  12 and we're going to look at most of the chapter just covering it very quickly but from verse 3
• 0:07
  especially for by the grace given to me i say to everyone among you not to think of himself more
• 0:15
  highly than he ought to think but to think with sober judgment each according to the measure of
• 0:21
  faith that god has assigned and so on through to the end of the chapter sometimes it's beneficial
• 0:27
  to take an overview of a passage although my own personal preference especially new testament is to
• 0:35
  break it down into smaller sections something what we're doing in philippians on the lord's day but
• 0:41
  it does actually help to take the whole passage and get an overview of it get the uh the whole
• 0:48
  panorama if you like of of the teaching in it like we are in this passage itself although there are
• 0:53
  many things in it of course as you know that we could stop over and spend a lot more time on
• 0:58
  now you can see that the way it begins the chapter begins with a reference especially to the mind
• 1:06
  presenting your bodies as a living sacrifice and then he goes on don't be conformed to this world
• 1:12
  but be transformed by the renewal of your mind and again as you see so often in paul
• 1:19
  his emphasis on the mind is so significant the mind in many ways the way that rationally in our souls
• 1:27
  as people who are and who are given the spirit of god to enable us to discern things properly
• 1:34
  the mind is in many ways the controlling feature of our life what is through of the mind is through of
• 1:42
  the person by and large as romans 8 puts it the fleshly mind the carnal mind is enmity against god
• 1:49
  but the spiritual mind the mind of the spirit is life and peace they're very much opposites they're
• 1:56
  very much in contest with each other the carnal mind the spiritual mind they're complete opposites
• 2:02
  and when you come to have that mind the mind of the spirit through you're being born again well that mind
• 2:09
  is then the operating control room if you like of your soul through the way that god gives you more
• 2:18
  and more to understand truth and that emphasis at the beginning of the chapter on the mind follows
• 2:23
  through into the the remaining part of the chapter the correct attitude or approach from the mind
• 2:32
  follows through into the actions that are mentioned in the chapter as it goes on so it's really a passage
• 2:40
  about attitude about attitude and action the attitude of the right mind the mind that's transformed
• 2:47
  by the mind that's renewed under the spirit of god's blessing that renewed mind is then leads directly
• 2:58
  to these actions that are set out in most of what follows in the chapter and they're always connected
• 3:05
  where you have a renewed mind you have corresponding actions in that christian life as the mind is
• 3:15
  is enlightened by the spirit of god and the truth of god that leads on to a certain type of lifestyle
• 3:24
  certain type of practice in every aspect of life as we seek for ourselves daily so let's look at three
• 3:33
  things briefly first of all in verses three to eight you have a correct attitude and action in the
• 3:39
  individual sense in which we as individuals as individual christians are called upon to have this kind of
• 3:48
  attitude and the action that follows on from that and then in verses nine to 16 that correct attitude
• 3:55
  and action is something that's emphasized in our relationships one with another as christians
• 4:00
  and then to finish off in verses 16 to 21 he speaks about that right attitude and action towards
• 4:08
  the opponents that you face as christians those in the world that don't share your priorities or your
• 4:15
  lifestyle your way of life and particularly those of them that are actively hostile well here is one
• 4:22
  passage that gives us direction as to how to face that how to deal with that and you'll find that
• 4:28
  verses 16 to 21 especially so let's just briefly go over these first of all at verse three uh i i say to
• 4:37
  you by the grace given to me he said not to think of himself more highly every one of you so he's talking
• 4:43
  here to to individuals each according to the measure of faith that god has assigned he's talking here about
• 4:50
  sober judgment and sober judgment um doesn't uh primarily have to do with with alcohol with drugs
• 4:59
  although that obviously can come into it as well the mind as it's clouded by such things obviously isn't
• 5:05
  in a proper state to have that attitude towards itself towards ourselves or others but that's not what
• 5:12
  he's talking about primarily uh thinking sober judgment really is thinking in a measured way
• 5:18
  in a way that actually approaches things from the point of view of god's truth and the way it leads us
• 5:25
  into how we should think about all things and uh it's a two-sided thing is saying first of all
• 5:31
  don't think of yourself more highly than you ought to think he's saying that to each of them
• 5:36
  so saying that to each of us tonight we're not to think of ourselves more highly than we ought to
• 5:43
  think that's one side of it but there's another side to it as well because having sober judgment or
• 5:49
  measured judgment means you don't think less of yourself than you ought to think it is actually
• 5:56
  dishonoring to god to actually think less of yourself than what god has made you to be and there were
• 6:04
  sometimes we would try and uh uh of course humility is signally important in the christian life
• 6:12
  and it's emphasized throughout the bible as an important aspect or characteristic of god's people
• 6:17
  but um sometimes we set out to try to be humble um by um not really being prepared to acknowledge
• 6:27
  positively what god has done in our life or what we may have by his grace been able to achieve
• 6:33
  but that would be wrong as well because we have to look at what god has done for us what god has
• 6:38
  done in us what has god gifted us with in order to serve the church and our tendency is to think very
• 6:46
  low of that and not really emphasize it now in that sense that's good but if it's if it's to the extent
• 6:52
  of really not presenting what god has done clearly and uh thankfully then that is dishonoring to god we must
• 7:01
  never uh set out in any way to obscure or to uh try and keep uh too low a profile of what god has done
• 7:11
  in our lives so think with sober judgment he's saying and for all of us tonight whatever age we're at
• 7:18
  whatever um contribution we have or haven't made yet thinking sober judgment is think of myself you're
• 7:25
  saying to yourself think of myself not not uh highly as a as i ought to think don't think of yourself too
• 7:32
  highly more highly than you ought to think on the other hand ask yourself am i using the gifts god
• 7:38
  has given me do i have sober judgment am i prepared to accept that god has given me certain abilities
• 7:45
  through which i can serve him through which i can serve his church and serve this congregation
• 7:50
  so there's one thing it's the correct attitude and and action but then he says according to the measure
• 7:57
  of faith that god has assigned now that doesn't mean primarily it doesn't mean different amounts or
• 8:05
  levels of faith it doesn't mean for example one person of strong faith another person having a much
• 8:12
  less than that in terms of their faith or their assurance or whatever what this is dealing with is
• 8:19
  actually the particular gifts that god has assigned to his people and that very much comes into
• 8:25
  relationships how we actually follow through uh with the attitude we have to ourselves and to others
• 8:32
  and what he's saying is each according to the measure of faith that god has assigned uh primarily saying
• 8:39
  the application of faith using the different gifts that god has given to his people
• 8:45
  that's what we actually bring forward as we think of the measure of faith not how much faith do i have
• 8:53
  compared to somebody else as far as believing is concerned but being prepared to ask myself where has god
• 9:00
  given me certain abilities or gifts without thinking of myself more highly than i ought to think
• 9:05
  and yet not less either but it's according to the measure of faith the amount or a measure the way in
• 9:13
  which if you like god has apportioned or portioned out the various gifts that exist within his believing
• 9:20
  people because then he goes on to speak about the body of christ for it's all connected together of course
• 9:27
  the ways arguing here for us in one body we have many members and members do not all have the same function
• 9:34
  so we though many are one body in christ and individually members one of another
• 9:42
  are you saying think with sober judgment think positively think of yourself not more highly than you ought to think
• 9:50
  but don't think less than you ought to think but it's according to the measure of faith
• 9:55
  that god has assigned looking at whatever gifts they may be and asking god to help you to discern them
• 10:01
  because you exist within the body you exist within that one spiritual body of christ
• 10:07
  his church in this world that's where the gifts are to be used and that's where the apportioning of
• 10:12
  by god of these gifts actually comes to be used
• 10:16
  and notice he's saying members one of another now this of course is a an illustration that paul uses in first
• 10:24
  corinthians 12 and ephesians 4 looking at the spiritual body of christ the spiritual membership of the body of christ
• 10:33
  in the way that these other passages do it lifting gifts of grace that he gives to the various people that are his
• 10:41
  well he's saying here in the imagery of the body he's adding here that we are one body in christ
• 10:49
  but individually members one of another now what does he mean by that it's a bit of a strange phrase and you don't find it in
• 10:57
  the other passages that i've mentioned there well for one thing it certainly means that we actually need one another
• 11:05
  we are members one of another my membership of the body of christ does not exist separately from yours
• 11:14
  your membership as an individual of the body of christ your place in the body and the gifts that god has given you
• 11:21
  does not exist in isolation from the rest of the body from the other members of that body
• 11:26
  in other words we're members one of another so that we are out we are we are set out in in a way that
• 11:34
  needs one another that supports one another that looks out for one another that seeks to comfort when we need comfort
• 11:42
  one another that seeks to teach when we need teaching that seeks sometimes even to rebuke when it's necessary
• 11:50
  as part of the development and progress of god's people and of the truth in our own practice of it
• 11:58
  so he's saying this is what it is each person individually members of the body of christ
• 12:06
  think of yourselves not more highly than you ought to think but not less either because god has gifted
• 12:13
  you the measure of faith the measure of gifting that he has given to you that's what you need to use
• 12:18
  and you use it within the overall body that functions according to the grace that's given and then he mentions
• 12:26
  the various uh the various types of of um activity there according to the grace that's given as prophecy
• 12:34
  serving teaching and so on he's he lists a few there just to show what he's actually about in terms of
• 12:41
  the body functioning together and being members one of another and it really is important in the world in
• 12:49
  which we live that this is what we present to the world it's not just for that reason that we are members
• 12:57
  one of another but nevertheless that's what the world sees and what the world sees must be that we
• 13:04
  actually are members one of another in the sense of showing the world that we do need each other that
• 13:10
  we value each other that is our privilege and our blessing to have that relationship with one another
• 13:16
  to form the body of christ and to exercise our gifts in relation to the well-being of the body
• 13:22
  but of each person with whom we have this wonderful spiritual connection and contact in the body of
• 13:29
  christ so it's a correct attitude and action for us as individuals then verses 8 to 16 you have a
• 13:37
  correct attitude and action in regard to one another well of course there's an overlap with with what i've
• 13:42
  said already what's in the previous verses we've just mentioned but notice in verse 9 let love be
• 13:49
  let love be genuine abhor what is evil hold fast to what is good love one another with brotherly affection
• 13:59
  outdo one another in showing honor and as often with paul love comes to the fore
• 14:07
  and in many ways as he begins this part of the passage with an emphasis on love so that carries through
• 14:15
  into everything else that he's saying here in terms whether it's rejoicing or patience or contributing
• 14:22
  to the needs of the saints to show hospitality to bless those who persecute and rejoice with those who
• 14:28
  rejoice all of that we'll just mention them in a minute very briefly but that's what he's beginning
• 14:33
  with the love that he mentions here in verse 9 is the love that carries through into all of these other
• 14:39
  activities they are all aspects of love as it works through in the practice of christians and he gives
• 14:48
  that priority to love as you can see in the next chapter and right through into the following chapters as
• 14:55
  well where obviously love comes to the fore and what he's saying and some of that as well
• 15:02
  but he gives us then some of these elements of love in the verses down to verse 16 i'm not going to
• 15:09
  read these in detail but let's just look at them as they go along they're just they're not a complete
• 15:15
  list by any means it's a sample list you might say he's giving us but even then as a sample there are
• 15:21
  about a dozen or so things here which we actually have to to look at in in passing just now but let's look
• 15:28
  at it let love uh he says here but let love be genuine now that word literally is let love be unhypocritical
• 15:39
  because the genuineness or sincerity of the love of christians is the exact opposite of hypocrisy
• 15:48
  it's uh something that is based itself on the truth of god on the truth of god in christ and in
• 15:56
  the scriptures and so that exercise of love this is it connected you see to the mind the renewed
• 16:02
  mind is the mind that loves and the renewed mind as the mind that loves is the love is the mind that
• 16:08
  loves sincerely it's the love it's the mind that abhors uh insincerity that abhors hypocrisy
• 16:16
  that doesn't want to present things in a pretended kind of way or in an imagined kind of way
• 16:22
  it's not presenting an outer an outer skin of love if you like in our practice without it having
• 16:30
  a really genuine heart let love be sincere let it be unhypocritical let it be genuine
• 16:38
  and sometimes that means when love needs to rebuke when love needs to pass comment lovingly on something
• 16:48
  that's out of place either in another christian's life or even in the life of the world it's your
• 16:55
  love for the truth it's your love for god that brings you to speak about that or against that
• 17:00
  but you do it lovingly and you do it in such a way that your love is sincere it's unhypocritical you're
• 17:08
  not taking that up to make a name for yourself you're not taking that up in anything other than
• 17:13
  out of concern for the honor and glory of god let love be sincere let it be unhypocritical
• 17:21
  and that's a big challenge in itself we could spend the rest of the night looking at the sincerity of
• 17:28
  love and the way that god that paul speaks about in another in that respect in other passages as well
• 17:34
  but let's leave it there he then goes on to speak about a holding fast to abhor what is evil
• 17:41
  hold fast to what is good in other words have a discerning mind a discerning attitude and that
• 17:49
  discernment that leads to action abhor what is evil hold fast to what is good and throughout this passage
• 17:55
  it's wonderful the way that the apostle puts opposites together we'll see that at the end of the passage as
• 18:01
  well and these two things obviously go together as opposites in other words to abhor what is evil
• 18:07
  you need at the same time even more so to hold fast to what is good how are you going to abhor evil
• 18:15
  well it's by holding fast to what is good the one outdoes the other if you hold fast to what is evil
• 18:23
  then you're going to have something against what is good that's really how it works
• 18:27
  but for the christian for the mind that's been renewed for the mind that wants to honor christ
• 18:33
  this is what he's saying abhor what is evil hold fast to what is good love one another with brotherly
• 18:40
  affection is translated here and you can see immediately that that really that that is as a
• 18:45
  family word it takes you into the idea of of family love and family relations and family concerns
• 18:52
  that's what we are as a body of christ we are god's spiritual family he is our father he is the one who
• 19:00
  has brought us into being spiritually and through being born again and adopted by him we're brought
• 19:07
  into relation with each other as his people we belong to that same family as all other converted
• 19:16
  christians are so he's saying here um outdo one another in showing affection that to us uh the family
• 19:25
  word honoring one another be fervent um he's saying in spirit don't be slothful and zeal be fervent and spirit
• 19:33
  serving the lord i think it should be translated there rather than a separate thing do not be slothful
• 19:40
  in zeal be fervent and spirit serving the lord there you can see again the two the two opposites and the
• 19:47
  way they go together if you don't want to be slothful in your zeal if you don't want to have
• 19:53
  that sort of attitude that doesn't really care too much about things then how do you overcome that
• 19:59
  well you've you'll be fervent in spirit and the word fervent there literally means boiling something
• 20:06
  that you see in a pan on the stove when it's boiling rapidly that's what he's saying to us there how do
• 20:12
  you come how do you overcome being slothful and zeal well you'll be fervent in spirit ask the lord to
• 20:19
  make you fervent ask the lord to give you a boiling heart ask the lord to really move you inwardly in
• 20:25
  such a way that you're agitated away from being slothful and zeal from being just uh as they say
• 20:32
  in gallic comico you about things and that's the opposite of what you have here in fervency of spirit
• 20:39
  and serving the lord then he speaks about perseverance firstly rejoicing in hope patient and tribulation
• 20:46
  constant in prayer you could summarize these really under perseverance it's a persevering
• 20:52
  mind and and action on the part of the christian there as well and he moves to being generous verse 13
• 20:59
  contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality you can see how they connect together
• 21:06
  if you're concerned to supply the needs of those who are very much in need whether they're saints or
• 21:12
  otherwise he he mentions they're the saints as he often does because this is the family he's still
• 21:18
  talking about and our priority is to to look to the needs of the family first of course without
• 21:24
  neglecting those out with but he's saying contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality
• 21:32
  which really goes along with contributing to their needs showing hospitality hospitality in paul's day was
• 21:41
  absolutely crucial because as he and others went from place to place with the gospel as they carried
• 21:49
  the message of jesus from place to place they were depending on being received by those who would
• 21:55
  actually look after them whether it was for a night or two or for longer because they lived in a dangerous
• 22:01
  world they lived in a world when persecution of christians was was absolutely rife in most places of these large
• 22:08
  cities and you can see that from his own writings of course what happened to him and so hospitality was
• 22:15
  a means of security in many ways it wasn't just that you cared for the needs of the person and gave
• 22:21
  them a place to sleep for the night and made sure they were safe you were actually exercising your love
• 22:27
  for them in a way that gave them security that provided in that way for them showing hospitality
• 22:35
  and he goes then on to speak about being good willed verse 14 bless those who persecute you
• 22:41
  bless and do not curse them you see the way that goes together again bless and do not curse them
• 22:48
  so it's not just enough for us not to curse those who actually persecute us that's good if we don't
• 22:57
  actually curse them that's what we're required to but that doesn't go far enough for the apostle
• 23:01
  he's saying not just uh don't curse them but bless them pronounce blessing and seek blessing for them
• 23:09
  and that's going much further than just avoiding cursing them because that stops short of blessing
• 23:15
  them and seeking god's blessing for them and it's it's very difficult at times if you were living
• 23:20
  in ukraine tonight um and actually uh saying to christians they're no you should really bless those russians
• 23:28
  those russian troops that come upon you see how difficult that would be because very often
• 23:33
  understandably those who are interviewed will say well i just hate these russians of course the russian
• 23:40
  soldier are just carrying out their duties um whether they do it in a way that's acceptable or not
• 23:46
  another thing but you can see the difficulty for a christian facing that just as it would be in paul's day
• 23:52
  yet that's what he's saying uh do not uh curse those who persecute you but bless them seek god's blessing
• 24:00
  for them pronounce blessing towards them and upon them in the name of christ seek their conversion seek
• 24:07
  their well-being all that comes into it and uh verse 15 then um rejoice with those who rejoice
• 24:16
  weep with those who weep in other words he's saying ask god and keep asking for grace so as to be
• 24:24
  empathetic or sympathetic and empathetic to people whether they're weeping or whether they're rejoicing
• 24:29
  you can join with them and your joining with them is in kind so that you're able to rejoice with them
• 24:38
  if they're rejoicing properly as they should be and if it's the opposite if it's mourning if it's weeping
• 24:44
  seek to weep with them too and it doesn't mean that you need to have the ability to speak into their
• 24:54
  circumstances many people who sit really shattered by the difficulties of death in their experience in
• 25:04
  their families the death of loved ones many people sit silently they're really trying as best they can
• 25:12
  just to believe that's what happened has really happened and what they need from christians like
• 25:19
  you and i more than anything else is to go and sit beside them and take their hand and that's all
• 25:26
  because that's very often all that they're able to take in but that's everything for them
• 25:32
  weep with those who weep just as jesus did when he attended the the death the incident of lazarus's death
• 25:42
  he went to martha i've mentioned this before i'm sure he went to martha and he got her to speak
• 25:47
  because that's what she was like she needed to speak she needed to get things out and he knew that
• 25:52
  so he got her to speak he asked her questions he made a statement to her do you believe this
• 25:57
  and all the way through that was her way that was his way of getting her to respond there's no account
• 26:03
  at all that when he came alongside mary he didn't say anything to her as far as recorded anyway
• 26:09
  he didn't get her to speak because she was a different character what she needed more than
• 26:14
  anything else was the very presence of jesus that was enough so often it is for us too it's your presence
• 26:24
  your genuine good-willed presence that makes all the difference to people in their loss and their need
• 26:33
  and so he goes on like-minded and then humble verse 16 uh emphasizing again their humility so
• 26:41
  correct attitude and action to one another as well as to those out with and also our own individual
• 26:48
  attitude and action and he finishes by a correct attitude and action to our opponents and it has three
• 26:56
  negative and positive combinations there again from from verse 16 onwards where he says live in harmony
• 27:03
  with one another do not be haughty but associate with the humble never be conceited
• 27:08
  repay to no one evil for evil but give thought to what is honorable in the sight of all if possible as far
• 27:17
  as it depends on you live peaceably with all in other words it's not retaliation but peacemaking
• 27:25
  that god requires of us the peacemaking of which jesus himself spoke in the beatitudes blessed are the
• 27:34
  peacemakers for they shall be called sons of god or children of god why are they called children of god
• 27:41
  over and above the other beatitudes well because when you're making peace you are more like your father
• 27:48
  than in anything else because that's what he has done our father in heaven has made peace for us in christ
• 27:59
  and when you're making peace between people who have fallen out or between yourself and somebody that's fallen
• 28:05
  out with you or you've fallen out with making peace is the characteristic
• 28:11
  that makes you like god as far as that is concerned what he's saying is exactly the same
• 28:18
  as far as it is possible it doesn't mean that we say well okay i don't really think it's possible so i
• 28:25
  won't really bother but it's a very opposite direction as much as possible is really what it means
• 28:32
  as much as possible as far as it depends on you live peaceably with all
• 28:40
  and then he says never avenge yourselves but give place to wrath leave it to the wrath of god
• 28:48
  for it is written vengeance is mine i will repay says the lord
• 28:53
  vengeance has no place in our christian hearts
• 28:58
  that doesn't mean that we become soft that we don't stand up to those who want to persecute us or
• 29:06
  that we don't speak strongly out to those who oppose the gospel in a marked way
• 29:14
  but that's different to vengeance
• 29:16
  whenever something is done to you because you're a christian
• 29:22
  when it's taken out on you
• 29:24
  vengeance is never the response that god requires
• 29:29
  whatever it is must never be vengeance because he says
• 29:33
  vengeance is mine
• 29:35
  i will repay says the lord
• 29:37
  he may never repay
• 29:39
  to the person who has abused us
• 29:42
  he may never repay to that person
• 29:44
  in this life
• 29:46
  and that's where people
• 29:47
  by and large lose sight of
• 29:49
  the eternal dimensions of god
• 29:52
  and of god's vengeance
• 29:53
  if he doesn't actually bring it out in this life
• 29:57
  be sure of this
• 29:58
  he'll bring it out in his final judgment
• 30:00
  and you and i would not like to stand in the shoes
• 30:05
  of persecutors of god's people
• 30:08
  if they haven't repented
• 30:10
  by the time they face the judgment throne of christ
• 30:13
  it should fill us with
• 30:16
  horror and terror
• 30:18
  should make us tremble
• 30:20
  that anyone who's abused the people of god
• 30:23
  come to face god
• 30:26
  without having changed their lives
• 30:29
  leave it to me says the lord
• 30:31
  i will repay
• 30:33
  on the contrary
• 30:34
  if your enemy is hungry feed him
• 30:36
  if he's thirsty give him something to drink
• 30:39
  or by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head
• 30:42
  what does what does that mean
• 30:43
  what sort of
• 30:45
  situation does he describe in that
• 30:48
  well it's really
• 30:49
  pretty much following the same lines
• 30:52
  if your enemy is hungry
• 30:54
  feed him
• 30:55
  don't deny him what he needs
• 30:56
  on that level
• 30:58
  if he's thirsty give him something to drink
• 31:00
  in other words
• 31:01
  treat him kindly
• 31:02
  because the best way of getting to someone's conscience
• 31:07
  is to treat them in a way they don't deserve
• 31:11
  that's precisely what he's saying
• 31:14
  you will heap burning coals on his head
• 31:18
  you will get through to their conscience
• 31:20
  maybe that'll never lead them to christ
• 31:23
  though we hope it will
• 31:24
  but the fact is
• 31:25
  you have dealt with them as god himself requires you
• 31:29
  and it has touched their conscience
• 31:32
  and then it's up to them to do something about it
• 31:35
  but this is our part of it
• 31:37
  you want to get their conscience moved
• 31:41
  for god to stir their conscience
• 31:43
  by your doing good
• 31:44
  and that's how he finishes
• 31:45
  don't be overcome by evil
• 31:48
  but overcome evil
• 31:50
  with good
• 31:51
  and again you see there's both sides
• 31:53
  it's not enough for us not to be overcome with evil
• 31:56
  we need to go further than that
• 31:59
  and we need to overcome evil
• 32:01
  by doing good
• 32:03
  by the exercise of goodness
• 32:06
  as it flows from that renewed mind
• 32:09
  in the attitude
• 32:11
  that god has created
• 32:13
  in his people
• 32:14
  so may god bless these thoughts
• 32:17
  on his word
• 32:18
  to us this evening
• 32:19
  let's conclude by singing
• 32:20
  psalm 15
• 32:22
  psalm number 15
• 32:25
  and we'll sing the whole psalm
• 32:27
  page 215
• 32:28
  within thy tabernacle lord
• 32:32
  who shall abide with thee
• 32:33
  and in thy high and holy hill
• 32:35
  who shall a dweller be
• 32:38
  we'll sing that psalm
• 32:40
  psalm 15
• 32:41
  to god's praise
• 32:41
  within thy tabernacle lord
• 32:56
  who shall abide with thee
• 33:03
  and in thy high and holy hill
• 33:11
  who shall a dweller be
• 33:18
  a man who walketh uprightly
• 33:28
  and worketh righteousness
• 33:34
  and as he thinketh in his heart
• 33:44
  so doth he truth express
• 33:51
  who doth not slander with his tongue
• 34:01
  nor to his strength a third
• 34:08
  nor yet again his name
• 34:15
  nor yet again his name
• 34:16
  but doth take up a little report
• 34:24
  In whose eyes while men are despised, but those that God to fear, he honoureth and changeeth not.
• 34:51
  Though to his heart he squint, his coin could snort to you, study, nor take reward will he.
• 35:14
  Against the guiltless food of us, I'll never prove it be.
• 35:30
  If those who are elders can please remain behind because we'll be doing the session.
