00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:33.399
Some<00:00:30.359><c> of</c><00:00:30.460><c> you</c><00:00:30.539><c> might</c><00:00:30.719><c> remember</c><00:00:31.480><c> doing</c><00:00:32.140><c> that</c><00:00:32.479><c> quiz.</c>

00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:34.020
I<00:00:33.799><c> don't</c><00:00:33.939><c> know.</c>

00:00:34.060 --> 00:00:36.079
Do<00:00:34.119><c> you</c><00:00:34.159><c> want</c><00:00:34.280><c> me</c><00:00:34.399><c> to</c><00:00:34.579><c> tell</c><00:00:34.719><c> you</c><00:00:34.840><c> how</c><00:00:34.979><c> you</c><00:00:35.200><c> did</c><00:00:35.299><c> as</c><00:00:35.520><c> a</c><00:00:35.719><c> group?</c>

00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:38.420
I<00:00:36.659><c> should</c><00:00:36.659><c> cover</c><00:00:36.859><c> the</c><00:00:37.079><c> mic</c><00:00:37.259><c> first.</c>

00:00:41.659 --> 00:00:42.539
So<00:00:42.079><c> guess</c><00:00:42.380><c> what?</c>

00:00:42.539 --> 00:00:45.159
We're<00:00:42.719><c> going</c><00:00:42.799><c> to</c><00:00:42.920><c> do</c><00:00:43.000><c> the</c><00:00:43.240><c> quiz</c><00:00:43.380><c> again,</c><00:00:44.200><c> and</c><00:00:44.380><c> the</c><00:00:44.500><c> whole</c><00:00:44.700><c> idea</c>

00:00:48.340 --> 00:00:52.219
So<00:00:48.679><c> if</c><00:00:48.960><c> we</c><00:00:49.060><c> could</c><00:00:49.219><c> have</c><00:00:49.920><c> Tim</c><00:00:50.359><c> and</c><00:00:50.640><c> Matthew</c><00:00:51.179><c> come</c><00:00:51.740><c> and</c><00:00:52.079><c> share</c>

00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:23.620

00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:16.560
Here,<00:08:13.319><c> the</c><00:08:13.540><c> King</c><00:08:13.779><c> James</c><00:08:14.019><c> Version</c><00:08:14.480><c> chooses</c><00:08:14.879><c> appearance,</c><00:08:16.199><c> and</c>

00:08:26.740 --> 00:08:29.139
Let's<00:08:26.920><c> take</c><00:08:27.180><c> this</c><00:08:27.399><c> one</c><00:08:27.540><c> a</c><00:08:27.660><c> little</c><00:08:27.879><c> bit</c><00:08:28.160><c> farther.</c>

00:08:39.899 --> 00:08:42.100
the<00:08:40.139><c> King</c><00:08:40.340><c> James</c><00:08:40.559><c> Version</c><00:08:40.919><c> renders</c><00:08:41.379><c> it</c><00:08:41.659><c> here,</c>

00:08:42.460 --> 00:08:44.899
whereas<00:08:42.820><c> the</c><00:08:43.139><c> NIV,</c><00:08:43.679><c> avoid</c><00:08:43.899><c> every</c><00:08:44.240><c> kind</c><00:08:44.580><c> of</c><00:08:44.759><c> evil,</c>

00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:47.720
would<00:08:45.179><c> be</c><00:08:45.399><c> something</c><00:08:45.759><c> that</c><00:08:46.000><c> we'd</c><00:08:46.279><c> say</c><00:08:46.440><c> we</c><00:08:46.740><c> see</c><00:08:46.960><c> in</c><00:08:47.179><c> many,</c><00:08:47.720><c> many</c>

00:08:49.940 --> 00:08:52.820
So<00:08:50.159><c> that's</c><00:08:50.600><c> at</c><00:08:50.759><c> least</c><00:08:51.080><c> one</c><00:08:51.399><c> thing</c><00:08:51.539><c> to</c><00:08:51.740><c> take</c><00:08:51.919><c> into</c><00:08:52.139><c> consideration.</c>

00:08:52.820 --> 00:08:56.000
Now,<00:08:53.059><c> I</c><00:08:53.220><c> realize</c><00:08:53.759><c> there</c><00:08:53.940><c> are</c><00:08:54.120><c> other</c><00:08:54.320><c> principles</c><00:08:54.820><c> which</c><00:08:55.259><c> go</c><00:08:55.559><c> quite</c><00:08:55.879><c> a</c>

00:09:08.139 --> 00:09:10.779
such<00:09:08.379><c> that</c><00:09:08.539><c> you</c><00:09:08.679><c> don't</c><00:09:08.919><c> put</c><00:09:09.080><c> a</c><00:09:09.299><c> stumbling</c><00:09:09.580><c> block</c><00:09:09.940><c> before</c><00:09:10.240><c> your</c><00:09:10.539><c> brother.</c>

and<00:09:15.539><c> I</c><00:09:15.720><c> would</c><00:09:15.879><c> say</c><00:09:16.000><c> a</c><00:09:16.039><c> little</c><00:09:16.200><c> more</c><00:09:16.419><c> extreme,</c><00:09:17.639><c> just</c><00:09:17.840><c> simply</c><00:09:18.220><c> abstaining</c><00:09:18.620><c> from</c><00:09:18.899><c> all</c><00:09:19.299><c> appearance</c><00:09:19.960><c> of</c><00:09:20.659><c> evil.</c>

00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:28.179

00:09:34.379 --> 00:09:37.240
It<00:09:34.500><c> seems</c><00:09:34.779><c> we</c><00:09:35.000><c> have</c><00:09:35.220><c> our</c><00:09:35.360><c> hands</c><00:09:35.679><c> full</c><00:09:36.019><c> just</c><00:09:36.559><c> abstaining</c><00:09:37.019><c> from</c>

00:09:47.100 --> 00:09:50.639
So,<00:09:48.120><c> you</c><00:09:48.220><c> know,</c><00:09:48.600><c> Jesus</c><00:09:48.860><c> ate</c><00:09:49.159><c> with</c><00:09:49.440><c> publicans</c><00:09:49.980><c> and</c><00:09:50.259><c> sinners,</c>
