00:07:10.420 --> 00:07:14.379
As<00:07:10.639><c> that</c><00:07:10.860><c> word</c><00:07:11.160><c> believeth,</c><00:07:11.639><c> of</c><00:07:11.879><c> course,</c><00:07:12.220><c> is</c><00:07:12.339><c> only</c><00:07:13.160><c> another</c><00:07:13.480><c> translation</c><00:07:14.120><c> of</c>

00:07:14.379 --> 00:07:17.879
the<00:07:14.860><c> same</c><00:07:15.120><c> Greek</c><00:07:15.399><c> word,</c><00:07:15.680><c> which</c><00:07:15.980><c> basically</c><00:07:16.519><c> means</c><00:07:16.879><c> faith.</c>

00:07:17.980 --> 00:07:22.560
So<00:07:18.519><c> the</c><00:07:18.720><c> gospel</c><00:07:19.259><c> is</c><00:07:19.740><c> God's</c><00:07:20.259><c> power</c><00:07:20.800><c> to</c><00:07:21.160><c> everyone</c><00:07:21.579><c> that's</c><00:07:21.860><c> got</c><00:07:22.139><c> faith.</c>

00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:26.779
Well,<00:07:23.720><c> if</c><00:07:23.939><c> this</c><00:07:24.220><c> Ecclesia</c><00:07:24.600><c> in</c><00:07:24.860><c> Rome</c><00:07:25.199><c> had</c><00:07:25.459><c> a</c><00:07:25.579><c> reputation</c><00:07:26.180><c> throughout</c><00:07:26.519><c> the</c>

00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:33.420
Obviously,<00:07:31.100><c> because</c><00:07:31.319><c> it's</c><00:07:31.579><c> generated</c><00:07:32.000><c> by</c><00:07:32.279><c> no</c><00:07:32.540><c> other.</c>

00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:42.920

00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:53.819
So<00:07:50.480><c> firstly,</c><00:07:51.120><c> he</c><00:07:51.199><c> says,</c><00:07:51.480><c> I</c><00:07:51.519><c> thank</c><00:07:51.819><c> God</c><00:07:52.199><c> for</c><00:07:52.620><c> your</c><00:07:53.000><c> faith,</c><00:07:53.399><c> which</c><00:07:53.540><c> is</c>

Would<00:19:43.839><c> you</c><00:19:44.079><c> call</c><00:19:44.339><c> upon</c><00:19:44.680><c> God</c><00:19:44.920><c> as</c><00:19:45.119><c> your</c><00:19:45.339><c> witness</c>

00:19:51.140 --> 00:19:52.759
I<00:19:51.700><c> couldn't.</c>

00:19:53.440 --> 00:19:56.079
And<00:19:53.779><c> I</c><00:19:53.960><c> don't</c><00:19:54.180><c> know</c><00:19:54.380><c> how</c><00:19:54.599><c> many</c><00:19:54.799><c> more</c><00:19:55.059><c> could.</c>

00:19:57.000 --> 00:19:59.440
But<00:19:57.460><c> here's</c><00:19:57.859><c> a</c><00:19:58.000><c> man</c><00:19:58.160><c> that</c><00:19:58.460><c> calls</c><00:19:58.640><c> God</c><00:19:58.980><c> to</c><00:19:59.180><c> witness</c>

00:19:59.440 --> 00:20:01.640
that<00:19:59.619><c> he</c><00:19:59.799><c> prayed</c><00:20:00.000><c> for</c><00:20:00.220><c> the</c><00:20:00.440><c> Romans,</c><00:20:00.960><c> the</c><00:20:01.180><c> Ephesians,</c>

00:20:06.019 --> 00:20:08.779
And<00:20:06.160><c> in</c><00:20:06.299><c> nearly</c><00:20:06.519><c> every</c><00:20:07.140><c> epistle</c><00:20:07.559><c> that</c><00:20:07.980><c> fact</c><00:20:08.200><c> is</c><00:20:08.420><c> mentioned.</c>

00:20:09.019 --> 00:20:11.299
And<00:20:09.160><c> he</c><00:20:09.380><c> calls</c><00:20:09.619><c> upon</c><00:20:09.940><c> God</c><00:20:10.220><c> here</c><00:20:10.400><c> to</c><00:20:10.619><c> witness</c><00:20:10.880><c> the</c><00:20:11.140><c> fact</c>

00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:18.140
Now<00:20:15.859><c> what</c><00:20:16.039><c> an</c><00:20:16.359><c> incredible</c><00:20:16.779><c> man</c><00:20:17.019><c> he</c><00:20:17.299><c> was.</c>

00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:19.599
What<00:20:18.359><c> an</c><00:20:18.680><c> incredible</c><00:20:19.059><c> man</c><00:20:19.299><c> he</c><00:20:19.440><c> was.</c>

00:20:19.859 --> 00:20:21.319
And<00:20:20.019><c> I</c><00:20:20.119><c> don't</c><00:20:20.319><c> believe,</c><00:20:20.859><c> brothers</c><00:20:20.859><c> and</c><00:20:21.039><c> sisters,</c>

00:20:21.400 --> 00:20:23.000
that<00:20:21.619><c> Paul</c><00:20:21.819><c> was</c><00:20:22.019><c> such</c><00:20:22.299><c> a</c><00:20:22.440><c> hypocrite</c>

00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:25.180
that<00:20:23.240><c> he</c><00:20:23.299><c> could</c><00:20:23.579><c> call</c><00:20:23.839><c> down</c><00:20:24.200><c> God's</c><00:20:24.619><c> witness</c>

00:20:25.180 --> 00:20:27.799
upon<00:20:25.680><c> perhaps</c><00:20:26.059><c> just</c><00:20:26.400><c> a</c><00:20:26.579><c> passing</c><00:20:26.940><c> thought</c><00:20:27.240><c> for</c><00:20:27.440><c> the</c><00:20:27.599><c> Romans</c>

00:20:27.799 --> 00:20:28.400
every<00:20:28.099><c> now</c><00:20:28.279><c> and</c><00:20:28.339><c> then.</c>

00:20:28.400 --> 00:20:30.299
Oh,<00:20:28.559><c> I</c><00:20:28.599><c> must</c><00:20:28.839><c> pray</c><00:20:29.079><c> for</c><00:20:29.220><c> the</c><00:20:29.400><c> Romans.</c>

00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:32.180
He<00:20:30.880><c> wouldn't</c><00:20:31.200><c> dare.</c>

00:20:32.299 --> 00:20:34.440
Paul's<00:20:32.660><c> attitude</c><00:20:33.160><c> and</c><00:20:33.559><c> understanding</c><00:20:34.039><c> of</c><00:20:34.220><c> God</c>

00:20:34.440 --> 00:20:35.880
was<00:20:34.700><c> far</c><00:20:34.960><c> greater</c><00:20:35.259><c> than</c><00:20:35.500><c> that.</c>

00:20:36.299 --> 00:20:38.220
And<00:20:36.440><c> God's</c><00:20:36.799><c> witness</c><00:20:37.000><c> could</c><00:20:37.220><c> only</c><00:20:37.460><c> be</c><00:20:37.740><c> called</c><00:20:37.940><c> down</c>

00:20:38.700 --> 00:20:43.480
upon<00:20:39.019><c> that</c><00:20:39.279><c> which</c><00:20:39.420><c> was</c><00:20:39.779><c> deep,</c><00:20:40.619><c> very</c><00:20:41.079><c> deep,</c><00:20:41.920><c> and</c><00:20:42.299><c> very</c><00:20:42.599><c> genuine.</c>

00:20:44.119 --> 00:20:46.460
Now<00:20:44.380><c> we</c><00:20:44.440><c> have</c><00:20:44.680><c> a</c><00:20:44.900><c> marvelous</c><00:20:45.299><c> example</c><00:20:45.839><c> here.</c>

00:20:46.920 --> 00:20:49.480
And<00:20:47.059><c> the</c><00:20:47.279><c> Romans</c><00:20:47.480><c> were</c><00:20:47.680><c> left</c><00:20:47.880><c> to</c><00:20:48.059><c> think</c><00:20:48.259><c> about</c><00:20:48.579><c> that.</c>

00:20:49.940 --> 00:20:51.859
Well<00:20:50.420><c> then,</c><00:20:50.720><c> Paul,</c>

00:20:52.740 --> 00:20:53.839
if<00:20:52.880><c> that's</c><00:20:53.119><c> how</c><00:20:53.319><c> you</c><00:20:53.559><c> feel,</c>

00:20:53.960 --> 00:20:56.240
why<00:20:54.200><c> haven't</c><00:20:54.400><c> you</c><00:20:54.539><c> come</c><00:20:54.720><c> and</c><00:20:54.960><c> seen</c><00:20:55.059><c> us?</c>

00:20:56.460 --> 00:20:58.119

00:21:02.420 --> 00:21:04.819
I<00:21:02.640><c> might</c><00:21:02.859><c> have</c><00:21:03.119><c> a</c><00:21:03.279><c> prosperous</c><00:21:03.680><c> journey</c>

00:21:09.400 --> 00:21:12.180
That's<00:21:09.799><c> why</c><00:21:09.980><c> he</c><00:21:10.119><c> hadn't</c><00:21:10.400><c> been,</c><00:21:10.819><c> brothers</c><00:21:10.920><c> and</c><00:21:11.079><c> sisters.</c>

00:21:12.259 --> 00:21:14.319
It<00:21:12.460><c> wasn't</c><00:21:12.700><c> as</c><00:21:12.900><c> if</c><00:21:12.920><c> he</c><00:21:13.039><c> didn't</c><00:21:13.299><c> want</c><00:21:13.579><c> it.</c>

00:21:14.700 --> 00:21:17.460

00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:20.119
He<00:21:19.000><c> never</c><00:21:19.339><c> moved</c><00:21:19.859><c> away</c>

00:21:20.599 --> 00:21:23.079

00:21:32.900 --> 00:21:34.599
It<00:21:33.099><c> is</c><00:21:33.519><c> God</c>

00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:39.039
because<00:21:37.460><c> he's</c><00:21:37.799><c> demanded</c><00:21:38.160><c> of</c><00:21:38.480><c> me</c>

00:21:39.039 --> 00:21:41.079

00:21:41.220 --> 00:21:43.500
God<00:21:41.740><c> is</c><00:21:42.200><c> the</c><00:21:42.380><c> one,</c><00:21:42.680><c> brothers</c><00:21:42.759><c> and</c><00:21:43.000><c> sisters,</c>

00:21:43.940 --> 00:21:45.180
is<00:21:44.200><c> the</c><00:21:44.380><c> reason</c><00:21:44.660><c> he</c><00:21:44.960><c> gave</c>

00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:50.160
Wouldn't<00:21:48.880><c> it</c><00:21:48.960><c> be</c><00:21:49.180><c> wonderful</c><00:21:49.519><c> if</c><00:21:49.700><c> we</c><00:21:49.819><c> could</c><00:21:49.960><c> say</c>

00:21:50.160 --> 00:21:53.319
that<00:21:50.359><c> everywhere</c><00:21:50.619><c> we</c><00:21:50.920><c> went</c><00:21:51.079><c> was</c><00:21:51.259><c> by</c><00:21:51.519><c> the</c><00:21:52.119><c> will</c><00:21:52.240><c> of</c><00:21:52.539><c> God.</c>

00:21:54.539 --> 00:21:56.180
So<00:21:54.700><c> remember</c><00:21:54.960><c> a</c><00:21:55.380><c> brother</c><00:21:55.559><c> once</c><00:21:55.819><c> telling</c><00:21:56.019><c> me</c>

00:22:05.079 --> 00:22:05.960
A<00:22:05.440><c> holiday?</c>

00:22:06.420 --> 00:22:07.680
Well,<00:22:06.519><c> you</c><00:22:06.599><c> don't</c><00:22:06.720><c> have</c><00:22:06.900><c> to</c><00:22:06.980><c> attend</c><00:22:07.220><c> the</c><00:22:07.440><c> meetings.</c>

00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:10.960
Is<00:22:08.160><c> that</c><00:22:08.460><c> what</c><00:22:08.640><c> we</c><00:22:08.880><c> call</c><00:22:09.039><c> a</c><00:22:09.259><c> holiday,</c><00:22:09.660><c> brothers</c><00:22:09.819><c> and</c><00:22:10.059><c> sisters?</c>

00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:13.140
No,<00:22:12.160><c> that's</c><00:22:12.339><c> not</c><00:22:12.579><c> a</c><00:22:12.759><c> holiday.</c>

00:22:13.140 --> 00:22:15.660
That's<00:22:13.920><c> just</c><00:22:14.240><c> plain</c><00:22:14.500><c> laziness.</c>

00:22:15.900 --> 00:22:19.599
And<00:22:16.039><c> the</c><00:22:16.140><c> result</c><00:22:16.420><c> of</c><00:22:16.579><c> that</c><00:22:16.680><c> will</c><00:22:16.900><c> not</c><00:22:17.140><c> be</c><00:22:17.539><c> recreation</c><00:22:18.319><c> at</c><00:22:18.720><c> all.</c>

00:22:19.819 --> 00:22:21.700
There's<00:22:19.940><c> only</c><00:22:20.220><c> one</c><00:22:20.579><c> creator,</c>

00:22:21.779 --> 00:22:22.779
and<00:22:21.880><c> that's</c><00:22:22.119><c> in</c><00:22:22.299><c> the</c><00:22:22.420><c> Bible.</c>

00:22:23.160 --> 00:22:24.779
And<00:22:23.299><c> when</c><00:22:23.460><c> we</c><00:22:23.640><c> immerse</c><00:22:24.059><c> our</c><00:22:24.299><c> minds</c><00:22:24.460><c> in</c><00:22:24.660><c> there,</c>

00:22:24.779 --> 00:22:27.740
there's<00:22:25.119><c> a</c><00:22:25.460><c> holiday,</c><00:22:25.859><c> if</c><00:22:26.200><c> you</c><00:22:26.359><c> want</c><00:22:26.480><c> to</c><00:22:26.619><c> use</c><00:22:26.779><c> that</c><00:22:27.039><c> term,</c>

00:22:27.779 --> 00:22:28.859
in<00:22:28.059><c> this</c><00:22:28.259><c> sense</c><00:22:28.440><c> of</c><00:22:28.619><c> the</c><00:22:28.740><c> word,</c>

00:22:28.920 --> 00:22:31.220
that<00:22:29.019><c> it</c><00:22:29.400><c> recreates</c><00:22:30.359><c> the</c><00:22:30.640><c> freshness,</c>

00:22:31.599 --> 00:22:33.359
the<00:22:31.900><c> vibrance</c><00:22:32.299><c> of</c><00:22:32.460><c> the</c><00:22:32.660><c> truth</c><00:22:32.779><c> in</c><00:22:32.980><c> our</c><00:22:33.180><c> mind,</c>

00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:36.119
which<00:22:33.819><c> can</c><00:22:34.079><c> surmount</c><00:22:34.440><c> all</c><00:22:34.960><c> problems</c>

00:22:36.079 --> 00:22:38.900
and<00:22:36.319><c> enable</c><00:22:36.579><c> us</c><00:22:36.819><c> to</c><00:22:37.119><c> continue</c><00:22:37.299><c> in</c><00:22:37.539><c> life</c><00:22:37.740><c> despite</c><00:22:38.299><c> difficulties.</c>

00:22:39.359 --> 00:22:41.160
Paul<00:22:39.759><c> never</c><00:22:40.380><c> went</c><00:22:40.599><c> on</c><00:22:40.779><c> a</c><00:22:40.900><c> holiday.</c>

00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:44.839
He<00:22:41.599><c> went</c><00:22:41.940><c> everywhere</c><00:22:42.559><c> by</c><00:22:42.900><c> the</c><00:22:43.240><c> will</c><00:22:43.460><c> of</c><00:22:43.839><c> God.</c>

00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:47.319
And<00:22:45.059><c> if</c><00:22:45.240><c> the</c><00:22:45.400><c> Romans</c><00:22:45.640><c> felt</c><00:22:45.980><c> that</c><00:22:46.180><c> his</c><00:22:46.359><c> presence</c><00:22:46.680><c> in</c><00:22:46.920><c> Rome</c>

00:22:47.319 --> 00:22:50.200
gave<00:22:47.779><c> light</c><00:22:48.140><c> to</c><00:22:48.299><c> his</c><00:22:48.519><c> witness</c><00:22:48.799><c> that</c><00:22:49.039><c> he</c><00:22:49.539><c> prayed</c><00:22:49.799><c> for</c><00:22:49.980><c> them</c><00:22:50.039><c> in</c>

00:22:50.200 --> 00:22:50.640
his<00:22:50.440><c> spirit,</c>

00:22:50.960 --> 00:22:52.339
then<00:22:51.059><c> they've</c><00:22:51.279><c> got</c><00:22:51.380><c> to</c><00:22:51.579><c> consider</c><00:22:51.819><c> this</c><00:22:52.140><c> fact</c>

00:22:52.339 --> 00:22:54.640
that<00:22:52.579><c> Paul</c><00:22:53.160><c> could</c><00:22:53.640><c> lay</c><00:22:53.960><c> claim</c><00:22:54.160><c> to</c><00:22:54.319><c> the</c><00:22:54.480><c> fact</c>

00:22:54.640 --> 00:22:57.559
in<00:22:54.819><c> all</c><00:22:55.019><c> of</c><00:22:55.200><c> his</c><00:22:55.339><c> history</c><00:22:55.640><c> that</c><00:22:56.019><c> let</c><00:22:56.240><c> them</c><00:22:56.640><c> search</c><00:22:56.859><c> if</c><00:22:56.980><c> they</c><00:22:57.200><c> wanted</c><00:22:57.339><c> to</c>

00:22:57.559 --> 00:22:58.539
wherever<00:22:57.859><c> Paul</c><00:22:58.220><c> went.</c>

00:22:58.759 --> 00:23:00.940
It<00:22:58.859><c> was</c><00:22:59.039><c> in</c><00:22:59.160><c> the</c><00:22:59.380><c> service</c><00:22:59.640><c> of</c><00:22:59.799><c> his</c><00:22:59.980><c> master.</c>

00:23:01.299 --> 00:23:02.960
A<00:23:01.420><c> wonderful</c><00:23:01.759><c> man,</c><00:23:02.220><c> brothers</c><00:23:02.319><c> and</c><00:23:02.519><c> sisters,</c>

00:23:03.160 --> 00:23:05.059
is<00:23:03.359><c> able</c><00:23:03.539><c> to</c><00:23:03.680><c> be</c><00:23:03.759><c> able</c><00:23:03.900><c> to</c><00:23:04.039><c> say</c><00:23:04.180><c> that.</c>

00:23:05.740 --> 00:23:07.660
And<00:23:05.920><c> of</c><00:23:06.119><c> course,</c><00:23:06.720><c> he</c><00:23:06.880><c> wanted</c><00:23:07.059><c> to</c><00:23:07.279><c> come</c><00:23:07.400><c> to</c><00:23:07.519><c> them</c>

00:23:07.660 --> 00:23:09.980
because<00:23:08.079><c> he</c><00:23:08.240><c> says,</c><00:23:08.579><c> I</c><00:23:08.579><c> long</c><00:23:09.119><c> to</c><00:23:09.359><c> see</c><00:23:09.660><c> you.</c>

00:23:09.980 --> 00:23:12.960
Of<00:23:10.220><c> course</c><00:23:10.660><c> he</c><00:23:10.799><c> did,</c><00:23:11.819><c> because</c><00:23:12.019><c> he</c><00:23:12.160><c> loved</c><00:23:12.460><c> them.</c>

00:23:13.420 --> 00:23:17.700
And<00:23:13.500><c> that</c><00:23:13.680><c> he</c><00:23:13.759><c> may</c><00:23:14.220><c> impart</c><00:23:14.599><c> to</c><00:23:14.839><c> you</c><00:23:15.400><c> some</c><00:23:15.980><c> spiritual</c><00:23:16.779><c> gift.</c>

00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:21.670
Now,<00:23:19.099><c> Paul</c><00:23:19.339><c> had</c><00:23:19.599><c> the</c><00:23:20.900><c> power.</c>

00:23:21.839 --> 00:23:24.019
I<00:23:21.980><c> won't</c><00:23:22.180><c> say</c><00:23:22.400><c> ability,</c><00:23:23.099><c> but</c><00:23:23.259><c> it's</c><00:23:23.400><c> not</c><00:23:23.579><c> ability.</c>

00:23:24.500 --> 00:23:25.839
It's<00:23:24.740><c> power,</c><00:23:25.299><c> brothers</c><00:23:25.400><c> and</c><00:23:25.579><c> sisters.</c>

00:23:25.900 --> 00:23:29.200
He<00:23:26.059><c> had</c><00:23:26.259><c> the</c><00:23:26.619><c> power</c><00:23:26.960><c> to</c><00:23:27.420><c> impart</c><00:23:27.759><c> the</c><00:23:28.079><c> spirit</c><00:23:28.319><c> gifts.</c>

00:23:29.579 --> 00:23:30.920
He<00:23:29.799><c> told</c><00:23:29.960><c> Timothy</c><00:23:30.359><c> that.</c>

00:23:31.359 --> 00:23:33.059
He<00:23:31.599><c> laid</c><00:23:31.759><c> his</c><00:23:32.039><c> hands</c><00:23:32.339><c> upon</c><00:23:32.619><c> Timothy,</c>

00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:36.200
and<00:23:33.279><c> Timothy</c><00:23:33.619><c> received</c><00:23:34.099><c> from</c><00:23:34.279><c> Paul</c><00:23:34.519><c> the</c><00:23:34.700><c> gift</c><00:23:35.000><c> of</c><00:23:35.339><c> prophecy.</c>

00:23:36.680 --> 00:23:38.900
There<00:23:36.859><c> were</c><00:23:37.039><c> others</c><00:23:37.279><c> that</c><00:23:37.480><c> Paul</c><00:23:37.799><c> imparted</c><00:23:38.240><c> the</c><00:23:38.400><c> gift</c><00:23:38.579><c> to.</c>

00:23:38.900 --> 00:23:41.339
So<00:23:39.480><c> he</c><00:23:39.619><c> had</c><00:23:39.920><c> that</c><00:23:40.279><c> power.</c>

00:23:41.619 --> 00:23:43.119
But<00:23:41.720><c> I</c><00:23:41.839><c> don't</c><00:23:42.119><c> think</c><00:23:42.299><c> that's</c><00:23:42.599><c> the</c><00:23:42.740><c> only</c><00:23:42.940><c> thing</c>

00:23:43.119 --> 00:23:45.420
that<00:23:43.319><c> Paul</c><00:23:43.420><c> wants</c><00:23:43.700><c> to</c><00:23:43.859><c> come</c><00:23:43.980><c> to</c><00:23:44.119><c> Rome</c><00:23:44.279><c> to</c><00:23:44.539><c> convey.</c>

00:23:46.059 --> 00:23:47.119
There<00:23:46.140><c> were</c><00:23:46.359><c> other</c><00:23:46.579><c> of</c><00:23:46.680><c> the</c><00:23:46.859><c> apostles</c>

00:23:47.119 --> 00:23:49.240
who<00:23:47.319><c> could</c><00:23:47.559><c> convey</c><00:23:47.859><c> the</c><00:23:48.140><c> spirit</c><00:23:48.339><c> gifts.</c>

00:23:49.519 --> 00:23:51.720
The<00:23:49.779><c> spiritual</c><00:23:50.299><c> gift</c><00:23:50.579><c> that</c><00:23:50.819><c> Paul</c><00:23:51.000><c> would</c><00:23:51.160><c> want</c><00:23:51.279><c> to</c><00:23:51.420><c> give</c><00:23:51.519><c> them</c>

00:23:51.720 --> 00:23:53.579
would<00:23:51.920><c> be</c><00:23:52.119><c> the</c><00:23:52.400><c> understanding</c><00:23:52.839><c> of</c><00:23:53.079><c> the</c><00:23:53.279><c> word.</c>

00:23:53.700 --> 00:23:54.900
There's<00:23:53.900><c> no</c><00:23:54.059><c> doubt</c><00:23:54.200><c> about</c><00:23:54.500><c> that.</c>

00:23:55.400 --> 00:23:58.279
To<00:23:55.599><c> the</c><00:23:55.799><c> end</c><00:23:55.980><c> that</c><00:23:56.180><c> they</c><00:23:56.500><c> may</c><00:23:56.920><c> be</c><00:23:57.519><c> established.</c>

00:23:58.700 --> 00:24:01.220
And<00:23:58.839><c> this,</c><00:23:59.160><c> of</c><00:23:59.160><c> course,</c><00:23:59.319><c> was</c><00:23:59.480><c> what</c><00:23:59.680><c> he</c><00:23:59.859><c> would</c><00:24:00.059><c> want</c><00:24:00.240><c> them</c><00:24:00.420><c> to</c><00:24:00.759><c> understand.</c>

00:24:01.660 --> 00:24:03.660
But<00:24:01.779><c> you</c><00:24:01.880><c> know,</c><00:24:02.180><c> you</c><00:24:02.279><c> can</c><00:24:02.500><c> see</c><00:24:02.660><c> how</c><00:24:02.859><c> the</c><00:24:03.039><c> apostle</c><00:24:03.339><c> thinks</c>

00:24:03.660 --> 00:24:04.859

00:24:05.319 --> 00:24:07.420
Having<00:24:05.619><c> said</c><00:24:05.980><c> that,</c><00:24:06.619><c> immediately,</c><00:24:07.019><c> you</c><00:24:07.140><c> know,</c>

00:36:54.599 --> 00:36:56.659
You<00:36:54.679><c> know,</c><00:36:55.039><c> wonderful</c><00:36:55.480><c> when</c><00:36:55.619><c> you</c><00:36:55.760><c> think</c><00:36:55.960><c> about</c><00:36:56.219><c> it.</c>

00:37:18.980 --> 00:37:19.800
We<00:37:19.059><c> water</c><00:37:19.260><c> that</c><00:37:19.519><c> tree.</c>

00:37:20.960 --> 00:37:24.260

00:37:39.059 --> 00:37:40.820
And<00:37:39.239><c> the</c><00:37:39.420><c> motive</c><00:37:39.599><c> was</c><00:37:39.760><c> not</c><00:37:39.960><c> to</c><00:37:40.139><c> grow</c><00:37:40.239><c> the</c><00:37:40.519><c> tree,</c>

00:37:48.639 --> 00:37:50.860
Now,<00:37:48.880><c> that's</c><00:37:49.159><c> what</c><00:37:49.380><c> Paul</c><00:37:49.780><c> did.</c>

00:39:39.960 --> 00:39:42.780

00:59:35.260 --> 00:59:38.519
He's<00:59:35.699><c> telling</c><00:59:35.860><c> them</c><00:59:36.059><c> that</c><00:59:36.239><c> God</c><00:59:36.440><c> is</c><00:59:36.579><c> his</c><00:59:36.800><c> witness,</c><00:59:37.920><c> that</c><00:59:38.159><c> God</c>

00:59:40.920 --> 00:59:46.920
And<00:59:41.820><c> of</c><00:59:42.079><c> course,</c><00:59:43.119><c> if</c><00:59:43.320><c> that</c><00:59:43.519><c> is</c><00:59:43.780><c> true,</c><00:59:44.380><c> then</c><00:59:44.380><c> the</c><00:59:45.199><c> question</c><00:59:45.639><c> begs</c><00:59:46.079><c> itself,</c><00:59:46.559><c> why</c>

01:00:08.139 --> 01:00:10.699
He<01:00:08.500><c> says,</c><01:00:08.840><c> I</c><01:00:08.840><c> don't</c><01:00:09.119><c> want</c><01:00:09.280><c> you</c><01:00:09.380><c> to</c><01:00:09.460><c> be</c><01:00:09.659><c> ignorant,</c><01:00:10.139><c> brethren,</c><01:00:10.300><c> that</c><01:00:10.420><c> I</c>
