00:20:59.819 --> 00:21:03.940
You<00:20:59.960><c> see</c><00:21:00.119><c> as</c><00:21:01.740><c> Paul</c><00:21:02.220><c> collects</c><00:21:02.720><c> Timothy</c><00:21:03.200><c> in</c><00:21:03.460><c> Lystra</c>

00:21:03.940 --> 00:21:07.740

we<00:21:09.660><c> reckon</c><00:21:09.940><c> that</c><00:21:10.240><c> Timothy</c><00:21:10.640><c> was</c><00:21:11.400><c> under</c><00:21:11.839><c> 20,</c>

00:21:13.319 --> 00:21:15.819

00:21:15.819 --> 00:21:18.599
that<00:21:16.400><c> I've</c><00:21:16.660><c> put</c><00:21:16.759><c> there</c><00:21:17.000><c> on</c><00:21:17.460><c> the</c><00:21:17.640><c> slide</c><00:21:18.039><c> here.</c>

00:21:19.079 --> 00:21:22.259
And<00:21:19.319><c> as</c><00:21:19.440><c> they</c><00:21:19.839><c> first</c><00:21:20.500><c> go</c><00:21:20.960><c> to</c><00:21:21.319><c> Philippi,</c>

00:21:22.259 --> 00:21:25.799
there<00:21:23.079><c> we've</c><00:21:23.440><c> got</c><00:21:23.599><c> this</c><00:21:23.920><c> young</c><00:21:24.480><c> brother,</c>

00:21:35.779 --> 00:21:43.500
And<00:21:36.299><c> it's</c><00:21:37.000><c> probable</c><00:21:37.519><c> that</c><00:21:39.240><c> the</c><00:21:40.420><c> Apostle</c><00:21:40.799><c> Paul</c><00:21:41.220><c> is</c><00:21:42.460><c> perhaps</c>

00:21:43.500 --> 00:21:48.200
about<00:21:44.000><c> 10</c><00:21:44.339><c> years</c><00:21:44.880><c> younger</c><00:21:45.519><c> than</c><00:21:46.799><c> the</c><00:21:47.200><c> AD</c><00:21:47.599><c> dates,</c>

00:21:52.579 --> 00:21:55.539
So<00:21:52.759><c> perhaps</c><00:21:53.059><c> the</c><00:21:53.259><c> Apostle</c><00:21:53.599><c> Paul</c><00:21:53.839><c> is</c><00:21:54.079><c> around</c><00:21:54.460><c> 40</c><00:21:54.819><c> years</c><00:21:55.140><c> old</c><00:21:55.380><c> at</c>

00:24:18.740 --> 00:24:20.359
It<00:24:18.880><c> was</c><00:24:19.220><c> genuine.</c>

00:24:20.720 --> 00:24:26.579
In<00:24:21.299><c> just</c><00:24:21.660><c> the</c><00:24:21.880><c> same</c><00:24:22.119><c> way,</c><00:24:22.680><c> Timothy</c><00:24:23.099><c> genuinely</c><00:24:24.519><c> cared</c><00:24:25.160><c> for</c><00:24:25.440><c> people.</c>

but<00:24:31.039><c> he</c><00:24:31.460><c> genuinely</c><00:24:32.059><c> cared.</c>

00:24:33.079 --> 00:24:36.519
He<00:24:33.380><c> wanted</c><00:24:33.680><c> to</c><00:24:33.920><c> know</c><00:24:34.079><c> about</c><00:24:34.359><c> them</c><00:24:34.559><c> and</c><00:24:34.680><c> he</c><00:24:34.799><c> wanted</c><00:24:35.119><c> to</c><00:24:35.400><c> help</c><00:24:35.599><c> them.</c>

00:24:49.339 --> 00:24:54.720
because<00:24:50.299><c> he</c><00:24:50.700><c> now</c><00:24:51.059><c> had</c><00:24:51.299><c> the</c><00:24:51.720><c> guardianship</c><00:24:52.740><c> of</c><00:24:53.359><c> this</c><00:24:53.680><c> young</c><00:24:53.980><c> man</c><00:24:54.319><c> Timothy</c>

00:24:56.059 --> 00:25:00.099
And<00:24:56.180><c> it</c><00:24:56.240><c> was</c><00:24:56.579><c> a</c><00:24:56.880><c> necessary</c><00:24:57.440><c> part</c><00:24:58.000><c> of</c><00:24:58.460><c> the</c><00:24:58.619><c> Apostle's</c><00:24:59.200><c> own</c><00:24:59.519><c> development</c>

00:25:00.099 --> 00:25:02.559

00:25:12.180 --> 00:25:16.440
Everyone<00:25:13.500><c> else</c><00:25:14.000><c> is</c><00:25:14.680><c> egocentric.</c>

00:25:17.259 --> 00:25:18.940

00:25:23.779 --> 00:25:25.759

00:32:57.019 --> 00:33:01.460
He<00:32:57.539><c> was</c><00:32:58.059><c> in</c><00:32:58.180><c> the</c><00:32:58.480><c> form</c><00:32:58.700><c> of</c><00:32:58.859><c> God,</c><00:32:59.200><c> we're</c><00:32:59.380><c> told</c><00:32:59.519><c> in</c><00:32:59.740><c> verse</c><00:33:00.019><c> 6.</c>

00:33:01.920 --> 00:33:04.680
But<00:33:01.960><c> he</c><00:33:02.140><c> counted</c><00:33:02.480><c> it</c><00:33:02.660><c> not</c><00:33:02.859><c> a</c><00:33:03.200><c> prize</c><00:33:03.619><c> to</c><00:33:03.819><c> be</c><00:33:03.960><c> on</c><00:33:04.059><c> an</c><00:33:04.299><c> equality</c>

00:33:04.680 --> 00:33:06.000
with<00:33:04.980><c> God,</c>

00:33:06.480 --> 00:33:11.359
but<00:33:06.640><c> made</c><00:33:06.859><c> himself</c><00:33:07.259><c> of</c><00:33:07.440><c> no</c><00:33:07.680><c> reputation</c><00:33:08.279><c> and</c><00:33:08.480><c> took</c><00:33:08.640><c> upon</c><00:33:08.920><c> himself</c><00:33:09.619><c> the</c><00:33:10.500><c> form</c><00:33:10.700><c> of</c><00:33:10.980><c> a</c><00:33:11.099><c> servant.</c>

00:33:11.539 --> 00:33:17.359
He<00:33:11.640><c> humbled</c><00:33:11.980><c> himself</c><00:33:12.779><c> and</c><00:33:13.680><c> became</c><00:33:14.019><c> obedient</c><00:33:14.779><c> even</c><00:33:15.759><c> unto</c><00:33:16.039><c> death.</c>

00:33:19.299 --> 00:33:21.640
Quite<00:33:19.819><c> remarkable,</c><00:33:20.579><c> really,</c><00:33:20.720><c> isn't</c><00:33:20.880><c> it?</c>

00:33:21.920 --> 00:33:26.240
That<00:33:22.299><c> the</c><00:33:22.539><c> Apostle</c><00:33:23.000><c> saw</c><00:33:23.680><c> his</c><00:33:24.299><c> job</c><00:33:24.799><c> with</c><00:33:25.180><c> Timothy</c>

00:33:52.819 --> 00:33:58.380

00:34:55.019 --> 00:34:59.000
Well,<00:34:55.440><c> I</c><00:34:55.579><c> think</c><00:34:55.719><c> that</c><00:34:55.920><c> was</c><00:34:56.139><c> a</c><00:34:56.219><c> letter</c><00:34:56.440><c> written</c><00:34:56.800><c> from</c><00:34:57.860><c> imprisonment,</c>

point<00:35:08.360><c> here,</c>

00:35:09.179 --> 00:35:13.159

00:35:13.599 --> 00:35:16.500

00:35:28.179 --> 00:35:34.400
I<00:35:28.699><c> wonder</c><00:35:29.119><c> really</c><00:35:29.500><c> whether</c><00:35:29.739><c> the</c><00:35:31.900><c> information</c><00:35:32.460><c> that</c><00:35:32.659><c> we</c><00:35:32.840><c> have</c><00:35:33.019><c> here</c>
