00:05:03.740 --> 00:05:05.660
Because<00:05:03.800><c> you</c><00:05:03.959><c> look</c><00:05:04.100><c> at</c><00:05:04.240><c> it.</c>

00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:55.399

When<00:06:47.199><c> he</c><00:06:47.339><c> says</c><00:06:47.579><c> it's</c><00:06:47.939><c> according</c><00:06:48.339><c> to</c><00:06:48.579><c> every</c><00:06:48.800><c> man's</c><00:06:49.279><c> several</c><00:06:49.439><c> ability,</c>

00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:52.180
and<00:06:50.199><c> he</c><00:06:50.379><c> pointed</c><00:06:50.560><c> out,</c><00:06:50.939><c> brothers,</c><00:06:51.240><c> and</c><00:06:51.420><c> rightly</c><00:06:51.720><c> so,</c>

00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:55.379
that<00:06:52.519><c> this</c><00:06:52.740><c> deals</c><00:06:53.019><c> with</c><00:06:53.399><c> brethren</c><00:06:53.839><c> and</c><00:06:54.279><c> sisters</c><00:06:54.540><c> in</c><00:06:54.720><c> the</c><00:06:54.860><c> meeting</c><00:06:55.100><c> who</c>

00:06:55.379 --> 00:06:57.759
have<00:06:55.959><c> different</c><00:06:56.480><c> abilities.</c>

00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:01.120
We<00:06:58.439><c> haven't</c><00:06:58.800><c> all</c><00:06:59.160><c> got</c><00:06:59.680><c> the</c><00:07:00.040><c> same</c><00:07:00.540><c> ability.</c>

00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:04.199
So<00:07:01.699><c> the</c><00:07:01.980><c> distribution</c><00:07:02.540><c> is</c><00:07:02.980><c> unequal.</c>

00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:07.620
Everyone<00:07:05.639><c> hasn't</c><00:07:05.899><c> got</c><00:07:06.139><c> the</c><00:07:06.420><c> same</c><00:07:06.680><c> ability.</c>

00:07:08.660 --> 00:07:10.500
Some<00:07:09.079><c> have</c><00:07:09.279><c> a</c><00:07:09.420><c> better</c><00:07:09.579><c> memory</c><00:07:09.920><c> than</c><00:07:10.100><c> others.</c>

00:07:10.500 --> 00:07:14.959
Some<00:07:11.360><c> have</c><00:07:12.040><c> more</c><00:07:12.480><c> adept</c><00:07:12.899><c> at</c><00:07:13.220><c> studying</c><00:07:13.600><c> the</c><00:07:13.860><c> word</c><00:07:14.100><c> and</c><00:07:14.240><c> so</c><00:07:14.540><c> forth.</c>

00:07:15.220 --> 00:07:17.699
There<00:07:15.259><c> are</c><00:07:15.459><c> others</c><00:07:15.720><c> better</c><00:07:16.300><c> equipped</c><00:07:16.680><c> to</c><00:07:16.879><c> do</c><00:07:16.980><c> this</c><00:07:17.360><c> work</c><00:07:17.500><c> or</c>

00:07:17.699 --> 00:07:18.199
that<00:07:18.000><c> work.</c>

00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:19.680
We're<00:07:18.360><c> not</c><00:07:18.480><c> all</c><00:07:18.720><c> the</c><00:07:18.980><c> same.</c>

00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:23.139
We're<00:07:20.360><c> unequal</c><00:07:20.819><c> when</c><00:07:20.939><c> it</c><00:07:21.060><c> comes</c><00:07:21.420><c> to</c><00:07:22.019><c> abilities.</c>

00:07:24.420 --> 00:07:27.620
But<00:07:24.579><c> the</c><00:07:24.720><c> rewards</c><00:07:25.180><c> are</c><00:07:25.560><c> exactly</c><00:07:26.180><c> the</c><00:07:26.560><c> same.</c>

00:07:28.139 --> 00:07:29.800
Now,<00:07:28.259><c> what's</c><00:07:28.420><c> that</c><00:07:28.660><c> telling</c><00:07:28.879><c> us?</c>

00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:32.420
It's<00:07:30.480><c> telling</c><00:07:30.579><c> us,</c><00:07:30.959><c> brothers</c><00:07:31.060><c> and</c><00:07:31.300><c> sisters,</c><00:07:31.680><c> that</c><00:07:31.800><c> God</c><00:07:32.040><c> does</c>

00:07:32.420 --> 00:07:34.519
not<00:07:32.720><c> reward</c><00:07:33.360><c> ability.</c>

00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:39.759
He<00:07:35.259><c> rewards</c><00:07:36.120><c> faithfulness,</c><00:07:37.839><c> irrespective</c><00:07:38.500><c> of</c><00:07:38.620><c> your</c><00:07:38.860><c> ability.</c>

00:07:39.779 --> 00:07:43.040
It<00:07:40.259><c> doesn't</c><00:07:40.620><c> matter</c><00:07:40.959><c> what</c><00:07:41.579><c> ability</c><00:07:42.019><c> you</c><00:07:42.180><c> have.</c>

00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:45.279
That's<00:07:43.660><c> taken</c><00:07:43.939><c> into</c><00:07:44.160><c> account</c><00:07:44.560><c> by</c><00:07:44.819><c> the</c><00:07:44.959><c> Father.</c>

00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:48.860
He<00:07:45.480><c> expects</c><00:07:46.459><c> faithfulness</c><00:07:47.259><c> according</c><00:07:47.639><c> to</c><00:07:47.800><c> that</c><00:07:47.920><c> ability.</c>

00:07:49.060 --> 00:07:51.339
And<00:07:49.139><c> he's</c><00:07:49.220><c> not</c><00:07:49.480><c> going</c><00:07:49.680><c> to</c><00:07:49.800><c> reward</c><00:07:50.220><c> a</c><00:07:50.379><c> brother</c><00:07:50.639><c> or</c><00:07:50.779><c> a</c><00:07:51.000><c> sister</c>

00:07:51.339 --> 00:07:54.720
who<00:07:51.720><c> happens</c><00:07:52.019><c> to</c><00:07:52.279><c> have</c><00:07:52.560><c> a</c><00:07:52.620><c> little</c><00:07:52.899><c> bit</c><00:07:53.300><c> more</c><00:07:53.540><c> personal</c><00:07:54.000><c> endowments</c><00:07:54.540><c> than</c>

00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:55.279
somebody<00:07:55.139><c> else.</c>

00:07:55.319 --> 00:07:57.980
That's<00:07:55.720><c> not</c><00:07:56.160><c> the</c><00:07:56.259><c> way</c><00:07:56.579><c> that</c><00:07:56.779><c> God</c><00:07:56.959><c> works.</c>

00:07:58.500 --> 00:08:00.439
So<00:07:58.660><c> we</c><00:07:58.779><c> might</c><00:07:59.019><c> think</c><00:07:59.199><c> in</c><00:07:59.339><c> the</c><00:07:59.480><c> meeting,</c><00:07:59.819><c> well,</c><00:07:59.920><c> this</c><00:08:00.180><c> brother</c>

00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:01.300
or<00:08:00.600><c> that</c><00:08:00.860><c> sister</c>

00:08:01.300 --> 00:08:03.279

00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:05.699
Surely<00:08:04.079><c> they</c><00:08:04.279><c> will</c><00:08:04.459><c> be</c><00:08:04.699><c> great</c><00:08:04.899><c> in</c><00:08:05.060><c> the</c><00:08:05.199><c> Kingdom</c><00:08:05.379><c> of</c><00:08:05.560><c> God.</c>

00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:08.339
Well,<00:08:05.879><c> they</c><00:08:06.100><c> might,</c><00:08:06.680><c> and</c><00:08:06.839><c> they</c><00:08:06.980><c> might</c><00:08:07.319><c> not.</c>

00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:10.740
But<00:08:09.279><c> we</c><00:08:09.399><c> will</c><00:08:09.600><c> find,</c><00:08:10.199><c> brothers</c><00:08:10.199><c> and</c><00:08:10.459><c> sisters,</c>

00:08:10.759 --> 00:08:13.540
that<00:08:11.019><c> another</c><00:08:11.759><c> brother</c><00:08:12.180><c> or</c><00:08:12.339><c> sister</c><00:08:12.759><c> in</c><00:08:12.879><c> the</c><00:08:13.079><c> meeting</c>

00:08:13.540 --> 00:08:16.939

00:08:17.100 --> 00:08:19.279
or<00:08:17.199><c> God</c><00:08:17.360><c>-given</c><00:08:17.579><c> abilities</c><00:08:18.000><c> in</c><00:08:18.199><c> that</c><00:08:18.439><c> sense,</c>

00:08:19.379 --> 00:08:22.699
but<00:08:19.620><c> does</c><00:08:19.860><c> the</c><00:08:20.139><c> very</c><00:08:20.740><c> best</c><00:08:21.259><c> with</c><00:08:21.459><c> what</c><00:08:21.660><c> they've</c><00:08:22.019><c> got</c>

00:08:22.699 --> 00:08:26.839

00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:29.420

00:08:29.420 --> 00:08:30.500
the<00:08:29.600><c> world.</c>

00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:33.080
God<00:08:31.079><c> doesn't</c><00:08:31.399><c> reward</c><00:08:31.899><c> ability.</c>

00:08:33.620 --> 00:08:35.700
He<00:08:33.899><c> rewards</c><00:08:34.659><c> faithfulness.</c>

00:08:35.700 --> 00:08:38.559
That's<00:08:36.799><c> the</c><00:08:36.980><c> parable</c><00:08:37.200><c> of</c><00:08:37.379><c> the</c><00:08:37.559><c> talents.</c>

00:08:39.379 --> 00:08:41.840
But<00:08:39.460><c> when</c><00:08:39.559><c> we</c><00:08:39.700><c> come</c><00:08:39.919><c> to</c><00:08:40.039><c> the</c><00:08:40.279><c> parable</c><00:08:40.480><c> of</c><00:08:40.679><c> the</c><00:08:40.879><c> pounds,</c>

00:08:42.019 --> 00:08:44.700
because<00:08:42.379><c> the</c><00:08:42.639><c> pound</c><00:08:42.919><c> is</c><00:08:43.200><c> of</c><00:08:43.340><c> this</c><00:08:44.000><c> singular</c><00:08:44.299><c> value</c>

00:08:44.700 --> 00:08:47.320

The<00:08:51.820><c> truth.</c><00:08:52.220><c> And</c><00:08:52.700><c> everybody's</c><00:08:53.539><c> got</c><00:08:53.679><c> the</c><00:08:53.960><c> truth.</c>

00:08:54.940 --> 00:08:57.600
That<00:08:55.139><c> is,</c><00:08:55.559><c> all</c><00:08:55.779><c> those</c><00:08:56.019><c> of</c><00:08:56.100><c> us</c><00:08:56.240><c> who</c><00:08:56.340><c> are</c><00:08:56.519><c> baptised</c><00:08:56.960><c> into</c><00:08:57.179><c> Christ.</c>

00:08:57.799 --> 00:08:59.879
We've<00:08:58.039><c> all</c><00:08:58.299><c> got</c><00:08:58.659><c> the</c><00:08:58.980><c> truth.</c>

00:09:00.019 --> 00:09:05.639
And<00:09:00.620><c> we</c><00:09:00.840><c> don't</c><00:09:01.279><c> all</c><00:09:02.039><c> do</c><00:09:02.720><c> what</c><00:09:03.019><c> we</c><00:09:03.279><c> ought</c><00:09:03.600><c> to</c><00:09:03.840><c> do</c><00:09:04.139><c> with</c><00:09:04.419><c> the</c><00:09:04.679><c> truth.</c>

00:09:06.720 --> 00:09:08.559
And<00:09:06.720><c> you</c><00:09:06.840><c> see,</c><00:09:07.240><c> brothers</c><00:09:07.340><c> and</c><00:09:07.600><c> sisters,</c>

00:09:08.600 --> 00:09:09.840
God<00:09:08.779><c> doesn't</c><00:09:09.100><c> reward</c><00:09:09.419><c> ability</c>

00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:16.720
That's<00:09:13.799><c> the</c><00:09:14.080><c> power.</c><00:09:14.379><c> That's</c><00:09:14.720><c> the</c><00:09:14.820><c> real</c><00:09:15.120><c> power</c><00:09:15.559><c> in</c><00:09:15.779><c> life.</c>

00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:20.000
It's<00:09:17.320><c> a</c><00:09:17.519><c> power</c><00:09:17.860><c> available</c><00:09:18.500><c> to</c><00:09:18.740><c> all</c><00:09:19.000><c> of</c><00:09:19.120><c> us.</c>

00:09:20.419 --> 00:09:22.539
And<00:09:20.639><c> depending</c><00:09:20.960><c> upon</c><00:09:21.259><c> how</c><00:09:21.419><c> we</c><00:09:21.700><c> use</c><00:09:21.940><c> it,</c>

00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:25.419
the<00:09:23.039><c> rewards</c><00:09:23.379><c> are</c><00:09:23.580><c> going</c><00:09:23.679><c> to</c><00:09:23.799><c> be</c><00:09:24.139><c> different.</c>

00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:28.120
Because<00:09:26.620><c> now</c><00:09:26.879><c> it's</c><00:09:27.000><c> not</c><00:09:27.179><c> ability,</c>

00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:29.620
it's<00:09:28.759><c> just</c><00:09:29.139><c> the</c><00:09:29.440><c> truth.</c>

00:09:29.879 --> 00:09:32.600
And<00:09:30.120><c> everybody's</c><00:09:31.080><c> got</c><00:09:31.340><c> the</c><00:09:31.559><c> truth.</c>

00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:34.460
And<00:09:33.139><c> they've</c><00:09:33.320><c> got</c><00:09:33.440><c> it</c><00:09:33.700><c> equal.</c>

00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:36.860
And<00:09:35.179><c> that's</c><00:09:35.480><c> the</c><00:09:35.559><c> great</c><00:09:35.820><c> difference.</c>

00:09:37.059 --> 00:09:39.360
And<00:09:37.320><c> I</c><00:09:37.440><c> don't</c><00:09:37.620><c> believe</c><00:09:37.919><c> that</c><00:09:38.059><c> you</c><00:09:38.139><c> can</c><00:09:38.279><c> ever</c><00:09:38.480><c> really</c><00:09:38.840><c> understand</c>

00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:40.559
either<00:09:39.840><c> of</c><00:09:39.899><c> those</c><00:09:40.220><c> parables</c>

00:09:40.559 --> 00:09:42.559
unless<00:09:40.860><c> you</c><00:09:41.039><c> see</c><00:09:41.220><c> them</c><00:09:41.360><c> by</c><00:09:41.639><c> contrast.</c>

00:09:42.700 --> 00:09:44.659
Because<00:09:42.980><c> once</c><00:09:43.220><c> you</c><00:09:43.379><c> do</c><00:09:43.580><c> that,</c>

00:09:44.740 --> 00:09:47.519
the<00:09:45.100><c> lesson</c><00:09:45.500><c> is</c><00:09:46.139><c> clearly</c><00:09:46.500><c> obvious.</c>

00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:50.259
If<00:09:48.919><c> anybody</c><00:09:49.100><c> wants</c><00:09:49.320><c> to</c><00:09:49.480><c> take</c><00:09:49.620><c> a</c><00:09:49.759><c> copy</c><00:09:49.919><c> of</c><00:09:50.019><c> that,</c>

00:09:50.460 --> 00:09:51.159
we're<00:09:50.559><c> happy</c><00:09:50.759><c> afterwards.</c>

00:09:51.299 --> 00:09:55.299
It's<00:09:51.480><c> very</c><00:09:51.759><c> nice</c><00:09:51.980><c> to</c><00:09:52.159><c> put</c><00:09:52.279><c> those</c><00:09:52.940><c> in</c><00:09:53.700><c> the</c><00:09:54.600><c> margin</c><00:09:54.779><c> of</c><00:09:54.960><c> your</c><00:09:55.100><c> Bible</c>

00:09:55.299 --> 00:09:57.179
or<00:09:55.480><c> down</c><00:09:55.639><c> the</c><00:09:55.840><c> bottom</c><00:09:56.000><c> where</c><00:09:56.120><c> you've</c><00:09:56.220><c> got</c><00:09:56.340><c> a</c><00:09:56.500><c> wider</c><00:09:56.720><c> space</c>

00:09:57.179 --> 00:09:58.899
and<00:09:57.580><c> just</c><00:09:57.879><c> by</c><00:09:58.220><c> glancing</c><00:09:58.500><c> at</c><00:09:58.740><c> that,</c>

00:09:59.059 --> 00:10:00.879
you<00:09:59.159><c> can</c><00:09:59.460><c> see,</c><00:10:00.179><c> brothers</c><00:10:00.259><c> and</c><00:10:00.519><c> sisters,</c>

00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:02.379
the<00:10:01.480><c> lesson</c><00:10:01.779><c> that</c><00:10:01.980><c> is</c><00:10:02.200><c> there.</c>

00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:03.980
Just<00:10:02.580><c> very</c><00:10:02.919><c> quickly</c><00:10:03.220><c> then</c><00:10:03.559><c> again,</c>

00:10:04.299 --> 00:10:06.580
it's<00:10:04.519><c> a</c><00:10:04.659><c> nobleman.</c>

00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:08.659
He's<00:10:07.320><c> the</c><00:10:07.799><c> king</c><00:10:08.039><c> of</c><00:10:08.200><c> a</c><00:10:08.379><c> kingdom.</c>

00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:11.399
He's<00:10:09.399><c> talking</c><00:10:09.659><c> to</c><00:10:10.139><c> the</c><00:10:10.320><c> multitude.</c>

00:10:12.080 --> 00:10:14.600
Everybody<00:10:12.419><c> who</c><00:10:12.720><c> wants</c><00:10:12.879><c> it</c><00:10:13.059><c> can</c><00:10:13.220><c> have</c><00:10:13.379><c> the</c><00:10:13.700><c> truth.</c>

00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:17.340
It's<00:10:15.539><c> given</c><00:10:15.700><c> to</c><00:10:15.940><c> all</c><00:10:16.179><c> equally.</c>

00:10:17.940 --> 00:10:20.860
But<00:10:18.159><c> not</c><00:10:18.340><c> all</c><00:10:18.500><c> of</c><00:10:18.600><c> us</c><00:10:19.039><c> do</c><00:10:19.399><c> what</c><00:10:19.600><c> we</c><00:10:19.799><c> ought</c><00:10:19.960><c> to</c><00:10:20.139><c> do</c><00:10:20.240><c> with</c><00:10:20.419><c> the</c><00:10:20.639><c> truth.</c>

00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:22.620
And<00:10:21.120><c> so</c><00:10:21.340><c> there</c><00:10:21.559><c> are</c><00:10:21.759><c> differing</c><00:10:22.139><c> rewards.</c>

00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:24.259
Some<00:10:23.299><c> do</c><00:10:23.519><c> well</c><00:10:23.740><c> with</c><00:10:23.919><c> it,</c>

00:10:24.259 --> 00:10:25.700
some<00:10:24.480><c> do</c><00:10:24.919><c> not</c><00:10:25.179><c> so</c><00:10:25.500><c> well,</c>

00:10:25.820 --> 00:10:27.320
and<00:10:25.879><c> some</c><00:10:26.080><c> do</c><00:10:26.320><c> nothing.</c>

00:10:28.620 --> 00:10:30.200
But<00:10:28.759><c> here</c><00:10:28.899><c> we've</c><00:10:29.200><c> got</c><00:10:29.379><c> a</c><00:10:29.700><c> householder.</c>

00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:32.039
This<00:10:30.340><c> is</c><00:10:30.580><c> now</c><00:10:30.879><c> speaking</c><00:10:31.179><c> more</c><00:10:31.600><c> particularly</c>

00:10:32.039 --> 00:10:34.840
of<00:10:32.720><c> those</c><00:10:33.179><c> of</c><00:10:33.600><c> the</c><00:10:33.879><c> household.</c>

00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:36.220
And<00:10:35.580><c> we've</c><00:10:35.919><c> got,</c>

00:10:36.440 --> 00:10:38.139
not<00:10:36.779><c> that</c><00:10:36.899><c> that's</c><00:10:37.100><c> not</c><00:10:37.279><c> the</c><00:10:37.440><c> householder</c><00:10:37.860><c> of</c><00:10:37.980><c> course,</c>

00:10:38.179 --> 00:10:39.559
but<00:10:38.299><c> in</c><00:10:38.460><c> a</c><00:10:38.620><c> different</c><00:10:38.899><c> sense</c><00:10:39.299><c> now</c>

00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:42.899
because<00:10:39.820><c> God's</c><00:10:40.120><c> looking</c><00:10:40.360><c> at</c><00:10:40.539><c> the</c><00:10:40.679><c> way</c><00:10:40.820><c> we</c><00:10:41.299><c> operate</c><00:10:41.600><c> in</c><00:10:41.759><c> the</c><00:10:41.960><c> Ecclesia.</c>

00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:44.639
And<00:10:43.399><c> so</c><00:10:43.539><c> here</c><00:10:43.700><c> is</c><00:10:43.879><c> the</c><00:10:44.059><c> Ecclesia</c>

00:10:44.639 --> 00:10:46.120
made<00:10:45.139><c> up</c><00:10:45.279><c> of</c><00:10:45.399><c> His</c><00:10:45.620><c> disciples</c>

00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:47.620
and<00:10:46.440><c> they've</c><00:10:46.840><c> got</c><00:10:47.100><c> talents.</c>

00:10:47.919 --> 00:10:49.779
There<00:10:48.059><c> are</c><00:10:48.159><c> people</c><00:10:48.419><c> with</c><00:10:48.779><c> talents.</c>

00:10:50.259 --> 00:10:52.379
We<00:10:50.539><c> use</c><00:10:50.740><c> that</c><00:10:51.000><c> word</c><00:10:51.120><c> of</c><00:10:51.340><c> course</c><00:10:51.519><c> in</c><00:10:51.779><c> that</c><00:10:52.080><c> sense.</c>

00:10:52.379 --> 00:10:54.879
He's<00:10:52.759><c> a</c><00:10:52.799><c> very</c><00:10:53.200><c> talented</c><00:10:53.620><c> person.</c>

00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:57.220
And<00:10:55.559><c> some</c><00:10:55.840><c> people</c><00:10:56.059><c> have</c><00:10:56.240><c> got</c><00:10:56.419><c> these</c><00:10:56.799><c> talents</c>

00:10:57.220 --> 00:10:59.399
and<00:10:57.740><c> they</c><00:10:57.919><c> haven't</c><00:10:58.000><c> got</c><00:10:58.120><c> them</c><00:10:58.259><c> all</c><00:10:58.419><c> equally.</c>

00:10:59.440 --> 00:11:01.399
Some<00:10:59.659><c> people</c><00:10:59.940><c> are</c><00:11:00.179><c> very</c><00:11:00.419><c> adept</c><00:11:00.700><c> at</c><00:11:00.899><c> some</c><00:11:01.139><c> things</c>

00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:02.460
and<00:11:01.539><c> some</c><00:11:01.759><c> people</c><00:11:01.960><c> are</c><00:11:02.159><c> not.</c>

00:11:02.759 --> 00:11:03.740
However,

00:11:04.679 --> 00:11:05.960
if<00:11:04.779><c> we</c><00:11:05.019><c> use</c><00:11:05.320><c> our</c><00:11:05.600><c> abilities,</c>

00:11:06.179 --> 00:11:09.059
our<00:11:06.399><c> talents</c><00:11:06.639><c> are</c><00:11:06.860><c> the</c><00:11:07.039><c> best</c><00:11:07.720><c> of</c><00:11:08.039><c> our</c><00:11:08.320><c> endeavours,</c>

00:11:09.419 --> 00:11:11.559
our<00:11:09.559><c> rewards</c><00:11:09.840><c> will</c><00:11:10.039><c> be</c><00:11:10.200><c> the</c><00:11:10.519><c> same.</c>

00:11:11.740 --> 00:11:12.779
So<00:11:11.940><c> we</c><00:11:12.000><c> don't</c><00:11:12.220><c> get</c><00:11:12.440><c> rewarded</c>

00:11:12.779 --> 00:11:14.779
because<00:11:13.259><c> we</c><00:11:13.519><c> do</c><00:11:14.100><c> more</c><00:11:14.500><c> work</c>

00:11:14.779 --> 00:11:15.200
than<00:11:14.980><c> others.</c>

00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:17.340
It<00:11:15.940><c> depends</c><00:11:16.279><c> on</c><00:11:16.500><c> how</c><00:11:16.720><c> we</c><00:11:16.879><c> do</c><00:11:17.059><c> it</c>

00:11:17.340 --> 00:11:19.399
and<00:11:17.460><c> with</c><00:11:17.679><c> what</c><00:11:17.919><c> spirit</c><00:11:18.220><c> it</c><00:11:18.379><c> is</c><00:11:18.600><c> done.</c>

00:11:19.519 --> 00:11:21.539
So<00:11:20.039><c> that's</c><00:11:20.419><c> basically,</c><00:11:21.019><c> brothers</c><00:11:21.159><c> and</c><00:11:21.360><c> sisters,</c>

00:11:21.740 --> 00:11:22.659
I<00:11:21.779><c> believe,</c>

00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:24.720
the<00:11:23.100><c> best</c><00:11:23.379><c> way</c><00:11:23.620><c> to</c><00:11:23.840><c> see</c><00:11:24.200><c> the</c><00:11:24.399><c> lesson</c>

00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:27.220

00:17:44.400 --> 00:17:45.819
As<00:17:44.559><c> ever</c><00:17:44.700><c> there's</c><00:17:44.920><c> a</c><00:17:45.019><c> verse</c><00:17:45.240><c> quoted</c><00:17:45.480><c> out</c><00:17:45.660><c> of</c>

00:17:45.819 --> 00:17:47.720
context,<00:17:46.279><c> that</c><00:17:46.299><c> one</c><00:17:46.480><c> is.</c><00:17:46.700><c> You</c><00:17:46.700><c> know,</c><00:17:47.319><c> brethren</c><00:17:47.500><c> say,</c>

00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:49.920
oh<00:17:47.920><c> look,</c><00:17:48.660><c> I</c><00:17:48.759><c> know</c><00:17:49.000><c> that</c><00:17:49.200><c> Christ</c><00:17:49.400><c> is</c><00:17:49.700><c> coming,</c>

00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:52.420
but<00:17:50.319><c> really</c><00:17:51.259><c> my</c><00:17:51.440><c> house</c><00:17:51.660><c> is</c><00:17:51.799><c> falling</c><00:17:52.119><c> down.</c>

00:17:52.539 --> 00:17:53.740
I<00:17:52.640><c> really</c><00:17:52.900><c> ought</c><00:17:53.019><c> to</c><00:17:53.079><c> buy</c><00:17:53.359><c> a</c><00:17:53.480><c> new</c><00:17:53.640><c> one.</c>

00:17:53.779 --> 00:17:56.000
And<00:17:53.859><c> we've</c><00:17:54.019><c> got</c><00:17:54.059><c> to</c><00:17:54.279><c> occupy</c><00:17:54.619><c> till</c><00:17:54.819><c> he</c><00:17:55.000><c> comes.</c>

00:17:56.240 --> 00:17:58.680
It's<00:17:56.420><c> got</c><00:17:56.539><c> nothing</c><00:17:56.799><c> to</c><00:17:56.960><c> do</c><00:17:57.059><c> with</c><00:17:57.180><c> that</c><00:17:57.339><c> sort</c><00:17:57.579><c> of</c><00:17:57.759><c> occupy.</c>

00:17:59.980 --> 00:18:02.460
Nothing<00:18:00.420><c> whatever</c><00:18:00.819><c> to</c><00:18:01.000><c> do</c><00:18:01.160><c> with</c><00:18:01.339><c> that.</c>

00:18:02.619 --> 00:18:03.559
Actually,

00:18:04.299 --> 00:18:05.900
a<00:18:04.519><c> related</c><00:18:04.819><c> word</c><00:18:05.359><c> is</c><00:18:05.700><c> in</c>

00:18:07.619 --> 00:18:09.700
at<00:18:07.960><c> the</c><00:18:08.039><c> end</c><00:18:08.180><c> of</c><00:18:08.279><c> the</c><00:18:08.440><c> verse,</c><00:18:09.140><c> what</c><00:18:09.319><c> every</c><00:18:09.539><c> man</c>

00:18:09.700 --> 00:18:12.180
had<00:18:09.900><c> gained</c><00:18:10.240><c> by</c><00:18:10.599><c> trading.</c><00:18:11.299><c> That</c><00:18:11.619><c> is</c>

00:18:12.180 --> 00:18:13.859
a<00:18:12.259><c> word</c><00:18:12.400><c> in</c><00:18:12.539><c> the</c><00:18:12.740><c> Greek</c><00:18:12.920><c> which</c><00:18:13.119><c> is</c><00:18:13.500><c> related</c>

00:18:13.859 --> 00:18:15.839

to<00:18:16.200><c> trade.</c>

00:18:17.539 --> 00:18:19.099
So<00:18:18.000><c> it's</c><00:18:18.079><c> not</c><00:18:18.400><c> talking</c><00:18:18.740><c> about</c>

00:18:19.099 --> 00:18:21.119

00:18:23.660 --> 00:18:24.779
That's<00:18:23.880><c> often</c><00:18:24.119><c> how</c><00:18:24.319><c> that</c><00:18:24.559><c> verse</c>

00:18:28.660 --> 00:18:30.700
It's<00:18:28.940><c> a</c><00:18:29.000><c> question,</c><00:18:29.500><c> brethren</c><00:18:29.799><c> and</c><00:18:30.000><c> sisters,</c><00:18:30.380><c> of</c><00:18:30.500><c> filling</c>

00:18:35.119 --> 00:18:36.420
That's<00:18:35.380><c> what</c><00:18:35.460><c> he</c><00:18:35.579><c> meant</c><00:18:35.859><c> by</c>

00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:40.599
As<00:18:38.519><c> I</c><00:18:38.700><c> say,</c><00:18:38.839><c> often</c><00:18:39.119><c> the</c><00:18:39.339><c> verse</c><00:18:39.559><c> is</c><00:18:39.799><c> quoted</c><00:18:40.099><c> as</c><00:18:40.480><c> if</c>

00:18:40.599 --> 00:18:42.579
it<00:18:40.759><c> almost</c><00:18:41.099><c> means,</c><00:18:41.420><c> oh</c><00:18:41.720><c> you</c><00:18:41.759><c> know,</c><00:18:42.220><c> we've</c><00:18:42.359><c> just</c><00:18:42.480><c> got</c>

00:18:44.539 --> 00:18:46.460
We've<00:18:45.039><c> got</c><00:18:45.119><c> to</c><00:18:45.359><c> fill</c><00:18:45.359><c> it</c><00:18:45.500><c> in</c><00:18:45.839><c> profitably</c>

00:18:46.460 --> 00:18:48.680
and<00:18:46.940><c> profitably</c><00:18:47.480><c> means</c><00:18:48.059><c> profitably</c>

00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:49.720
for<00:18:48.839><c> the</c><00:18:49.140><c> truth</c>

00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:51.880
and<00:18:50.539><c> not</c><00:18:50.799><c> for</c><00:18:50.940><c> our</c><00:18:51.140><c> own</c><00:18:51.440><c> benefit.</c>

00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:54.339
So<00:18:52.460><c> that's</c><00:18:52.619><c> what</c><00:18:52.740><c> they</c><00:18:52.940><c> were</c><00:18:53.039><c> to</c><00:18:53.240><c> do.</c>

00:18:54.539 --> 00:18:56.720
But<00:18:54.619><c> his</c><00:18:54.880><c> citizens</c><00:18:55.339><c> hated</c><00:18:55.720><c> him.</c>

00:18:57.039 --> 00:18:58.099
Citizens.

00:18:58.500 --> 00:18:59.940
Now<00:18:58.619><c> note</c><00:18:58.759><c> that</c>

00:19:15.500 --> 00:19:16.500
They're<00:19:15.579><c> not</c><00:19:15.720><c> only</c><00:19:15.940><c> his</c><00:19:16.220><c> slaves</c>

00:19:21.299 --> 00:19:23.559
Well<00:19:21.599><c> they're</c><00:19:21.779><c> the</c><00:19:21.900><c> Jewish</c><00:19:22.140><c> people,</c><00:19:22.599><c> aren't</c><00:19:22.640><c> they?</c>
