00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:47.800
certainly<00:02:47.560><c> with</c>

00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:51.479
Ephesians<00:02:48.680><c> and</c><00:02:49.000><c> I</c><00:02:49.180><c> can't</c><00:02:49.520><c> say</c><00:02:49.699><c> for</c><00:02:49.860><c> Brother</c><00:02:50.120><c> Dev</c><00:02:50.340><c> because</c><00:02:50.979><c> I</c>

00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:53.039
haven't<00:02:51.740><c> been</c><00:02:51.879><c> able</c><00:02:52.039><c> to</c><00:02:52.199><c> hear</c><00:02:52.360><c> his</c><00:02:52.680><c> sessions</c>

00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:59.439
but<00:02:53.620><c> undoubtedly</c><00:02:54.180><c> James</c><00:02:54.659><c> would</c><00:02:54.860><c> also</c><00:02:55.539><c> be</c><00:02:55.900><c> very</c><00:02:56.199><c> concerned</c><00:02:56.620><c> with</c><00:02:56.840><c> the</c><00:02:57.199><c> principles</c><00:02:57.639><c> involved</c><00:02:58.259><c> in</c><00:02:58.539><c> this.</c>

00:02:59.860 --> 00:03:03.800
So<00:03:00.080><c> we've</c><00:03:00.639><c> possibly</c><00:03:00.860><c> still</c><00:03:01.159><c> got</c><00:03:01.280><c> our</c><00:03:01.520><c> Bibles</c><00:03:01.740><c> open</c><00:03:02.060><c> at</c><00:03:02.280><c> Philippians</c><00:03:02.719><c> 2</c><00:03:03.400><c> and</c>

00:03:23.060 --> 00:03:27.219
And<00:03:23.199><c> so</c><00:03:23.400><c> Paul</c><00:03:23.659><c> is</c><00:03:23.900><c> going</c><00:03:24.020><c> to</c><00:03:24.300><c> describe</c><00:03:24.580><c> here</c><00:03:25.020><c> the</c><00:03:25.520><c> great</c><00:03:25.840><c> humility</c><00:03:26.659><c> of</c>
