00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:29.860

we<00:10:34.860><c> may</c><00:10:35.159><c> be</c><00:10:35.500><c> sure,</c><00:10:35.820><c> therefore,</c>

00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:40.039
that<00:10:37.200><c> it</c><00:10:37.340><c> was</c><00:10:37.460><c> on</c><00:10:37.820><c> this</c><00:10:38.279><c> third</c><00:10:38.940><c> missionary</c><00:10:39.500><c> journey</c>

00:10:44.500 --> 00:10:47.320
So<00:10:45.000><c> we</c><00:10:45.299><c> know</c><00:10:45.559><c> that</c><00:10:45.740><c> by</c><00:10:46.000><c> that</c><00:10:46.340><c> time,</c>

00:11:00.820 --> 00:11:03.659
They<00:11:01.059><c> were</c><00:11:01.259><c> meeting</c><00:11:01.679><c> regularly</c><00:11:02.279><c> on</c><00:11:02.500><c> the</c><00:11:02.679><c> first</c><00:11:02.940><c> day</c><00:11:03.080><c> of</c><00:11:03.179><c> the</c><00:11:03.360><c> week</c>

00:11:03.659 --> 00:11:07.960
and<00:11:04.440><c> were</c><00:11:04.700><c> able</c><00:11:05.100><c> to</c><00:11:05.480><c> take</c><00:11:05.700><c> up</c><00:11:05.919><c> their</c><00:11:06.240><c> collections</c><00:11:06.960><c> for</c><00:11:07.720><c> the</c>

good<00:11:08.220><c> causes.</c>

00:11:09.539 --> 00:11:13.860
And<00:11:09.720><c> Paul</c><00:11:09.960><c> is</c><00:11:10.279><c> making</c><00:11:10.639><c> sure</c><00:11:11.279><c> that</c><00:11:12.179><c> one</c><00:11:12.500><c> of</c><00:11:12.720><c> their</c><00:11:12.899><c> good</c><00:11:13.220><c> causes</c>

00:11:13.860 --> 00:11:18.179

00:11:21.539 --> 00:11:27.240
Now,<00:11:22.220><c> I</c><00:11:22.440><c> said</c><00:11:22.639><c> we'd</c><00:11:23.240><c> go</c><00:11:23.419><c> back</c><00:11:23.720><c> to</c><00:11:23.940><c> him</c><00:11:24.019><c> being</c><00:11:24.440><c> at</c><00:11:25.860><c> Corinth</c>

00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:29.019
only<00:11:28.200><c> for</c><00:11:28.460><c> this</c><00:11:28.700><c> reason.</c>

00:11:29.019 --> 00:11:31.399
I<00:11:29.240><c> just</c><00:11:29.519><c> wanted</c><00:11:29.779><c> to</c><00:11:30.019><c> make</c><00:11:30.200><c> a</c><00:11:30.419><c> footnote</c><00:11:30.879><c> here</c>

00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:35.019
about<00:11:32.279><c> him</c><00:11:32.919><c> working</c><00:11:33.379><c> with</c><00:11:33.620><c> his</c><00:11:33.860><c> own</c><00:11:34.179><c> hands</c>

00:11:35.019 --> 00:11:39.759
because<00:11:35.840><c> sometimes</c><00:11:36.940><c> we</c><00:11:37.700><c> have</c><00:11:38.019><c> exaggerated</c><00:11:38.899><c> the</c><00:11:39.379><c> importance</c>

00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:40.279
of<00:11:40.059><c> this</c>

00:11:40.279 --> 00:11:43.820
and<00:11:40.960><c> made</c><00:11:41.399><c> it</c><00:11:41.659><c> a</c><00:11:41.840><c> charge</c><00:11:42.200><c> against</c><00:11:42.700><c> other</c><00:11:43.120><c> communities</c>

00:11:43.820 --> 00:11:46.600
that<00:11:44.379><c> they</c><00:11:44.659><c> have</c><00:11:44.799><c> what</c><00:11:44.980><c> we</c><00:11:45.200><c> call</c><00:11:45.360><c> a</c><00:11:45.600><c> paid</c><00:11:45.960><c> ministry</c>

00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:50.639
and<00:11:46.840><c> we've</c><00:11:47.720><c> been</c><00:11:47.919><c> known</c><00:11:48.100><c> to</c><00:11:48.299><c> say</c><00:11:48.519><c> that</c><00:11:48.759><c> this</c><00:11:49.000><c> is</c><00:11:49.700><c> unscriptural</c>

00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:52.580
and<00:11:50.799><c> it</c><00:11:50.960><c> isn't</c><00:11:51.139><c> unscriptural.</c>

00:11:52.740 --> 00:11:56.460

And<00:17:20.059><c> I</c><00:17:20.220><c> think</c><00:17:20.339><c> this</c><00:17:20.619><c> is</c><00:17:20.819><c> an</c><00:17:21.079><c> indication</c><00:17:21.599><c> of</c><00:17:21.900><c> the</c><00:17:22.019><c> fact</c>

00:17:27.380 --> 00:17:30.740
didn't<00:17:28.180><c> end</c><00:17:28.440><c> when</c><00:17:28.700><c> they</c><00:17:28.940><c> left</c><00:17:29.400><c> their</c><00:17:30.160><c> area,</c>

00:17:31.200 --> 00:17:34.319
but<00:17:31.400><c> they,</c><00:17:31.640><c> as</c><00:17:31.839><c> it</c><00:17:32.019><c> were,</c><00:17:32.380><c> pursued</c><00:17:32.779><c> them</c><00:17:33.039><c> with</c><00:17:33.319><c> their</c><00:17:33.660><c> kindness</c>

and<00:17:35.299><c> ministered</c><00:17:35.880><c> to</c><00:17:35.940><c> their</c><00:17:36.140><c> needs</c><00:17:36.599><c> even</c><00:17:37.140><c> when</c><00:17:37.339><c> they</c><00:17:37.539><c> were</c><00:17:37.819><c> in</c><00:17:37.960><c> Corinth.</c>

00:17:39.279 --> 00:17:43.460
So<00:17:39.539><c> when</c><00:17:39.779><c> our</c><00:17:40.039><c> brethren</c><00:17:40.380><c> go</c><00:17:40.839><c> abroad</c><00:17:41.220><c> on</c><00:17:42.319><c> Bible</c><00:17:42.700><c> mission</c><00:17:43.140><c> work,</c>

00:17:47.920 --> 00:17:52.259
that<00:17:48.400><c> they</c><00:17:48.640><c> should</c><00:17:48.880><c> be</c><00:17:49.200><c> maintained</c><00:17:50.140><c> by</c><00:17:50.980><c> the</c><00:17:51.880><c> church,</c>

00:17:57.119 --> 00:17:59.519
They're<00:17:57.359><c> not</c><00:17:57.579><c> going</c><00:17:57.740><c> to</c><00:17:57.900><c> make</c><00:17:58.099><c> a</c><00:17:58.299><c> fortune</c><00:17:58.660><c> out</c><00:17:59.000><c> of</c><00:17:59.180><c> it,</c>

00:17:59.700 --> 00:18:03.339
but<00:17:59.900><c> their</c><00:18:00.180><c> needs</c><00:18:00.720><c> should</c><00:18:01.440><c> be</c><00:18:01.859><c> supplied,</c><00:18:02.700><c> Paul</c><00:18:02.900><c> says,</c>

00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:08.079
should<00:18:04.000><c> be</c><00:18:04.460><c> supplied</c><00:18:05.099><c> by</c><00:18:05.920><c> those</c><00:18:06.259><c> who</c><00:18:06.740><c> use</c><00:18:07.039><c> their</c><00:18:07.339><c> services</c>

00:18:09.920 --> 00:18:13.900
And<00:18:10.400><c> there's</c><00:18:10.680><c> no</c><00:18:10.900><c> need</c><00:18:11.180><c> for</c><00:18:11.440><c> them</c><00:18:11.779><c> to</c><00:18:12.099><c> feel</c><00:18:12.380><c> inhibited,</c>

00:18:16.180 --> 00:18:18.680
for<00:18:16.480><c> anybody</c><00:18:16.839><c> to</c><00:18:17.200><c> offer</c><00:18:17.440><c> criticism</c>

00:18:18.940 --> 00:18:22.099
because<00:18:19.619><c> they</c><00:18:19.980><c> are</c><00:18:20.420><c> maintained</c><00:18:21.200><c> by</c><00:18:21.539><c> the</c><00:18:21.759><c> church.</c>

00:18:22.200 --> 00:18:27.359
That<00:18:22.599><c> is</c><00:18:23.059><c> what</c><00:18:23.319><c> the</c><00:18:23.579><c> Lord</c><00:18:24.359><c> ordained,</c><00:18:26.599><c> ordained.</c>

00:18:27.539 --> 00:18:32.019
We<00:18:27.859><c> may</c><00:18:28.160><c> very</c><00:18:28.640><c> properly</c><00:18:29.119><c> think,</c><00:18:29.460><c> and</c><00:18:29.640><c> I</c><00:18:29.859><c> think</c><00:18:29.980><c> we</c><00:18:30.240><c> do</c><00:18:30.539><c> properly</c><00:18:30.940><c> think,</c>

00:18:36.339 --> 00:18:40.200
because<00:18:37.440><c> I</c><00:18:37.819><c> know</c><00:18:38.380><c> that</c><00:18:38.720><c> there</c><00:18:39.019><c> have</c><00:18:39.259><c> been</c><00:18:39.599><c> problems</c>

00:24:41.759 --> 00:24:43.619
He<00:24:42.000><c> learned</c><00:24:42.339><c> it</c><00:24:42.680><c> quickly.</c>

00:24:44.039 --> 00:24:47.619
And<00:24:44.200><c> when</c><00:24:44.319><c> he</c><00:24:44.460><c> went</c><00:24:44.720><c> back</c><00:24:45.039><c> to</c><00:24:45.400><c> Corinth,</c><00:24:45.799><c> we're</c><00:24:46.200><c> told,</c><00:24:46.519><c> from</c><00:24:46.839><c> Ephesus,</c>

00:24:52.500 --> 00:24:55.519
He<00:24:52.880><c> mightily</c><00:24:53.579><c> convinced</c><00:24:54.180><c> the</c><00:24:54.519><c> Jews,</c>

00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:06.119
I<00:25:03.720><c> can</c><00:25:04.019><c> imagine</c><00:25:04.480><c> him</c><00:25:04.720><c> being</c><00:25:04.960><c> a</c><00:25:05.200><c> wonderful</c><00:25:05.680><c> speaker.</c>

00:25:06.119 --> 00:25:09.180
I<00:25:06.279><c> dare</c><00:25:06.400><c> say</c><00:25:06.619><c> you'd</c><00:25:06.940><c> love</c><00:25:07.079><c> to</c><00:25:07.240><c> have</c><00:25:07.339><c> him</c><00:25:07.480><c> at</c><00:25:07.519><c> your</c><00:25:07.740><c> Bible</c><00:25:08.200><c> school.</c>

00:25:09.299 --> 00:25:11.880
He<00:25:09.500><c> would</c><00:25:09.680><c> have</c><00:25:09.839><c> been</c><00:25:10.000><c> a</c><00:25:10.240><c> compelling</c><00:25:10.759><c> man,</c><00:25:11.319><c> you</c><00:25:11.619><c> see.</c>

Now<00:25:12.759><c> Paul</c><00:25:13.460><c> had</c><00:25:14.619><c> already</c><00:25:15.000><c> made,</c><00:25:15.579><c> as</c><00:25:15.839><c> I've</c><00:25:16.220><c> suggested,</c>

Hundreds,<00:25:20.740><c> certainly,</c><00:25:21.420><c> but</c><00:25:21.680><c> thousands,</c><00:25:22.220><c> I</c><00:25:22.440><c> would</c><00:25:22.720><c> think,</c><00:25:23.079><c> at</c><00:25:23.319><c> Corinth.</c>

00:25:23.900 --> 00:25:28.519
It<00:25:24.200><c> was</c><00:25:24.819><c> numerically</c><00:25:26.180><c> a</c><00:25:26.619><c> thriving</c><00:25:27.200><c> Ecclesia,</c>

00:25:35.599 --> 00:25:37.319
Marvellous<00:25:36.240><c> man.</c>

00:25:37.539 --> 00:25:42.460
And<00:25:37.619><c> they</c><00:25:37.799><c> began</c><00:25:38.079><c> to</c><00:25:38.880><c> compare</c><00:25:39.220><c> Paul</c><00:25:39.700><c> unfavourably</c><00:25:40.759><c> with</c><00:25:41.119><c> him,</c>

So<00:28:08.839><c> there</c><00:28:09.039><c> was</c><00:28:09.220><c> an</c><00:28:09.440><c> Apollos</c><00:28:09.940><c> party.</c>

00:28:37.920 --> 00:28:40.079
We've<00:28:38.319><c> got</c><00:28:38.440><c> the</c><00:28:38.680><c> same</c><00:28:38.940><c> sort</c><00:28:39.200><c> of</c><00:28:39.400><c> thing,</c><00:28:39.799><c> you</c><00:28:39.819><c> see.</c>

00:28:42.099 --> 00:28:47.339
The<00:28:42.380><c> point</c><00:28:42.599><c> I'm</c><00:28:42.880><c> trying</c><00:28:43.059><c> to</c><00:28:43.339><c> make</c><00:28:43.559><c> is</c><00:28:44.319><c> that</c><00:28:44.759><c> in</c><00:28:45.059><c> so</c><00:28:45.440><c> short</c><00:28:45.799><c> a</c><00:28:46.140><c> time,</c>

00:28:51.440 --> 00:28:55.359
I<00:28:51.779><c> wouldn't</c><00:28:52.140><c> think</c><00:28:52.480><c> it</c><00:28:52.660><c> could</c><00:28:52.920><c> be</c><00:28:53.119><c> more</c><00:28:53.440><c> than</c><00:28:53.559><c> two</c><00:28:53.839><c> or</c><00:28:53.940><c> three</c><00:28:54.279><c> years,</c>

00:29:06.099 --> 00:29:10.440
that<00:29:07.259><c> he</c><00:29:07.519><c> put</c><00:29:07.759><c> into</c><00:29:08.220><c> the</c><00:29:08.559><c> Corinthian</c><00:29:09.440><c> Ecclesia</c>

00:29:10.440 --> 00:29:14.720

00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:17.140
And<00:29:16.119><c> there</c><00:29:16.400><c> were</c><00:29:16.519><c> those</c><00:29:16.759><c> who</c><00:29:16.920><c> were</c><00:29:17.019><c> saying,</c>

00:29:17.140 --> 00:29:18.799
well,<00:29:17.619><c> we</c><00:29:17.779><c> like</c><00:29:18.039><c> this</c><00:29:18.359><c> Apollos.</c>

00:29:18.819 --> 00:29:20.839
He's<00:29:19.200><c> the</c><00:29:19.319><c> man</c><00:29:19.599><c> for</c><00:29:19.799><c> us.</c>

00:29:21.339 --> 00:29:25.819
We<00:29:21.660><c> think</c><00:29:21.839><c> he's</c><00:29:22.099><c> a</c><00:29:22.240><c> better</c><00:29:22.460><c> speaker</c><00:29:22.940><c> anyway</c><00:29:23.779><c> than</c><00:29:24.359><c> Paul</c><00:29:24.759><c> is.</c>

00:29:26.180 --> 00:29:30.740
Now,<00:29:26.839><c> none</c><00:29:27.160><c> of</c><00:29:27.460><c> these</c><00:29:27.799><c> leaders</c><00:29:28.400><c> wanted</c><00:29:29.000><c> to</c><00:29:29.359><c> have</c><00:29:29.700><c> followers.</c>

00:29:31.519 --> 00:29:36.140
It<00:29:31.680><c> wasn't</c><00:29:31.980><c> that</c><00:29:32.400><c> Paul</c><00:29:32.900><c> was</c><00:29:33.319><c> seeking</c><00:29:34.440><c> a</c><00:29:35.180><c> following.</c>

00:29:37.079 --> 00:29:41.039
It<00:29:37.240><c> wasn't</c><00:29:37.579><c> that</c><00:29:37.880><c> Apollos</c><00:29:38.519><c> was</c><00:29:39.359><c> seeking</c><00:29:40.079><c> a</c><00:29:40.480><c> following,</c>

00:29:41.039 --> 00:29:43.900

and<00:29:44.140><c> the</c><00:29:44.339><c> Ecclesia</c><00:29:44.740><c> was</c><00:29:45.079><c> becoming</c><00:29:45.440><c> split,</c>

00:29:46.759 --> 00:29:49.539
you<00:29:46.900><c> might</c><00:29:47.180><c> say,</c><00:29:48.019><c> four</c><00:29:48.420><c> ways.</c>

00:29:51.000 --> 00:29:53.799
And<00:29:51.299><c> we've</c><00:29:51.579><c> seen</c><00:29:51.700><c> this</c><00:29:51.940><c> when</c><00:29:52.140><c> we</c><00:29:52.319><c> go</c><00:29:52.579><c> over</c><00:29:52.980><c> to</c><00:29:53.220><c> the</c><00:29:53.380><c> Epistles.</c>

00:29:54.019 --> 00:29:58.920
You<00:29:54.119><c> see,</c><00:29:54.420><c> I'm</c><00:29:55.220><c> trying</c><00:29:55.539><c> to</c><00:29:55.859><c> tie</c><00:29:56.119><c> in</c><00:29:56.519><c> the</c><00:29:56.720><c> Epistles</c><00:29:57.200><c> with</c><00:29:57.640><c> the</c><00:29:58.019><c> Acts.</c>

00:29:59.200 --> 00:30:03.539
So<00:29:59.599><c> we</c><00:29:59.839><c> find</c><00:30:00.220><c> Apollos</c><00:30:00.819><c> going</c><00:30:01.299><c> from</c><00:30:02.420><c> Ephesus,</c>

00:31:11.220 --> 00:31:14.519

00:31:28.160 --> 00:31:30.900
That<00:31:28.339><c> would</c><00:31:28.579><c> have</c><00:31:28.680><c> put</c><00:31:28.799><c> him</c><00:31:28.960><c> down</c><00:31:29.240><c> the</c><00:31:29.440><c> peg,</c><00:31:29.660><c> wouldn't</c><00:31:29.920><c> it?</c>

00:31:33.240 --> 00:31:35.980
He<00:31:33.440><c> put</c><00:31:33.640><c> himself</c><00:31:34.240><c> down.</c>

00:31:36.039 --> 00:31:39.160
Was<00:31:36.279><c> Paul</c><00:31:36.920><c> crucified?</c>

00:31:39.420 --> 00:31:42.779
Let's<00:31:40.039><c> have</c><00:31:40.319><c> this</c><00:31:40.660><c> party</c><00:31:41.160><c> spirit,</c><00:31:41.900><c> he's</c><00:31:41.900><c> saying.</c>

00:31:43.140 --> 00:31:44.579
We<00:31:43.440><c> are</c><00:31:43.660><c> nothing.</c>

00:31:45.079 --> 00:31:47.400
We<00:31:45.299><c> are</c><00:31:45.440><c> only</c><00:31:45.720><c> your</c><00:31:46.180><c> servants.</c>

00:32:02.960 --> 00:32:06.119
So<00:32:03.119><c> in</c><00:32:03.299><c> the</c><00:32:03.480><c> third</c><00:32:03.740><c> chapter</c><00:32:04.460><c> of</c><00:32:05.180><c> the</c><00:32:05.339><c> same</c><00:32:05.579><c> epistle,</c>

00:35:42.639 --> 00:35:44.980
We've<00:35:42.940><c> already</c><00:35:43.320><c> seen</c><00:35:43.739><c> his</c><00:35:44.260><c> attitude</c>

And<00:36:11.840><c> from</c><00:36:12.119><c> Ephesus,</c><00:36:13.000><c> I</c><00:36:13.380><c> suggest,</c>

So<00:36:22.679><c> the</c><00:36:22.800><c> two</c><00:36:22.980><c> have</c><00:36:23.179><c> met</c><00:36:23.440><c> up,</c>

So<00:38:08.099><c> we</c><00:38:08.719><c> have</c><00:38:08.920><c> the</c><00:38:09.239><c> picture</c><00:38:09.780><c> of</c><00:38:10.579><c> these</c><00:38:10.940><c> two</c><00:38:11.340><c> great</c><00:38:12.219><c> leaders,</c>

00:38:13.719 --> 00:38:18.760
and<00:38:14.000><c> Paul</c><00:38:14.960><c> greatly</c><00:38:15.780><c> besought</c><00:38:16.460><c> him</c><00:38:17.159><c> to</c><00:38:17.719><c> go</c><00:38:18.000><c> to</c><00:38:18.380><c> Corinth</c>

00:38:18.760 --> 00:38:20.559
and<00:38:19.519><c> visit</c><00:38:19.980><c> again.</c>

00:38:20.559 --> 00:38:24.880
This<00:38:21.219><c> very</c><00:38:21.860><c> hotbed</c><00:38:22.519><c> of</c><00:38:22.820><c> opposition</c><00:38:23.380><c> to</c><00:38:23.719><c> himself.</c>

00:38:26.039 --> 00:38:27.380
I<00:38:26.139><c> greatly</c><00:38:26.500><c> besought</c><00:38:27.119><c> him.</c>

00:38:27.699 --> 00:38:29.900
I<00:38:28.219><c> wouldn't</c><00:38:28.519><c> have</c><00:38:28.780><c> done</c><00:38:28.900><c> it,</c><00:38:29.260><c> I</c><00:38:29.300><c> don't</c><00:38:29.360><c> think,</c><00:38:29.719><c> would</c><00:38:29.760><c> you?</c>

00:38:30.059 --> 00:38:31.539
I<00:38:30.059><c> think</c><00:38:30.360><c> most</c><00:38:30.760><c> of</c><00:38:30.940><c> us</c><00:38:31.079><c> would</c><00:38:31.280><c> have</c><00:38:31.340><c> said,</c>

00:38:31.940 --> 00:38:35.119
well,<00:38:32.300><c> we'd</c><00:38:32.559><c> better</c><00:38:32.659><c> keep</c><00:38:32.940><c> him</c><00:38:33.159><c> away</c><00:38:33.460><c> from</c><00:38:33.699><c> there</c><00:38:33.920><c> for</c><00:38:34.159><c> a</c><00:38:34.360><c> bit.</c>

00:38:35.320 --> 00:38:36.760
He's<00:38:35.519><c> got</c><00:38:35.679><c> too</c><00:38:35.940><c> strong</c><00:38:36.239><c> a</c><00:38:36.460><c> following.</c>

00:38:36.920 --> 00:38:38.639
Everybody's<00:38:37.420><c> going</c><00:38:37.659><c> after</c><00:38:38.139><c> him.</c>

00:38:39.079 --> 00:38:42.340
They've<00:38:39.340><c> started</c><00:38:39.619><c> an</c><00:38:39.840><c> Apollos</c><00:38:40.219><c> party</c><00:38:40.780><c> there</c><00:38:41.119><c> now,</c><00:38:41.340><c> you</c><00:38:41.539><c> know.</c>

00:38:42.440 --> 00:38:45.119
Let's<00:38:42.719><c> keep</c><00:38:42.960><c> him</c><00:38:43.159><c> out</c><00:38:43.340><c> of</c><00:38:43.500><c> the</c><00:38:43.760><c> limelight</c><00:38:44.300><c> for</c><00:38:44.579><c> a</c><00:38:44.739><c> bit.</c>

00:38:45.500 --> 00:38:46.519
But<00:38:45.739><c> not</c><00:38:46.059><c> Paul.</c>

00:38:46.519 --> 00:38:50.840
He<00:38:47.719><c> says,</c><00:38:49.039><c> why</c><00:38:49.119><c> don't</c><00:38:49.420><c> you</c><00:38:49.619><c> go,</c><00:38:50.099><c> Brother?</c>

00:38:50.880 --> 00:38:52.579
Go<00:38:51.199><c> and</c><00:38:51.360><c> visit</c><00:38:51.659><c> them.</c>

00:38:53.039 --> 00:38:55.599
And<00:38:53.260><c> then</c><00:38:53.380><c> we</c><00:38:53.579><c> have</c><00:38:53.800><c> Apollos,</c><00:38:54.420><c> the</c><00:38:54.619><c> mighty</c><00:38:54.980><c> orator,</c>

00:38:56.000 --> 00:38:58.000
saying,<00:38:56.539><c> no,</c><00:38:56.760><c> I</c><00:38:56.880><c> don't</c><00:38:57.179><c> think</c><00:38:57.360><c> so,</c><00:38:57.800><c> Paul.</c>

00:38:58.360 --> 00:39:02.179
I'll<00:38:58.800><c> go</c><00:38:59.139><c> later</c><00:38:59.539><c> on,</c><00:38:59.960><c> but</c><00:39:00.119><c> I</c><00:39:00.280><c> think</c><00:39:00.539><c> for</c><00:39:00.719><c> the</c><00:39:00.940><c> time</c><00:39:01.260><c> being,</c>

00:39:02.219 --> 00:39:03.260
I<00:39:02.400><c> won't</c><00:39:02.760><c> go.</c>

00:39:03.519 --> 00:39:06.559
It's<00:39:03.800><c> perhaps</c><00:39:04.139><c> better</c><00:39:04.860><c> if</c><00:39:05.099><c> I</c><00:39:05.280><c> stay</c><00:39:05.579><c> away.</c>

00:39:06.739 --> 00:39:10.860
And<00:39:07.059><c> I</c><00:39:07.280><c> think</c><00:39:07.420><c> that's</c><00:39:07.800><c> a</c><00:39:07.960><c> wonderful</c><00:39:08.360><c> example</c><00:39:08.920><c> of</c><00:39:09.519><c> Christian</c><00:39:10.059><c> behaviour.</c>

00:39:10.860 --> 00:39:17.880
