00:43:28.789 --> 00:43:29.730
Why?

00:43:29.869 --> 00:43:30.449
Because<00:43:30.110><c> you</c><00:43:30.250><c> see,</c>

That's<00:43:37.349><c> the</c><00:43:37.510><c> difference.</c>

00:43:37.789 --> 00:43:39.329
It's<00:43:37.889><c> that</c><00:43:38.170><c> word</c><00:43:38.670><c> righteousness</c>

00:50:09.150 --> 00:50:10.730
So<00:50:09.449><c> the</c><00:50:09.630><c> expression,</c><00:50:10.489><c> therefore,</c>

00:50:11.070 --> 00:50:12.090

00:50:40.949 --> 00:50:42.510
If<00:50:41.250><c> we</c><00:50:41.670><c> fail</c><00:50:42.070><c> to</c><00:50:42.250><c> do</c><00:50:42.329><c> that,</c>

00:50:42.650 --> 00:50:43.230

00:50:46.389 --> 00:50:47.329
Not<00:50:46.650><c> all</c><00:50:46.809><c> of</c><00:50:46.889><c> us</c><00:50:46.989><c> are</c><00:50:47.070><c> going</c><00:50:47.210><c> to</c>

00:50:51.949 --> 00:50:53.329
It's<00:50:52.150><c> an</c><00:50:52.269><c> enormous</c><00:50:53.030><c> thing.</c>

00:50:53.750 --> 00:50:55.769
Nobody<00:50:53.989><c> could</c><00:50:54.349><c> ever</c><00:50:54.730><c> extract</c><00:50:55.210><c> from</c><00:50:55.369><c> the</c><00:50:55.510><c> law</c>

00:50:58.869 --> 00:51:00.389
It's<00:50:59.010><c> very</c><00:50:59.349><c> difficult</c><00:50:59.730><c> to</c><00:50:59.929><c> do</c><00:51:00.070><c> that.</c>

00:51:00.769 --> 00:51:02.650
It's<00:51:00.989><c> all</c><00:51:01.250><c> tangled</c><00:51:01.530><c> up</c><00:51:01.789><c> in</c><00:51:01.969><c> legislation</c>

00:51:05.789 --> 00:51:07.030
And<00:51:05.929><c> we</c><00:51:06.090><c> would</c><00:51:06.369><c> sometimes,</c>

00:51:07.250 --> 00:51:08.289

00:51:08.289 --> 00:51:10.329
inadvertently,<00:51:09.590><c> unmeaningly,</c>

00:51:10.469 --> 00:51:12.130
we<00:51:10.570><c> would</c><00:51:10.829><c> sometimes</c><00:51:11.469><c> diminish</c>

00:51:12.130 --> 00:51:12.989
the<00:51:12.369><c> spirit</c><00:51:12.570><c> of</c><00:51:12.730><c> the</c><00:51:12.829><c> law.</c>

00:51:13.090 --> 00:51:14.969
Well,<00:51:13.190><c> we</c><00:51:13.329><c> didn't</c><00:51:13.550><c> mean</c><00:51:13.769><c> to,</c><00:51:13.989><c> really.</c>

00:51:15.150 --> 00:51:16.250
We<00:51:15.429><c> may</c><00:51:15.710><c> overlook</c><00:51:16.030><c> it</c>

00:51:16.250 --> 00:51:18.010
for<00:51:16.429><c> what</c><00:51:16.590><c> we</c><00:51:16.889><c> think</c><00:51:17.050><c> are</c><00:51:17.309><c> greater</c><00:51:17.510><c> things.</c>

Let's<00:55:56.769><c> pick</c><00:55:56.929><c> it</c><00:55:57.050><c> up</c><00:55:57.250><c> from</c><00:55:57.469><c> verse</c><00:55:58.030><c> 20</c>

verse<00:56:02.769><c> 20.</c>

00:56:04.530 --> 00:56:06.489
And<00:56:05.010><c> when</c><00:56:05.230><c> thy</c><00:56:05.530><c> son</c><00:56:05.789><c> asketh</c><00:56:06.349><c> thee</c>

00:56:06.489 --> 00:56:07.650

which<00:56:10.789><c> Yahweh</c><00:56:11.190><c> our</c><00:56:11.329><c> God</c>

00:56:11.489 --> 00:56:12.889
hath<00:56:11.650><c> commanded</c><00:56:12.150><c> you?</c>

00:56:14.070 --> 00:56:16.090
Then<00:56:14.369><c> thou</c><00:56:14.590><c> shalt</c><00:56:14.829><c> say</c><00:56:15.110><c> unto</c><00:56:15.309><c> thy</c><00:56:15.570><c> son,</c>

00:56:16.489 --> 00:56:19.010
We<00:56:16.730><c> were</c><00:56:16.989><c> Pharaoh's</c><00:56:17.510><c> bondmen</c><00:56:17.750><c> in</c><00:56:17.969><c> Egypt.</c>

00:56:19.849 --> 00:56:21.309
And<00:56:20.030><c> Yahweh</c><00:56:20.389><c> brought</c><00:56:20.630><c> us</c><00:56:20.750><c> out</c><00:56:20.949><c> of</c><00:56:21.030><c> Egypt</c>

00:56:21.309 --> 00:56:23.030
with<00:56:21.489><c> a</c><00:56:21.610><c> mighty</c><00:56:21.889><c> hand.</c>

00:56:24.030 --> 00:56:25.670
And<00:56:24.130><c> Yahweh</c><00:56:24.510><c> showed</c><00:56:24.789><c> signs</c><00:56:25.170><c> and</c><00:56:25.409><c> wonders,</c>

00:56:25.929 --> 00:56:27.150
great<00:56:26.070><c> and</c><00:56:26.329><c> sore</c><00:56:26.469><c> upon</c><00:56:26.710><c> Egypt,</c>

00:56:27.230 --> 00:56:27.829
upon<00:56:27.449><c> Pharaoh</c>

00:56:27.829 --> 00:56:28.989
and<00:56:27.989><c> upon</c><00:56:28.210><c> all</c><00:56:28.550><c> his</c><00:56:28.730><c> household</c>

before<00:56:29.510><c> our</c><00:56:29.789><c> eyes.</c>

00:56:31.630 --> 00:56:33.530
And<00:56:32.070><c> he</c><00:56:32.329><c> brought</c><00:56:32.530><c> us</c><00:56:32.690><c> out</c><00:56:32.909><c> from</c><00:56:33.190><c> thence</c>

00:56:33.550 --> 00:56:35.510
that<00:56:33.969><c> he</c><00:56:34.070><c> might</c><00:56:34.329><c> bring</c><00:56:34.510><c> us</c><00:56:34.750><c> in</c>

00:56:35.510 --> 00:56:36.670
to<00:56:35.949><c> give</c><00:56:36.130><c> us</c><00:56:36.349><c> the</c><00:56:36.429><c> land</c>

00:56:36.670 --> 00:56:38.670
which<00:56:36.849><c> he</c><00:56:37.010><c> swore</c><00:56:37.210><c> to</c><00:56:37.369><c> our</c><00:56:37.550><c> fathers.</c>

00:56:39.489 --> 00:56:40.590
And<00:56:39.650><c> Yahweh</c><00:56:39.909><c> commanded</c><00:56:40.329><c> us</c>

00:56:40.590 --> 00:56:41.849
to<00:56:40.750><c> do</c><00:56:40.889><c> all</c><00:56:41.130><c> these</c><00:56:41.369><c> statutes</c>

00:56:41.849 --> 00:56:43.309
and<00:56:42.170><c> to</c><00:56:42.349><c> fear</c><00:56:42.510><c> Yahweh</c><00:56:42.969><c> our</c><00:56:43.150><c> God</c>

00:56:43.309 --> 00:56:44.989
for<00:56:43.550><c> our</c><00:56:43.789><c> good</c><00:56:43.989><c> always,</c>

00:56:45.190 --> 00:56:46.530
that<00:56:45.230><c> he</c><00:56:45.349><c> might</c><00:56:45.610><c> preserve</c><00:56:45.989><c> us</c><00:56:46.250><c> alive</c>

00:56:46.530 --> 00:56:47.650
as<00:56:46.710><c> it</c><00:56:46.809><c> is</c><00:56:47.010><c> this</c><00:56:47.250><c> day.</c>

00:56:47.949 --> 00:56:49.989
And<00:56:48.070><c> it</c><00:56:48.250><c> shall</c><00:56:48.409><c> be</c><00:56:48.650><c> our</c><00:56:48.989><c> righteousness</c>

00:56:50.510 --> 00:56:51.590
if<00:56:50.989><c> we</c><00:56:51.230><c> observe</c>

00:56:51.590 --> 00:56:52.829
to<00:56:51.809><c> do</c><00:56:51.949><c> all</c><00:56:52.150><c> these</c><00:56:52.369><c> commandments</c>

00:56:52.829 --> 00:56:53.969
before<00:56:53.250><c> Yahweh</c><00:56:53.690><c> our</c><00:56:53.829><c> God</c>

00:56:53.969 --> 00:56:54.929
as<00:56:54.130><c> he</c><00:56:54.349><c> commanded</c><00:56:54.670><c> us.</c>

00:56:54.989 --> 00:56:56.050
Now,<00:56:55.210><c> what's</c><00:56:55.530><c> the</c><00:56:55.650><c> definition</c>

00:56:56.050 --> 00:56:57.190
of<00:56:56.250><c> our</c><00:56:56.489><c> righteousness,</c><00:56:57.170><c> brethren?</c>

00:56:57.329 --> 00:56:57.929
Just<00:56:57.469><c> listen</c><00:56:57.690><c> to</c><00:56:57.789><c> it.</c>

00:56:57.949 --> 00:56:58.769
Just<00:56:58.130><c> listen</c><00:56:58.369><c> to</c><00:56:58.489><c> it.</c>

00:56:58.849 --> 00:57:00.750
I'll<00:56:59.230><c> paraphrase</c><00:56:59.650><c> it</c><00:56:59.889><c> for</c><00:57:00.010><c> you.</c>

00:57:00.929 --> 00:57:02.570
So<00:57:01.150><c> you're</c><00:57:01.389><c> a</c><00:57:01.570><c> father</c>

00:57:02.929 --> 00:57:04.750
and<00:57:03.369><c> you've</c><00:57:03.590><c> got</c><00:57:03.750><c> a</c><00:57:03.829><c> son.</c>

00:57:05.590 --> 00:57:07.590
Now,<00:57:05.889><c> what</c><00:57:05.949><c> father</c><00:57:06.570><c> would</c><00:57:06.869><c> ever</c>

00:57:08.969 --> 00:57:10.869
say<00:57:09.409><c> anything</c><00:57:09.710><c> in</c><00:57:09.829><c> front</c><00:57:09.989><c> of</c><00:57:10.110><c> his</c><00:57:10.309><c> son</c>

00:57:10.869 --> 00:57:12.849
that<00:57:11.550><c> would</c><00:57:11.730><c> give</c><00:57:11.889><c> his</c><00:57:12.090><c> son</c><00:57:12.289><c> the</c><00:57:12.409><c> impression</c>

00:57:12.849 --> 00:57:13.449
that<00:57:13.010><c> his</c><00:57:13.230><c> father</c>

00:57:13.449 --> 00:57:15.570
wasn't<00:57:13.710><c> the</c><00:57:13.949><c> greatest</c><00:57:14.269><c> thing</c><00:57:14.449><c> on</c><00:57:14.769><c> the</c><00:57:14.769><c> earth?</c>

00:57:16.170 --> 00:57:17.489
Would<00:57:16.349><c> you</c><00:57:16.530><c> sit</c><00:57:16.710><c> your</c><00:57:16.929><c> son</c><00:57:17.170><c> down</c>

00:57:17.489 --> 00:57:18.070
and<00:57:17.670><c> tell</c><00:57:17.730><c> him,</c>

00:57:18.170 --> 00:57:19.650
blandly<00:57:18.630><c> tell</c><00:57:18.789><c> him</c><00:57:18.889><c> what</c><00:57:19.010><c> you</c><00:57:19.190><c> really</c><00:57:19.510><c> are?</c>

00:57:19.710 --> 00:57:20.289
You<00:57:19.789><c> wouldn't.</c>

00:57:20.329 --> 00:57:21.730
You<00:57:20.409><c> wouldn't</c><00:57:20.570><c> do</c><00:57:20.809><c> that.</c>

00:57:23.369 --> 00:57:26.489
If<00:57:23.809><c> you</c><00:57:24.250><c> want</c><00:57:24.449><c> to</c><00:57:24.650><c> uphold</c><00:57:25.050><c> your</c><00:57:25.769><c> image</c>

00:57:26.489 --> 00:57:27.349
in<00:57:26.730><c> front</c><00:57:26.889><c> of</c><00:57:27.110><c> anyone,</c>

00:57:27.670 --> 00:57:28.849
the<00:57:27.789><c> last</c><00:57:28.130><c> person</c><00:57:28.469><c> on</c><00:57:28.630><c> the</c><00:57:28.690><c> earth</c>

00:57:28.849 --> 00:57:31.090
that<00:57:29.050><c> you</c><00:57:30.130><c> want</c><00:57:30.289><c> to</c><00:57:30.389><c> uphold</c><00:57:30.690><c> that</c><00:57:30.869><c> image</c>

00:57:31.090 --> 00:57:33.210
is<00:57:31.429><c> your</c><00:57:32.030><c> son.</c>

00:57:33.909 --> 00:57:34.849
Now,<00:57:34.130><c> this</c><00:57:34.170><c> son</c><00:57:34.409><c> comes</c><00:57:34.670><c> up</c>

00:57:34.849 --> 00:57:36.309
and<00:57:34.969><c> he</c><00:57:35.070><c> said,</c><00:57:35.269><c> Dad,</c>

00:57:36.949 --> 00:57:38.030
what<00:57:37.130><c> does</c><00:57:37.550><c> it</c><00:57:37.750><c> mean?</c>

00:57:38.170 --> 00:57:38.829
What<00:57:38.289><c> does</c><00:57:38.550><c> it</c><00:57:38.690><c> mean?</c>

00:57:38.869 --> 00:57:39.650
All<00:57:39.070><c> these</c><00:57:39.309><c> laws</c>

00:57:39.650 --> 00:57:41.989
that<00:57:39.929><c> God's</c><00:57:40.309><c> commanded</c><00:57:40.610><c> you</c><00:57:40.849><c> to</c><00:57:41.050><c> keep.</c>

00:57:42.750 --> 00:57:44.650
Now,<00:57:42.909><c> I'll</c><00:57:43.150><c> paraphrase</c><00:57:43.530><c> this</c><00:57:43.730><c> for</c><00:57:43.929><c> you.</c>

00:57:44.949 --> 00:57:46.369
Son,<00:57:45.050><c> I</c><00:57:45.230><c> was</c><00:57:45.429><c> a</c><00:57:45.610><c> servant</c><00:57:45.750><c> of</c><00:57:45.889><c> the</c><00:57:46.090><c> world.</c>

00:57:46.750 --> 00:57:49.150
The<00:57:46.949><c> world</c><00:57:47.170><c> had</c><00:57:47.769><c> the</c><00:57:47.949><c> best</c><00:57:48.110><c> of</c><00:57:48.289><c> me.</c>

00:57:50.190 --> 00:57:50.829
It<00:57:50.289><c> was</c><00:57:50.530><c> Yahweh</c>

00:57:50.829 --> 00:57:52.610
that<00:57:51.010><c> brought</c><00:57:51.090><c> me</c><00:57:51.210><c> out</c><00:57:51.329><c> of</c><00:57:51.389><c> the</c><00:57:51.610><c> world.</c>

00:57:52.670 --> 00:57:53.750
But<00:57:52.750><c> it</c><00:57:52.849><c> took</c><00:57:53.070><c> a</c><00:57:53.210><c> mighty</c><00:57:53.429><c> hand</c>

00:57:53.750 --> 00:57:55.010
to<00:57:53.949><c> get</c><00:57:54.030><c> me</c><00:57:54.289><c> out.</c>

00:57:56.530 --> 00:57:57.530
And<00:57:56.829><c> in</c><00:57:56.969><c> my</c><00:57:57.269><c> life,</c>

00:57:57.550 --> 00:57:59.670
he<00:57:57.809><c> showed</c><00:57:58.010><c> signs</c><00:57:58.489><c> and</c><00:57:58.769><c> wonders</c>

00:57:59.829 --> 00:58:01.409
upon<00:58:00.269><c> the</c><00:58:00.550><c> world</c>

00:58:01.730 --> 00:58:03.030
and<00:58:02.090><c> upon</c><00:58:02.329><c> all</c><00:58:02.670><c> the</c><00:58:02.809><c> enemies</c>

00:58:03.030 --> 00:58:03.869

All<00:58:06.650><c> I</c><00:58:06.869><c> did</c><00:58:07.010><c> was</c><00:58:07.150><c> stand</c><00:58:07.389><c> alongside</c><00:58:07.809><c> and</c><00:58:08.070><c> watch.</c>

00:58:08.989 --> 00:58:10.829
I<00:58:09.150><c> didn't</c><00:58:09.289><c> do</c><00:58:09.449><c> anything</c><00:58:09.610><c> about</c><00:58:09.809><c> it.</c>

00:58:11.250 --> 00:58:13.110

00:58:26.369 --> 00:58:27.550
And<00:58:26.630><c> he's</c><00:58:26.909><c> commanded</c><00:58:27.210><c> us</c>

00:58:40.630 --> 00:58:41.449
I'm<00:58:40.670><c> only</c><00:58:40.909><c> alive</c><00:58:41.130><c> today</c>

00:58:41.449 --> 00:58:42.309

Now,<00:58:44.989><c> you</c><00:58:45.130><c> fancy</c><00:58:45.309><c> telling</c><00:58:45.489><c> your</c><00:58:45.690><c> boy</c><00:58:45.769><c> all</c><00:58:46.010><c> that.</c>

00:58:46.989 --> 00:58:48.690

00:58:48.909 --> 00:58:49.929
God<00:58:49.110><c> dealt</c><00:58:49.309><c> with</c><00:58:49.469><c> the</c><00:58:49.690><c> world,</c>

00:58:52.449 --> 00:58:53.949

But<00:59:00.269><c> it</c><00:59:00.349><c> hadn't</c><00:59:00.469><c> been</c><00:59:00.650><c> for</c><00:59:00.750><c> that</c><00:59:00.869><c> I'd</c><00:59:01.070><c> been</c><00:59:01.150><c> back</c><00:59:01.489><c> there.</c>

00:59:02.610 --> 00:59:04.610
