00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:21.139
then<00:03:18.419><c> the</c><00:03:18.639><c> disciple</c><00:03:18.919><c> must</c><00:03:19.199><c> say,</c><00:03:19.699><c> I</c><00:03:19.699><c> will</c><00:03:20.039><c> not</c><00:03:20.300><c> do</c><00:03:20.439><c> as</c><00:03:20.659><c> you</c><00:03:20.939><c> say,</c>

then<00:08:20.920><c> the</c><00:08:21.139><c> believer</c><00:08:21.300><c> must</c><00:08:21.579><c> stick</c><00:08:21.879><c> firm</c><00:08:22.100><c> to</c><00:08:22.279><c> her</c><00:08:22.600><c> or</c><00:08:22.839><c> his</c><00:08:23.279><c> faith</c>
