><00:22:05.259><c> him.</c>

00:22:06.700 --> 00:22:11.059
Now,<00:22:08.160><c> you</c><00:22:08.240><c> would</c><00:22:08.420><c> almost</c><00:22:08.779><c> think</c><00:22:08.940><c> that</c><00:22:09.380><c> Dioptephas</c><00:22:10.180><c> had</c><00:22:10.740><c> read</c>

00:22:11.059 --> 00:22:13.940
John's<00:22:11.859><c> second</c><00:22:12.079><c> letter</c><00:22:12.420><c> to</c><00:22:13.039><c> this</c><00:22:13.480><c> sister,</c>

00:22:13.940 --> 00:22:18.339
and<00:22:14.440><c> he</c><00:22:14.559><c> was</c><00:22:14.799><c> misapplying</c><00:22:15.720><c> what</c><00:22:16.420><c> John</c><00:22:16.799><c> wrote</c><00:22:17.119><c> to</c><00:22:17.299><c> her.</c>

00:22:18.819 --> 00:22:20.799
Well,<00:22:18.940><c> we</c><00:22:19.000><c> know</c><00:22:19.099><c> that's</c><00:22:19.279><c> not</c><00:22:19.500><c> true,</c><00:22:19.819><c> because</c><00:22:20.039><c> Dioptephas</c><00:22:20.579><c> did</c>

00:22:20.799 --> 00:22:22.180
not<00:22:21.000><c> like</c><00:22:21.240><c> John.</c>

00:22:22.420 --> 00:22:25.000
He<00:22:22.599><c> wouldn't</c><00:22:22.839><c> listen</c><00:22:23.059><c> to</c><00:22:23.200><c> any</c><00:22:23.720><c> of</c><00:22:23.880><c> John's</c><00:22:24.299><c> advice,</c>

00:22:25.339 --> 00:22:29.220
and<00:22:25.539><c> he</c><00:22:25.640><c> probably</c><00:22:26.140><c> certainly</c><00:22:26.359><c> didn't</c><00:22:26.599><c> read</c><00:22:26.900><c> this</c><00:22:27.259><c> second</c><00:22:27.579><c> epistle.</c>

00:22:29.940 --> 00:22:33.660
Besides<00:22:30.319><c> that,</c><00:22:30.599><c> it</c><00:22:30.660><c> appears</c><00:22:30.920><c> that</c><00:22:31.160><c> John</c><00:22:31.640><c> sent</c><00:22:32.240><c> a</c><00:22:32.400><c> letter</c><00:22:32.660><c> to</c><00:22:32.940><c> Dioptephas,</c>

Unfortunately,<00:23:16.019><c> there</c><00:23:16.099><c> are</c><00:23:16.440><c> Dioptephas</c><00:23:17.059><c> in</c><00:23:17.519><c> the</c><00:23:17.819><c> brotherhood.</c>

00:23:19.960 --> 00:23:22.259
This<00:23:20.160><c> was</c><00:23:20.359><c> a</c><00:23:20.539><c> prominent</c><00:23:20.759><c> brother,</c><00:23:21.259><c> he</c><00:23:21.380><c> was.</c>

00:23:22.920 --> 00:23:25.299
We<00:23:23.140><c> might</c><00:23:23.259><c> have</c><00:23:23.680><c> probably</c><00:23:24.180><c> given</c><00:23:24.480><c> him</c><00:23:24.700><c> the</c><00:23:24.900><c> title</c><00:23:25.079><c> of</c>

00:23:31.900 --> 00:23:33.359
He<00:23:32.220><c> liked</c><00:23:32.500><c> being</c><00:23:32.799><c> the</c><00:23:33.019><c> boss.</c>

00:23:33.359 --> 00:23:36.980
Now,<00:23:33.980><c> he</c><00:23:34.099><c> might</c><00:23:34.319><c> have</c><00:23:34.480><c> been</c><00:23:34.940><c> absolutely</c><00:23:35.720><c> sound</c><00:23:36.180><c> doctrinally,</c>

because<00:23:37.339><c> John</c><00:23:37.740><c> does</c><00:23:38.119><c> not</c><00:23:38.380><c> condemn</c><00:23:38.680><c> him</c><00:23:38.900><c> for</c><00:23:39.119><c> any</c><00:23:39.319><c> wrong</c><00:23:39.599><c> beliefs.</c>

00:23:41.420 --> 00:23:43.259
He<00:23:41.559><c> perhaps</c><00:23:41.880><c> was</c><00:23:42.079><c> a</c><00:23:42.160><c> very</c><00:23:42.480><c> good</c><00:23:42.740><c> speaker.</c>

He's<00:23:55.980><c> a</c><00:23:56.119><c> leader.</c>

00:23:56.940 --> 00:23:58.539
He<00:23:57.140><c> seems</c><00:23:57.299><c> like</c><00:23:57.559><c> he</c><00:23:57.799><c> intimidates</c><00:23:58.279><c> others.</c>

00:23:58.740 --> 00:24:01.680
There<00:23:58.819><c> are</c><00:23:59.140><c> strong</c><00:23:59.799><c> brothers</c><00:24:00.140><c> that</c><00:24:00.599><c> intimidate</c><00:24:01.160><c> others,</c>

00:24:15.119 --> 00:24:18.180
We're<00:24:15.299><c> just</c><00:24:15.460><c> simply</c><00:24:15.859><c> members</c><00:24:16.700><c> of</c><00:24:17.359><c> it.</c>

Therefore,<00:24:25.400><c> if</c><00:24:25.579><c> I</c><00:24:25.779><c> come</c><00:24:26.039><c> to</c><00:24:26.160><c> his</c><00:24:26.380><c> John,</c>

So<00:25:56.579><c> he's</c><00:25:57.019><c> talking</c><00:25:57.279><c> to</c><00:25:57.539><c> us</c><00:25:57.940><c> who</c><00:25:58.400><c> love</c><00:25:58.700><c> the</c><00:25:58.960><c> Lord,</c>

00:25:59.359 --> 00:26:02.180
who<00:25:59.480><c> are</c><00:25:59.680><c> doing</c><00:25:59.880><c> our</c><00:26:00.059><c> Bible</c><00:26:00.380><c> readings,</c><00:26:01.039><c> who</c><00:26:01.220><c> tremble</c><00:26:01.519><c> at</c><00:26:01.619><c> the</c><00:26:01.839><c> Lord.</c>

00:26:02.559 --> 00:26:04.960
Hear<00:26:03.079><c> the</c><00:26:03.380><c> word</c><00:26:03.539><c> of</c><00:26:03.660><c> the</c><00:26:03.819><c> Lord,</c><00:26:04.079><c> ye</c><00:26:04.180><c> that</c><00:26:04.279><c> tremble</c><00:26:04.519><c> at</c><00:26:04.579><c> his</c><00:26:04.700><c> word.</c>

00:26:05.259 --> 00:26:07.640
Oh,<00:26:05.740><c> you</c><00:26:05.900><c> had</c><00:26:06.319><c> brethren</c><00:26:06.880><c> that</c><00:26:07.220><c> hated</c><00:26:07.400><c> you.</c>

00:26:07.660 --> 00:26:09.460
That's<00:26:08.140><c> Deutrophes.</c>

00:26:10.019 --> 00:26:10.819
And<00:26:10.359><c> what</c><00:26:10.500><c> did</c><00:26:10.660><c> they</c><00:26:10.740><c> do?</c>

00:26:10.960 --> 00:26:14.799
Oh,<00:26:11.220><c> they</c><00:26:11.519><c> cast</c><00:26:11.980><c> you</c><00:26:12.339><c> out</c><00:26:12.859><c> for</c><00:26:13.220><c> my</c><00:26:13.559><c> namesake.</c>

00:26:15.160 --> 00:26:16.920
Deutrophes<00:26:15.680><c> did</c><00:26:15.900><c> that.</c>

00:26:17.259 --> 00:26:19.519
He<00:26:17.720><c> kicked</c><00:26:17.980><c> them</c><00:26:18.140><c> out</c><00:26:18.279><c> of</c><00:26:18.420><c> the</c><00:26:18.599><c> Ecclesia,</c>

00:26:20.380 --> 00:26:23.140
and<00:26:20.900><c> he</c><00:26:21.099><c> did</c><00:26:21.259><c> it</c><00:26:21.420><c> in</c><00:26:21.619><c> the</c><00:26:21.799><c> name</c><00:26:22.259><c> of</c><00:26:22.539><c> the</c><00:26:22.700><c> Lord.</c>

00:26:23.140 --> 00:26:25.640
That's<00:26:24.319><c> what</c><00:26:24.460><c> Isaiah</c><00:26:24.779><c> says.</c>

00:26:26.180 --> 00:26:28.380
While<00:26:26.420><c> you're</c><00:26:26.819><c> kicking</c><00:26:26.980><c> them</c><00:26:27.160><c> out</c><00:26:27.299><c> of</c><00:26:27.400><c> the</c><00:26:27.539><c> meeting,</c><00:26:27.900><c> you</c><00:26:28.039><c> say,</c>

00:26:28.779 --> 00:26:34.019
let<00:26:28.940><c> the</c><00:26:29.220><c> Lord</c><00:26:29.640><c> be</c><00:26:30.079><c> glorified,</c><00:26:31.259><c> good</c><00:26:31.579><c> riddance,</c>

00:26:38.359 --> 00:26:43.460
Oh,<00:26:38.940><c> how</c><00:26:39.119><c> we</c><00:26:39.579><c> can</c><00:26:40.980><c> deceive</c><00:26:41.759><c> ourselves.</c>

00:26:44.759 --> 00:26:47.039
But<00:26:44.859><c> the</c><00:26:44.940><c> rest</c><00:26:45.140><c> of</c><00:26:45.319><c> the</c><00:26:45.440><c> verse</c><00:26:45.640><c> says,</c>

00:26:47.700 --> 00:26:53.460
He<00:26:48.299><c> shall</c><00:26:48.539><c> appear</c><00:26:49.119><c> to</c><00:26:49.519><c> your</c><00:26:49.779><c> joy,</c><00:26:51.779><c> and</c><00:26:51.819><c> they</c><00:26:51.960><c> shall</c><00:26:52.140><c> be</c><00:26:52.380><c> ashamed.</c>

00:26:54.279 --> 00:26:58.819
And<00:26:54.380><c> in</c><00:26:55.140><c> the</c><00:26:55.279><c> previous</c><00:26:55.559><c> day's</c><00:26:56.039><c> reading</c><00:26:56.220><c> we</c><00:26:56.420><c> read</c><00:26:56.619><c> in</c><00:26:56.819><c> Isaiah</c><00:26:57.099><c> 65,</c>

00:26:59.460 --> 00:27:01.180
Stand<00:26:59.740><c> by</c><00:27:00.619><c> thyself.</c>

00:27:01.200 --> 00:27:03.440
Come<00:27:01.579><c> not</c><00:27:01.900><c> near</c><00:27:02.200><c> me.</c>

00:27:03.880 --> 00:27:05.339
Deutrophes<00:27:04.480><c> all</c><00:27:04.740><c> over</c><00:27:04.940><c> again.</c>

00:27:05.619 --> 00:27:06.960
Don't<00:27:05.900><c> you</c><00:27:06.059><c> come</c><00:27:06.240><c> near</c><00:27:06.440><c> me,</c><00:27:06.740><c> John.</c>

00:27:06.980 --> 00:27:09.160
I'm<00:27:07.339><c> holier</c><00:27:07.680><c> than</c><00:27:07.839><c> you</c><00:27:08.200><c> are.</c>

00:27:10.799 --> 00:27:15.599
That's<00:27:11.099><c> what</c><00:27:11.920><c> the</c><00:27:12.359><c> person</c><00:27:12.660><c> said</c><00:27:12.900><c> in</c><00:27:13.119><c> Isaiah</c><00:27:13.440><c> 65</c><00:27:14.220><c> and</c><00:27:14.480><c> 5.</c>

00:27:15.599 --> 00:27:20.019
And<00:27:16.599><c> God</c><00:27:16.859><c> says,</c><00:27:17.519><c> these</c><00:27:17.539><c> are</c><00:27:17.859><c> smoke</c><00:27:18.420><c> in</c><00:27:18.660><c> my</c><00:27:18.900><c> nose,</c>

00:27:20.200 --> 00:27:22.539
a<00:27:20.299><c> fire</c><00:27:20.539><c> that</c><00:27:20.839><c> burneth</c><00:27:21.140><c> all</c><00:27:21.380><c> the</c><00:27:21.599><c> day.</c>

00:27:23.539 --> 00:27:25.819
Now,<00:27:23.759><c> I</c><00:27:23.859><c> think</c><00:27:24.119><c> a</c><00:27:24.240><c> lot</c><00:27:24.480><c> of</c><00:27:24.680><c> brethren</c><00:27:24.880><c> and</c><00:27:25.140><c> sisters</c><00:27:25.359><c> have</c><00:27:25.599><c> read</c>

00:27:25.819 --> 00:27:26.339
the<00:27:26.039><c> advice</c>

00:27:26.339 --> 00:27:29.059
that<00:27:26.559><c> John</c><00:27:26.819><c> gave</c><00:27:27.059><c> to</c><00:27:27.240><c> the</c><00:27:27.420><c> sister</c><00:27:27.700><c> in</c><00:27:27.900><c> 2</c><00:27:28.180><c> John,</c>

00:27:29.099 --> 00:27:33.119
and<00:27:29.200><c> they</c><00:27:29.319><c> have</c><00:27:29.579><c> reacted</c><00:27:30.220><c> to</c><00:27:30.660><c> it</c><00:27:31.240><c> by</c><00:27:31.660><c> overreacting</c><00:27:32.339><c> to</c><00:27:32.619><c> it,</c>

00:27:33.160 --> 00:27:35.559
something<00:27:33.420><c> like</c><00:27:33.660><c> the</c><00:27:33.799><c> way</c><00:27:33.940><c> Deutrophes</c><00:27:34.539><c> did.</c>

00:27:36.400 --> 00:27:39.039
And<00:27:36.559><c> so</c><00:27:36.680><c> we're</c><00:27:36.859><c> back</c><00:27:37.039><c> in</c><00:27:37.420><c> 2</c><00:27:37.660><c> John,</c><00:27:38.319><c> verse</c><00:27:38.599><c> 10,</c>

00:27:39.200 --> 00:27:42.859
If<00:27:39.500><c> there</c><00:27:39.700><c> come</c><00:27:40.000><c> any</c><00:27:40.480><c> unto</c><00:27:41.000><c> you,</c><00:27:41.380><c> and</c><00:27:41.559><c> bring</c><00:27:41.859><c> not</c><00:27:42.079><c> this</c><00:27:42.400><c> doctrine,</c>

00:27:43.319 --> 00:27:44.880
receive<00:27:43.619><c> him</c><00:27:43.859><c> not</c><00:27:44.059><c> into</c><00:27:44.240><c> your</c><00:27:44.400><c> house.</c>

00:27:44.880 --> 00:27:48.440
Neither<00:27:45.619><c> bid</c><00:27:45.859><c> him</c><00:27:46.119><c> Godspeed,</c><00:27:47.200><c> for</c><00:27:47.200><c> he</c><00:27:47.339><c> that</c><00:27:47.519><c> bideth</c><00:27:47.779><c> him</c><00:27:47.960><c> Godspeed</c>

00:27:48.440 --> 00:27:50.900
is<00:27:48.680><c> partaker</c><00:27:49.059><c> of</c><00:27:49.240><c> his</c><00:27:49.440><c> evil</c><00:27:49.759><c> deeds.</c>

00:27:51.960 --> 00:27:54.039
Now,<00:27:52.400><c> we</c><00:27:52.500><c> need</c><00:27:52.700><c> a</c><00:27:53.000><c> balance.</c>

00:27:54.460 --> 00:27:58.000
We<00:27:54.740><c> have</c><00:27:54.920><c> to</c><00:27:55.000><c> be</c><00:27:55.279><c> careful</c><00:27:55.539><c> that</c><00:27:55.740><c> we</c><00:27:55.960><c> don't</c><00:27:56.220><c> become</c><00:27:56.599><c> ideographies</c>

00:27:58.000 --> 00:28:00.380
and<00:27:58.359><c> begin</c><00:27:58.519><c> to</c><00:27:58.740><c> kick</c><00:27:58.880><c> out</c><00:27:59.140><c> people</c>

00:28:00.779 --> 00:28:04.180
because<00:28:01.380><c> we</c><00:28:01.859><c> think</c><00:28:02.200><c> that</c><00:28:02.440><c> we</c><00:28:02.759><c> are</c><00:28:03.079><c> holier</c><00:28:03.380><c> than</c><00:28:03.519><c> they</c><00:28:03.819><c> are.</c>

00:28:04.660 --> 00:28:08.519
It's<00:28:05.259><c> possible</c><00:28:05.859><c> to</c><00:28:06.240><c> be</c><00:28:06.440><c> completely</c><00:28:07.059><c> well</c><00:28:07.420><c>-meaning</c>

00:28:08.519 --> 00:28:10.940
and<00:28:09.180><c> to</c><00:28:09.299><c> be</c><00:28:09.440><c> completely</c><00:28:09.900><c> wrong.</c>

00:28:11.220 --> 00:28:14.559
If<00:28:11.559><c> you</c><00:28:11.720><c> don't</c><00:28:11.920><c> believe</c><00:28:12.119><c> that,</c><00:28:12.440><c> look</c><00:28:12.640><c> at</c><00:28:12.960><c> Saul</c><00:28:13.279><c> of</c><00:28:13.599><c> Tarsus</c>

00:28:14.559 --> 00:28:17.940
before<00:28:15.480><c> he</c><00:28:15.660><c> was</c><00:28:16.000><c> converted</c><00:28:16.539><c> on</c><00:28:17.039><c> the</c><00:28:17.119><c> way</c><00:28:17.259><c> to</c><00:28:17.440><c> Damascus.</c>

00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:23.539
I<00:28:18.480><c> don't</c><00:28:18.680><c> think</c><00:28:18.759><c> there</c><00:28:18.839><c> was</c><00:28:19.079><c> anyone</c><00:28:19.420><c> more</c><00:28:19.980><c> sincere</c><00:28:20.900><c> than</c><00:28:22.339><c> Saul.</c>

00:28:23.920 --> 00:28:27.259
Certainly<00:28:24.240><c> no</c><00:28:24.559><c> one</c><00:28:24.799><c> more</c><00:28:25.299><c> wrong</c><00:28:26.019><c> than</c><00:28:26.960><c> Saul.</c>

00:28:27.319 --> 00:28:29.319
So<00:28:27.500><c> we</c><00:28:27.720><c> need</c><00:28:27.940><c> to</c><00:28:28.180><c> examine</c><00:28:28.440><c> ourselves.</c>

00:28:29.640 --> 00:28:37.440
If<00:28:30.220><c> this</c><00:28:30.640><c> fits</c><00:28:31.019><c> us,</c><00:28:32.779><c> then</c><00:28:34.000><c> listen</c><00:28:34.799><c> and</c><00:28:36.339><c> change.</c>

00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:41.180
Because<00:28:38.359><c> the</c><00:28:38.859><c> justification</c><00:28:39.599><c> of</c><00:28:39.880><c> some</c><00:28:40.240><c> Christadelphians</c>

00:28:41.180 --> 00:28:44.079

If<00:34:53.980><c> you</c><00:34:54.139><c> can</c><00:34:54.300><c> have</c><00:34:54.440><c> an</c><00:34:54.619><c> operation</c><00:34:55.079><c> on</c><00:34:55.280><c> your</c><00:34:55.460><c> knee</c>

00:34:55.579 --> 00:34:57.340
like<00:34:55.780><c> Brother</c><00:34:56.019><c> Clarence</c><00:34:56.340><c> is</c><00:34:56.480><c> going</c><00:34:56.559><c> to</c><00:34:56.659><c> have</c><00:34:56.739><c> on</c><00:34:56.960><c> Monday,</c>

00:34:57.780 --> 00:35:00.000
God<00:34:57.960><c> willing,</c><00:34:58.400><c> you'll</c><00:34:58.480><c> be</c><00:34:59.320><c> out</c><00:34:59.579><c> of</c><00:34:59.760><c> pain</c>

00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:01.219
and<00:35:00.139><c> be</c><00:35:00.280><c> able</c><00:35:00.400><c> to</c><00:35:00.519><c> get</c><00:35:00.639><c> around</c><00:35:00.880><c> better.</c>

00:35:01.219 --> 00:35:03.280
He's<00:35:01.659><c> doing</c><00:35:01.960><c> it.</c>

00:35:03.500 --> 00:35:07.900
But<00:35:03.780><c> sometimes</c><00:35:04.599><c> an</c><00:35:05.059><c> operation</c><00:35:05.460><c> won't</c><00:35:05.760><c> fix</c><00:35:06.059><c> what's</c><00:35:06.360><c> wrong</c><00:35:06.519><c> with</c><00:35:06.840><c> us.</c>

00:35:08.199 --> 00:35:13.420
So<00:35:08.579><c> we</c><00:35:09.039><c> wish</c><00:35:09.280><c> each</c><00:35:09.519><c> other</c><00:35:11.039><c> good</c><00:35:11.860><c> health,</c>

spiritually<00:35:15.539><c> and</c><00:35:16.139><c> physically.</c>

00:35:17.599 --> 00:35:20.880
Now<00:35:17.880><c> we</c><00:35:17.980><c> can</c><00:35:18.219><c> serve</c><00:35:18.420><c> God</c><00:35:18.679><c> in</c><00:35:18.880><c> whatever</c><00:35:19.119><c> condition</c><00:35:19.599><c> we're</c><00:35:19.940><c> in.</c>

00:35:21.239 --> 00:35:25.059
If<00:35:21.400><c> you</c><00:35:21.619><c> have</c><00:35:21.820><c> good</c><00:35:22.119><c> health,</c><00:35:23.000><c> use</c><00:35:23.440><c> it</c><00:35:23.820><c> for</c><00:35:24.039><c> the</c><00:35:24.219><c> Lord.</c>

00:35:25.619 --> 00:35:27.039
If<00:35:26.099><c> you</c><00:35:26.260><c> don't</c><00:35:26.420><c> have</c><00:35:26.559><c> such</c><00:35:26.699><c> good</c><00:35:26.880><c> health,</c>

00:35:29.659 --> 00:35:33.239
We<00:35:30.039><c> have</c><00:35:30.280><c> a</c><00:35:30.400><c> sister</c><00:35:30.659><c> in</c><00:35:30.800><c> our</c><00:35:31.000><c> meeting</c><00:35:31.179><c> that's</c><00:35:31.679><c> totally</c><00:35:32.099><c> deaf,</c>

00:35:33.840 --> 00:35:36.579
and<00:35:33.940><c> we</c><00:35:34.639><c> don't</c><00:35:34.800><c> have</c><00:35:35.019><c> someone</c><00:35:35.280><c> to</c><00:35:35.500><c> sign</c>

00:35:36.679 --> 00:35:40.420
like<00:35:37.059><c> we</c><00:35:37.199><c> had</c><00:35:37.679><c> Denise</c><00:35:38.059><c> to</c><00:35:38.380><c> sign</c><00:35:38.579><c> for</c><00:35:38.860><c> us.</c>

00:35:41.559 --> 00:35:44.719
But<00:35:41.559><c> she</c><00:35:43.059><c> writes</c><00:35:43.639><c> letters.</c>

00:35:45.079 --> 00:35:49.039
She<00:35:45.179><c> has</c><00:35:46.699><c> correspondence</c><00:35:47.360><c> students</c><00:35:48.619><c> everywhere.</c>

00:35:49.079 --> 00:35:51.960
She<00:35:49.300><c> writes</c><00:35:49.639><c> to</c><00:35:50.440><c> people</c><00:35:50.719><c> in</c><00:35:51.000><c> prison.</c>

00:35:52.719 --> 00:35:55.420
She's<00:35:53.480><c> old.</c><00:35:54.199><c> She's</c><00:35:54.539><c> 80.</c>

00:35:55.480 --> 00:35:57.699
She's<00:35:55.880><c> in</c><00:35:55.980><c> poor</c><00:35:56.239><c> health,</c><00:35:56.739><c> and</c><00:35:56.920><c> she's</c><00:35:57.300><c> deaf.</c>

00:35:57.699 --> 00:36:01.360
And<00:35:58.320><c> she</c><00:35:58.599><c> works</c><00:35:58.940><c> as</c><00:35:59.280><c> hard</c><00:35:59.460><c> as</c><00:35:59.619><c> she</c><00:35:59.840><c> can</c><00:36:00.039><c> for</c><00:36:00.239><c> the</c><00:36:00.460><c> truth.</c>

00:36:01.599 --> 00:36:03.420
So<00:36:01.820><c> do</c><00:36:02.000><c> what</c><00:36:02.179><c> you</c><00:36:02.340><c> can</c><00:36:02.400><c> with</c><00:36:02.539><c> what</c><00:36:02.699><c> you</c><00:36:02.920><c> have</c>

00:36:03.420 --> 00:36:05.320
right<00:36:03.760><c> where</c><00:36:03.960><c> you</c><00:36:04.199><c> are.</c>

00:36:05.760 --> 00:36:07.059
And<00:36:05.760><c> you</c><00:36:05.960><c> use</c><00:36:06.179><c> whatever</c><00:36:06.619><c> you</c><00:36:06.880><c> have.</c>

00:36:07.099 --> 00:36:10.139
If<00:36:07.219><c> you</c><00:36:07.320><c> have</c><00:36:07.500><c> prosperity,</c><00:36:08.159><c> you</c><00:36:08.320><c> use</c><00:36:08.619><c> your</c><00:36:09.059><c> prosperity</c><00:36:09.539><c> to</c>

00:36:10.139 --> 00:36:10.880
help<00:36:10.360><c> others.</c>

00:36:11.360 --> 00:36:14.460
If<00:36:11.460><c> you</c><00:36:11.639><c> don't</c><00:36:11.880><c> have</c><00:36:12.059><c> it,</c><00:36:12.579><c> then</c><00:36:12.860><c> you</c><00:36:13.039><c> do</c><00:36:13.199><c> what</c><00:36:13.380><c> you</c><00:36:13.659><c> can.</c>

00:36:14.900 --> 00:36:15.860
The<00:36:15.340><c> widow's</c><00:36:15.780><c> might.</c>

00:36:15.940 --> 00:36:17.380
You<00:36:16.059><c> ever</c><00:36:16.219><c> hear</c><00:36:16.380><c> about</c><00:36:16.599><c> the</c><00:36:16.800><c> widow's</c><00:36:17.139><c> might?</c>

00:36:17.679 --> 00:36:18.980
Not<00:36:17.860><c> in</c><00:36:18.019><c> the</c><00:36:18.139><c> Bible.</c>

00:36:20.619 --> 00:36:22.119
Totally<00:36:21.059><c> in</c><00:36:21.280><c> Scripture.</c>

00:36:22.579 --> 00:36:23.800
People<00:36:22.820><c> talk</c><00:36:23.039><c> about</c><00:36:23.239><c> the</c><00:36:23.400><c> widow's</c><00:36:23.699><c> might.</c>

00:36:23.880 --> 00:36:25.940
You<00:36:23.980><c> won't</c><00:36:24.159><c> find</c><00:36:24.320><c> it</c><00:36:24.460><c> in</c><00:36:24.460><c> the</c><00:36:24.519><c> Bible</c><00:36:24.719><c> at</c><00:36:24.920><c> all.</c>

00:36:26.280 --> 00:36:28.320
She<00:36:26.800><c> had</c><00:36:26.940><c> two.</c>

00:36:30.980 --> 00:36:32.659
She<00:36:31.360><c> gave</c><00:36:31.539><c> them</c><00:36:31.659><c> both.</c>

00:36:33.539 --> 00:36:35.360
Do<00:36:33.639><c> you</c><00:36:33.659><c> ever</c><00:36:33.840><c> think</c><00:36:33.960><c> she</c><00:36:34.099><c> couldn't</c><00:36:34.380><c> hide?</c>

00:36:36.380 --> 00:36:37.940
If<00:36:36.519><c> you've</c><00:36:36.679><c> got</c><00:36:36.840><c> two</c><00:36:37.099><c> mights,</c>

00:36:38.239 --> 00:36:43.059
you<00:36:38.360><c> can</c><00:36:38.500><c> either</c><00:36:38.760><c> give</c><00:36:39.059><c> two</c><00:36:40.360><c> or</c><00:36:41.480><c> half</c><00:36:42.179><c> or</c><00:36:42.840><c> nothing,</c>

00:36:43.079 --> 00:36:45.360
but<00:36:43.219><c> you</c><00:36:43.340><c> can't</c><00:36:43.579><c> give</c><00:36:43.699><c> 10%.</c>

00:36:45.460 --> 00:36:48.780
She<00:36:45.980><c> went</c><00:36:46.219><c> all</c><00:36:46.739><c> out</c><00:36:46.920><c> with</c><00:36:47.079><c> what</c><00:36:47.340><c> little</c><00:36:47.539><c> she</c><00:36:47.820><c> had,</c>

00:36:49.000 --> 00:36:51.639
and<00:36:49.300><c> we</c><00:36:49.500><c> should</c><00:36:49.639><c> be</c><00:36:49.820><c> doing</c><00:36:50.000><c> that</c><00:36:50.300><c> with</c><00:36:50.539><c> whatever</c><00:36:50.820><c> it</c><00:36:51.079><c> is</c><00:36:51.260><c> that</c>

00:36:51.639 --> 00:36:52.880
we<00:36:51.880><c> have.</c>

00:36:54.000 --> 00:36:57.440
And<00:36:54.519><c> so</c><00:36:54.719><c> now</c><00:36:55.460><c> John</c><00:36:55.920><c> is</c><00:36:56.119><c> going</c><00:36:56.219><c> to</c><00:36:56.340><c> give</c><00:36:56.420><c> us</c><00:36:56.639><c> a</c><00:36:56.800><c> good</c><00:36:56.960><c> report</c>

00:37:01.340 --> 00:37:03.880
Demetrius<00:37:01.619><c> is</c><00:37:01.820><c> well</c><00:37:02.059><c> spoken</c><00:37:02.440><c> of</c><00:37:02.639><c> by</c><00:37:02.940><c> everyone,</c>

00:37:04.539 --> 00:37:06.440

00:37:06.840 --> 00:37:08.219
We<00:37:07.139><c> also</c><00:37:07.500><c> speak</c><00:37:07.760><c> well</c><00:37:07.980><c> of</c><00:37:08.059><c> him,</c>

00:37:08.219 --> 00:37:10.559
and<00:37:08.400><c> we</c><00:37:08.519><c> know</c><00:37:08.699><c> that</c><00:37:08.880><c> our</c><00:37:09.079><c> testimony</c><00:37:09.420><c> is</c><00:37:09.699><c> true.</c>

00:37:11.960 --> 00:37:13.340
Now,<00:37:12.119><c> isn't</c><00:37:12.380><c> that</c><00:37:12.659><c> a</c><00:37:12.820><c> lovely</c><00:37:13.059><c> thing?</c>

00:37:13.539 --> 00:37:18.440
Wouldn't<00:37:13.679><c> it</c><00:37:14.360><c> be</c><00:37:14.659><c> wonderful</c><00:37:15.099><c> if</c><00:37:16.739><c> Apostle</c><00:37:17.300><c> John</c><00:37:17.519><c> would</c><00:37:17.780><c> say</c><00:37:17.980><c> that</c>

00:37:18.440 --> 00:37:20.179
and<00:37:18.579><c> put</c><00:37:18.739><c> your</c><00:37:18.940><c> name</c><00:37:19.179><c> in</c><00:37:19.360><c> there?</c>

00:37:21.039 --> 00:37:23.800
Your<00:37:21.519><c> name</c><00:37:21.840><c> is</c><00:37:22.199><c> well</c><00:37:22.420><c> spoken</c><00:37:22.739><c> of</c><00:37:22.840><c> by</c><00:37:23.079><c> everyone,</c>

00:37:23.940 --> 00:37:25.119
even<00:37:24.280><c> by</c><00:37:24.460><c> the</c><00:37:24.619><c> truth</c><00:37:24.780><c> itself.</c>

00:37:25.219 --> 00:37:27.300
We<00:37:25.460><c> know</c><00:37:25.679><c> what</c><00:37:25.880><c> they</c><00:37:26.119><c> say</c><00:37:26.280><c> about</c><00:37:26.539><c> you.</c>

00:37:28.099 --> 00:37:29.079

00:40:06.960 --> 00:40:09.179
you<00:40:06.960><c> might</c><00:40:07.219><c> come</c><00:40:07.460><c> in</c><00:40:07.579><c> and</c><00:40:07.619><c> say,</c><00:40:07.800><c> oh,</c><00:40:08.179><c> watch</c><00:40:08.460><c> out</c><00:40:08.639><c> for</c><00:40:08.880><c> her.</c>

00:40:09.679 --> 00:40:10.980
She's<00:40:09.980><c> trouble.</c>

00:40:11.579 --> 00:40:12.599
Oh,<00:40:11.860><c> be</c><00:40:12.039><c> careful</c><00:40:12.340><c> of</c><00:40:12.460><c> him.</c>

00:40:12.860 --> 00:40:14.280
He<00:40:13.119><c> wears</c><00:40:13.280><c> his</c><00:40:13.559><c> feelings</c><00:40:13.719><c> on</c><00:40:13.920><c> his</c><00:40:14.159><c> sleeve.</c>

00:40:14.760 --> 00:40:16.880
Just<00:40:15.159><c> give</c><00:40:15.340><c> him</c><00:40:15.480><c> a</c><00:40:15.679><c> wide</c><00:40:15.900><c> berth.</c>

00:40:16.960 --> 00:40:19.320

00:40:19.699 --> 00:40:22.380
She's<00:40:20.139><c> so</c><00:40:20.619><c> kind</c><00:40:20.880><c> and</c><00:40:21.380><c> thoughtful.</c>

00:40:41.280 --> 00:40:45.900
And<00:40:41.539><c> if</c><00:40:41.820><c> you</c><00:40:42.059><c> don't</c><00:40:42.500><c> like</c><00:40:42.699><c> what</c><00:40:42.960><c> you</c><00:40:43.300><c> think</c><00:40:43.500><c> might</c><00:40:43.699><c> be</c><00:40:43.900><c> by</c><00:40:44.139><c> your</c><00:40:44.400><c> name,</c>

00:40:50.179 --> 00:40:52.940
Now<00:40:50.400><c> let's</c><00:40:50.619><c> just</c><00:40:50.860><c> carry</c><00:40:51.039><c> ourselves</c><00:40:51.559><c> in</c><00:40:51.920><c> thought</c>

00:41:00.099 --> 00:41:03.400
And<00:41:00.260><c> let's</c><00:41:00.440><c> go</c><00:41:00.639><c> out</c><00:41:00.900><c> to</c><00:41:01.079><c> the</c><00:41:01.239><c> cemetery</c><00:41:01.760><c> and</c><00:41:02.099><c> visit</c><00:41:02.599><c> the</c><00:41:02.940><c> cemetery.</c>

00:41:03.639 --> 00:41:07.400
Old<00:41:03.840><c> cemeteries</c><00:41:04.320><c> are</c><00:41:04.519><c> kind</c><00:41:04.719><c> of</c><00:41:04.880><c> interesting</c><00:41:05.239><c> places</c><00:41:05.780><c> to</c><00:41:06.539><c> go.</c>

00:41:07.780 --> 00:41:11.280
And<00:41:08.019><c> Deutrophes</c><00:41:08.679><c> was</c><00:41:09.059><c> quite</c><00:41:09.440><c> a</c><00:41:09.800><c> successful</c><00:41:10.119><c> person</c><00:41:10.480><c> in</c><00:41:10.619><c> my</c><00:41:10.900><c> mind.</c>

00:41:11.659 --> 00:41:14.679
He<00:41:11.860><c> was</c><00:41:12.119><c> kind</c><00:41:12.239><c> of</c><00:41:12.380><c> a</c><00:41:12.619><c> big</c><00:41:12.860><c> shot</c><00:41:13.079><c> in</c><00:41:13.480><c> the</c><00:41:13.639><c> world,</c>

00:41:14.760 --> 00:41:16.880
and<00:41:14.940><c> he</c><00:41:15.260><c> liked</c><00:41:15.440><c> to</c><00:41:15.699><c> have</c><00:41:15.760><c> his</c><00:41:16.059><c> way</c><00:41:16.300><c> in</c><00:41:16.500><c> the</c><00:41:16.659><c> world,</c>

00:41:16.880 --> 00:41:18.239
and<00:41:17.019><c> he</c><00:41:17.059><c> had</c><00:41:17.199><c> his</c><00:41:17.380><c> way</c><00:41:17.539><c> in</c><00:41:17.719><c> the</c><00:41:17.860><c> Ecclesia.</c>

00:41:18.659 --> 00:41:20.039
And<00:41:18.860><c> he</c><00:41:19.000><c> was</c><00:41:19.159><c> full</c><00:41:19.400><c> of</c><00:41:19.639><c> words,</c>

00:41:20.039 --> 00:41:23.159
and<00:41:20.539><c> everybody</c><00:41:21.460><c> pretty</c><00:41:21.780><c> well</c><00:41:22.059><c> calcowed</c><00:41:22.519><c> to</c><00:41:22.679><c> him,</c>

00:41:23.380 --> 00:41:26.199
and<00:41:23.900><c> he</c><00:41:24.519><c> ran</c><00:41:25.039><c> the</c><00:41:25.340><c> Ecclesia.</c>

00:41:27.260 --> 00:41:28.739
And<00:41:27.539><c> he's</c><00:41:27.820><c> died.</c>

00:41:29.679 --> 00:41:32.880
Of<00:41:30.380><c> course,</c><00:41:31.559><c> Demetrius</c><00:41:31.800><c> also</c><00:41:32.280><c> has</c><00:41:32.539><c> died.</c>

00:41:33.300 --> 00:41:35.400
And<00:41:33.460><c> so</c><00:41:33.559><c> we're</c><00:41:33.800><c> out</c><00:41:34.019><c> visiting</c><00:41:34.260><c> the</c><00:41:34.519><c> cemetery</c><00:41:34.940><c> where</c><00:41:35.139><c> they've</c>

00:41:35.400 --> 00:41:36.539
been<00:41:35.579><c> buried.</c>

00:41:37.000 --> 00:41:40.840
And<00:41:37.260><c> it's</c><00:41:37.820><c> not</c><00:41:37.960><c> hard</c><00:41:38.099><c> to</c><00:41:38.300><c> find</c><00:41:38.500><c> Demetrius's,</c><00:41:39.840><c> Deutrophes's</c><00:41:40.619><c> grave,</c>

00:41:40.860 --> 00:41:42.440
because<00:41:41.320><c> he</c><00:41:41.679><c> was</c><00:41:42.000><c> rich.</c>

00:41:42.820 --> 00:41:45.440
There's<00:41:43.059><c> a</c><00:41:43.199><c> great</c><00:41:43.960><c> big</c><00:41:44.380><c> monument</c><00:41:44.880><c> there,</c>

00:41:45.440 --> 00:41:49.519
and<00:41:46.199><c> it</c><00:41:46.559><c> tells</c><00:41:46.960><c> that</c><00:41:47.400><c> he</c><00:41:47.539><c> was</c><00:41:47.800><c> a</c><00:41:47.960><c> Christadelphian</c>

00:41:49.599 --> 00:41:52.219
and<00:41:50.119><c> that</c><00:41:50.280><c> he</c><00:41:50.400><c> was</c><00:41:50.619><c> the</c><00:41:50.840><c> recording</c><00:41:51.139><c> brother.</c>

00:41:52.639 --> 00:41:54.420
Maybe<00:41:52.860><c> he'd</c><00:41:53.579><c> got</c><00:41:53.599><c> such</c><00:41:53.820><c> a</c><00:41:53.960><c> big</c><00:41:54.159><c> stone,</c>

00:41:54.619 --> 00:41:57.219
he'd<00:41:54.940><c> listed</c><00:41:55.079><c> some</c><00:41:55.320><c> of</c><00:41:55.460><c> the</c><00:41:55.460><c> things</c><00:41:55.619><c> he'd</c><00:41:55.880><c> done</c><00:41:56.059><c> on</c><00:41:56.300><c> it</c><00:41:56.940><c> for</c>

00:41:57.219 --> 00:41:58.500
the<00:41:57.420><c> Lord.</c>

00:42:00.079 --> 00:42:03.619
And<00:42:00.219><c> then</c><00:42:00.420><c> we're</c><00:42:00.760><c> trying</c><00:42:00.980><c> to</c><00:42:01.199><c> find</c><00:42:02.579><c> Demetrius's</c><00:42:03.360><c> grave.</c>

00:42:03.800 --> 00:42:06.159
Probably<00:42:04.059><c> it's</c><00:42:04.300><c> over</c><00:42:04.599><c> in</c><00:42:04.739><c> the</c><00:42:04.940><c> corner,</c>

00:42:06.420 --> 00:42:10.079
off<00:42:06.940><c> kind</c><00:42:07.340><c> of</c><00:42:08.219><c> almost</c><00:42:08.539><c> out</c><00:42:08.800><c> of</c><00:42:08.900><c> the</c><00:42:09.059><c> cemetery,</c>

00:42:10.539 --> 00:42:13.760
just<00:42:10.739><c> a</c><00:42:10.900><c> little</c><00:42:11.440><c> bitty</c><00:42:13.099><c> headstone,</c>

00:42:13.760 --> 00:42:15.320
as<00:42:14.059><c> Jesus</c><00:42:14.059><c> says,</c>

00:42:15.840 --> 00:42:18.380
Demetrius,<00:42:16.820><c> asleep</c><00:42:17.139><c> in</c><00:42:17.320><c> the</c><00:42:17.500><c> Lord.</c>

00:42:20.179 --> 00:42:25.820
Now,<00:42:21.719><c> let's</c><00:42:22.039><c> picture</c><00:42:22.420><c> that</c><00:42:22.760><c> same</c><00:42:23.019><c> cemetery</c><00:42:23.619><c> on</c><00:42:24.219><c> resurrection</c><00:42:24.699><c> morning.</c>

00:42:31.119 --> 00:42:33.659
Which<00:42:31.539><c> grave</c><00:42:31.760><c> would</c><00:42:31.920><c> you</c><00:42:32.099><c> rather</c><00:42:32.280><c> come</c><00:42:32.539><c> out</c><00:42:32.760><c> of?</c>

00:42:34.519 --> 00:42:38.179
Not<00:42:34.860><c> too</c><00:42:35.199><c> hard</c><00:42:35.440><c> a</c><00:42:35.739><c> question</c><00:42:36.179><c> to</c><00:42:36.559><c> answer,</c><00:42:36.880><c> is</c><00:42:37.000><c> it?</c>

00:42:38.860 --> 00:42:41.460
Jesus<00:42:39.539><c> would</c><00:42:40.219><c> have</c><00:42:40.340><c> been</c><00:42:40.420><c> very</c><00:42:40.860><c> sad</c>

00:42:41.460 --> 00:42:46.099
the<00:42:42.099><c> way</c><00:42:42.239><c> Deutrophes</c><00:42:43.019><c> treated</c><00:42:43.480><c> his</c><00:42:44.440><c> beloved</c><00:42:44.860><c> apostle.</c>

00:42:47.300 --> 00:42:49.119

00:42:50.199 --> 00:42:55.420
I<00:42:50.420><c> believe</c><00:42:50.639><c> that</c><00:42:50.860><c> Deutrophes</c><00:42:52.659><c> will</c><00:42:54.219><c> be</c><00:42:54.739><c> rejected,</c>

00:42:55.659 --> 00:42:58.559
