  athletics in his own day and the famous games that took place in that region and he uses that
• 0:07
  frequently in his epistles. Athletics, wrestling, boxing, all of these energetic activities he finds
• 0:16
  very useful in order to apply them as illustrations of different aspects of the Christian life.
• 0:23
  Philippians 3 verse 13, remember they're thinking about straining ahead to the things that lay ahead
• 0:29
  and the imagery there is of the athlete coming to the final finishing stretch, reaching forward to
• 0:36
  press himself through the tape in order to achieve the goal and you'll find the same thing here in
• 0:43
  verse 29 of the first chapter where you find him using the words struggling and then in the first
• 0:51
  verse of chapter 2 he uses the word struggle so the verb is there in verse 29 the noun struggle in
• 0:58
  chapter 2 verse 1 and that's all to do with the effort that he is putting into the work that he's
• 1:07
  doing as an apostle as a servant of Christ not just for these Christians in Colossae but also others for
• 1:15
  whom he has a burden and responsibility and so that is repeated you can find yourselves different passages
• 1:22
  that have similar sentiments 1 Timothy chapter 6 verse 12 where he talks there in 2 Timothy 4 verse 7
• 1:31
  speaking of himself there as somebody who's coming to the end of his course I have kept I fought the good
• 1:38
  fight I have kept the faith and so on you'll find the same in Luke chapter 13 where you find there an
• 1:46
  emphasis on on that same sort of imagery Luke 13 at verse 24 where you find words that are similar to
• 1:58
  the apostle just to show that they're not just confined to the apostle Luke 13 and verse 24 where you find
• 2:07
  the Lord saying someone said to him Lord will those who are saved be few and he said to them strive to enter
• 2:16
  through the narrow door so you find the same imagery there make every effort put all your energy into
• 2:23
  getting through the narrow door into the kingdom of God into salvation and then when you go to Colossians
• 2:29
  chapter 4 you find verse 12 there very similarly to what you have here in verse 2 in chapter 2
• 2:36
  chapter 4 verse 12 where we read that Epaphras who is one of you a servant of Christ Jesus greets you
• 2:44
  always struggling on your behalf in his prayers and he's not saying they're struggling in prayer in
• 2:52
  terms of not really being able to pray it's not struggle in that sense though some of us very much
• 2:57
  are aware of that struggle there just means exactly the same as chapter 2 verse 1 here this energetic
• 3:04
  effort putting his effort into this he's really struggling in prayer he's putting everything
• 3:09
  into his prayer the effort he puts into his prayers for them and it's not surprising you find all of
• 3:17
  these emphases especially in Colossians here because this is a letter written to a church that were
• 3:23
  really having problems with false teaching and false teachers who were facing the kind of false teaching
• 3:31
  about salvation that said to them look Christ is not enough you need something more than Jesus you need
• 3:38
  more than the righteousness that's in Christ you need something more than what the apostle Paul taught
• 3:43
  that we are justified through faith in Christ that everything we require is there in Christ as the
• 3:49
  provision of God and that's where you find all of these kinds of references throughout Colossians
• 3:55
  to false teaching using words probably borrowed from the false teachers themselves who had an idea that
• 4:03
  Christ was not enough and you needed to build up different layers of experience and initiation rights
• 4:10
  until you came to know God at last and of course that's how they themselves saw themselves they were the means
• 4:16
  by which people were led by them so they thought into a proper knowledge of God and Paul is saying
• 4:23
  don't listen to that put that away from you everything that you already need that you need has already
• 4:29
  been given to you it's all in Christ Jesus as we'll see he mentions here that deposited in him are all the
• 4:37
  treasures of wisdom and knowledge and of course that sort of teaching that sort of false teaching
• 4:46
  is very unsettling heresy is always unsettling false teaching is always discouraging to congregations
• 4:55
  discouraging unsettling to Christians which is why you find combined here not only the sufficiency of
• 5:02
  Christ but the unity of God's people in Christ and it's a unity first of all in love and in the truth and we'll
• 5:11
  see in these first few verses verses one to three how both of these aspects in relation to unity are so
• 5:17
  important it's unity in love and in truth not just in love or not just in truth it's unity in love and
• 5:27
  truth as these are inseparably connected together in the scheme of God in the Christians experience
• 5:34
  so let's look at that first of all unity in love and in the truth and you notice this word
• 5:41
  encouraged I want you to know how great a struggle I have for you and for those at Laodicea and for
• 5:48
  those who have not seen me face to face and some take the view that Paul had never met the Colossians
• 5:55
  there's no record of him in the New Testament having been at Colossae or having established the
• 6:00
  the work in Colossae others take a different view but there's no record of him having been there in any
• 6:07
  case he's saying those have not seen me face to face I include them that their hearts may be encouraged
• 6:13
  the purpose and aim of the apostles struggle for them and I'm sure he means struggle in the sense of
• 6:21
  Epaphras's struggle in chapter four and in prayer as well all the effort that he's expending on their
• 6:27
  behalf and remembering them and praying for them and writing this to them that it's all directed to this
• 6:34
  that they might be encouraged that their hearts may be encouraged and the word encouraged there is
• 6:40
  a word that's very very similar indeed the same root as the words in the New Testament in John
• 6:47
  especially John's gospel for the Holy Spirit who is the encourager the comforter the person who comes
• 6:54
  alongside literally means to come alongside and speak to us to encourage us so encouragement really
• 7:02
  in the New Testament sense of it is something that has both comfort and fortification you get comfort
• 7:10
  through the ministry of the gospel but you get fortification you are fortified through it as well
• 7:16
  you're strengthened and all of that's built into what Paul is saying this is why I have this great
• 7:22
  struggle for you so that their hearts may be encouraged you cannot look at any or read anything from
• 7:30
  the apostle in terms such as these and fallen with those who thought that Paul was a very distant
• 7:37
  character that he was a very harsh character the modern representations of Paul would see him as
• 7:44
  somebody who was really pretty much a formalist kind of character he was just interested in theology
• 7:49
  giving out these great schemes of theology and all these letters that have all this theology in them
• 7:55
  but really was he somebody who could get close to was it somebody who was genuinely interested in
• 8:00
  people's well-being yes he was this is no cold distant formalist this is a man who wants to get alongside
• 8:08
  people this is a man who really seeks to understand where they're at what they're suffering why they're
• 8:14
  suffering what they need in terms of teaching advice guidance support now of course a great
• 8:21
  challenge to ourselves because from this passage itself you can actually just
• 8:27
  detect the warmth and the heart of the apostle for these Christians at Colossae and it reminds
• 8:34
  ourselves that whatever we place we give to theology and we give theology or should be giving to theology
• 8:42
  a very important foundational place in our thinking
• 8:45
  we have to have along with that this genuine warmth of affection and concern and prayerfulness and
• 8:55
  struggle for people to develop in their faith to grow in their faith to have their lives built up
• 9:02
  in God's truth so he's first of all saying it's to encourage them that they may be encouraged
• 9:09
  but then he says being knit together in love so it's for encouragement but also connected with that
• 9:19
  is that they are knit together in love in other words this is the unity that he's now introducing
• 9:24
  the unity of God's people the unity of these Christians and Colossae and in that unity they must face the
• 9:31
  heretics in that unity they must see to it that as they grow in grace and as they grow in knowledge
• 9:36
  as they grow in understanding so they're growing also in closeness and in regard to each other
• 9:42
  because that's how they must face the heretics that they must face the false teaching that wants to
• 9:48
  just take them away from everything being already for them in Christ
• 9:53
  knit together in love
• 9:57
  this is no mere outward organized religion
• 10:06
  all is certainly organized and wants people to be organized he's commending them as we see
• 10:13
  in the later part here rejoicing to see your your good order and the firmness of your faith in Christ
• 10:20
  Paul is not about everything just being done loosely or casually or just come what may and people just
• 10:26
  following their own inclinations no he has to have an order to his theology and an order to his
• 10:32
  Christian life and an order to the congregation is writing to and that's an important facet of being
• 10:38
  Christians together in this world our unity is not a disordered organization it is an ordered unity it's
• 10:45
  having things in the right place as God himself specified or leads and you could follow that point
• 10:52
  out yourselves but it's crucial that we see here this unity that he's speaking of being knit together
• 10:59
  is being knit together in love in love
• 11:04
  there is in fact no proper unity without love without Christian love
• 11:13
  because without Christian love unity breaks down or isn't really there at all in any meaningful sense
• 11:21
  but being knit together closely bound together in love love is is crucial
• 11:28
  to our unity see what he's saying in chapter 3 and verse 14 if you uh just cast your mind forward to that
• 11:36
  he's saying put on in verse 12 as chosen ones God's chosen one put on he's talking here the language of
• 11:43
  clothing yourselves put on holy put on kindness put on humility put on meekness put on patience
• 11:50
  bearing with one another and if anyone has a complaint against another forgiving each other as the Lord has forgiven
• 11:56
  you and above all these put on love in other words he's saying these are the spiritual garments you put on as
• 12:04
  Christians and there's a garment over and above all of them that really keeps them all together
• 12:09
  that keeps them from being dissipated or losing their effectiveness
• 12:13
  what is that garment that binds everything together in perfect harmony it is love
• 12:18
  the love that's patterned on the love of God the love of Christ himself
• 12:26
  so being knit together in love so you see the way the the argument is proceeding
• 12:31
  I'm struggling for you I have this great energetic struggle for you and it's so that your hearts may be encouraged
• 12:39
  and so that they'll be encouraged being knit together in love and then what what is the objective
• 12:46
  what is he then saying all of this unity and of this uh of of of this um struggle that he has for them
• 12:54
  that they be encouraged it's so that they will reach all the riches of fuller of full assurance
• 13:01
  of understanding of understanding and the knowledge of God's mystery which is in Christ
• 13:07
  what a packed phrase I mean you'd need more than remaining 10-15 minutes to even
• 13:14
  unpack um the main parts of that he's talking here about God's mystery which is in Christ and when Paul
• 13:23
  speaks about mystery in this sense he always speaks about things which were hidden
• 13:28
  in the old testament days or all the way through or partly or mostly hidden but now have been revealed
• 13:34
  the mystery of salvation the wonderful truth of salvation which in part was revealed in the old
• 13:41
  testament but waited until the coming of Christ the fullness of God's revelation in him
• 13:46
  has now been revealed and he says this is what my struggle is for you and for those in Laodicea
• 13:53
  that being knitted together in love to reach all the riches of full assurance of understanding
• 14:00
  and the knowledge of God's mystery which is in Christ God's revealed truth in Christ and you see
• 14:09
  he's saying here they are deposited in Christ um in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and
• 14:17
  knowledge doesn't mean here hidden in the sense of not not not seen at all or absolutely hidden out of
• 14:23
  view what he means I think he's borrowing again the language of of um of these mystics of these false
• 14:31
  teachers who themselves were saying well we can show you the mysteries we can show you the hidden
• 14:36
  mysteries you need to follow our directions before you can come into knowing about God and knowing about
• 14:41
  salvation and Paul is saying that's all deposited in Christ already and they are hidden in the sense of
• 14:47
  deposited already in him it's all there in him
• 14:51
  it's been essentially revealed by God now that's an important point in itself because there are no
• 15:03
  essential truths from God out with Christ there are no essential truths from God that are to do with
• 15:14
  God's salvation out with Christ Christ has himself he is himself the place where the wisdom where the
• 15:23
  mystery where the treasure of wisdom or knowledge and knowledge are already deposited God's salvation
• 15:29
  salvation in Christ he's saying to them this is what you need this is all you need this is really
• 15:34
  the complete Christ and you are complete in him remember that remember that when other groups in today's
• 15:43
  world will tell you you know you you people are very backward you should really add this or add that
• 15:48
  add speaking in tongues add this that and the other to what you already experienced you've got something
• 15:54
  already yes that's good but you need to add other things before you can go further in your
• 15:58
  spiritual experience no the apostle is saying the bible is saying you already have everything in
• 16:03
  Christ you already have the holy spirit in you if you're a believer and when you have the holy spirit
• 16:08
  in you and you have the these treasures of wisdom and knowledge in Christ there is no essential truth
• 16:14
  out with that it's all there for you already that's why the struggle that he has in prayer for them
• 16:23
  is that they'll come to the full assurance and understanding of all of these things of the gospel and of the salvation
• 16:31
  that is in Christ now you see how love and unity in the truth are combined together unity involves both love
• 16:42
  and truth love for God and love for each other and truth that is to say the truth that God has revealed
• 16:49
  in the gospel and we need to keep these together
• 16:52
  in the gospel and we need to keep these together
• 16:53
  because love needs to be given structure for it to be love in the biblical sense
• 17:01
  and what is it that gives love structure it is the truth of God
• 17:05
  if you detach love or the idea of love from the from the Bible from the truth of God
• 17:12
  you've no longer got a structure to your love and love needs a structure and has a structure to it
• 17:20
  because it's come it is it is the love that God is revealing to us that that Christians are to have
• 17:28
  for him and for one another it's love that's embedded in the truth of God the truth is foundational truth to it
• 17:34
  and that structure and purpose is given by the truth of God in other words if you go by Paul's by by Paul's teaching here
• 17:47
  if you go by the whole of the Bible essentially it actually demolishes this daft idea that you have in the world today that love is love
• 17:57
  what is that saying it's not really saying very much because love then is up to yourself how you define it
• 18:04
  the structure that you give it is really nothing more than your own idea of what love is
• 18:09
  and even if it's the most debauched thing in the teaching of the Bible and you call it love
• 18:14
  love is love is what we're told well that of course is nonsense
• 18:18
  there is no structure to that there is no basis to that
• 18:23
  nothing living to that except people's own wishful thinking and all people's own prejudices or predilections
• 18:31
  love is love only when it is love in the truth and love of the truth and love structured by the truth
• 18:43
  and sadly our world and I'm not excluding aspects of the church in our world
• 18:50
  no longer hold to this wonderful wonderful teaching of the Bible that love is as God himself defines it
• 19:01
  or else it ceases to be love in that true sense
• 19:05
  the ideology love is love is really love based on my truth my idea of truth what I make truth to be for myself
• 19:19
  and that's just hopeless it leads to despair it leads to lifestyles that are simply completely out of control at times
• 19:30
  and certainly out of sync with the Bible's teaching
• 19:33
  so friends there is love and truth together and unity in love and in truth which is what we ourselves prize
• 19:45
  not just unity for its own sake but unity in love a unity which begins in the heart
• 19:53
  or which issues from the heart in love and a love which is structured by the truth of God
• 20:01
  and has substance to it because of that
• 20:05
  but secondly verse 4 briefly look at what he says here
• 20:09
  this I say in order that no one may delude you with plausible arguments
• 20:17
  now he's been speaking of a unity in love and in the truth
• 20:20
  and now he's moving to something connected to that unity threatened by plausible arguments
• 20:26
  I am writing this to you in order that no one may delude you
• 20:31
  and that really means to be deceived to be deluded or even to be self-deceived
• 20:36
  because very often false teaching is very persuasive
• 20:44
  and that's why he's calling here the misleading of the mind
• 20:50
  the mind being actually led away from what it should be focused on
• 20:56
  me saying being deluded with plausible arguments
• 21:02
  heresy can be very very plausible
• 21:05
  and those who present heresy to us can have very very plausible ways of doing it
• 21:13
  they can sometimes sadly be much more friendly than genuine Christians trying to represent the truth as it is in Christ
• 21:23
  but plausible arguments
• 21:26
  are no substitute for knowing the truth
• 21:29
  not that the truth need to be seen as an implausible or impossible to set it forth as a plausible argument
• 21:39
  what he's saying is there is such a thing in heresy
• 21:43
  such a thing in untruth such a thing in false teaching as plausible arguments
• 21:49
  because error is so often appealing
• 21:51
  and it's designed to catch the mind
• 21:55
  that's why verse 7 there is so crucial
• 21:58
  you see what he's saying there in verse 7
• 22:00
  as you received Christ Jesus so walk in him
• 22:04
  rooted and built up in him
• 22:07
  and established in the faith
• 22:09
  just as you were taught
• 22:11
  he's saying there there's there's the faith
• 22:14
  there's the truth of God
• 22:15
  you are established
• 22:17
  you're built up in the faith
• 22:18
  that's your foundation
• 22:20
  the truth of God
• 22:22
  and so on the basis of that
• 22:23
  you walk
• 22:24
  you live out your life
• 22:25
  you conduct yourself
• 22:27
  and it's important for us all tonight
• 22:33
  that we see to it that we are not weak
• 22:37
  in our understanding of God's vital truth
• 22:41
  because if we don't make the effort
• 22:44
  if we don't try and keep filling our minds with God's truth
• 22:49
  that's partly why we're here tonight
• 22:51
  it's part of our worship
• 22:52
  to actually receive
• 22:54
  we trust a greater understanding of what the word of God is saying to us
• 22:57
  the spiritual food for our souls
• 23:00
  because if we're weak in that sense
• 23:02
  if we just neglect feeding our souls spiritually and God's truth
• 23:06
  then we're going to be open
• 23:09
  to the plausible arguments
• 23:12
  of heresy
• 23:13
  or of the world
• 23:14
  and that's why it's so important
• 23:17
  to have a greater grasp of truth today than I had yesterday
• 23:21
  because the more you have
• 23:24
  strength and the more you have
• 23:26
  this grasp of God's truth increasingly
• 23:29
  the less likely it is
• 23:31
  that plausible arguments will lead you away
• 23:34
  from the truth as it is in Christ
• 23:36
  I'm writing this
• 23:37
  I'm saying this he says to you
• 23:39
  in order that no one may delude you
• 23:41
  with plausible arguments
• 23:43
  whenever you find something
• 23:47
  that just doesn't feel right to you
• 23:49
  doesn't that doesn't seem to be just quite in accordance with it
• 23:53
  where do you take it
• 23:54
  you take it to the truth of God
• 23:55
  you take it to the Bible
• 23:56
  you measure it against the truth
• 23:58
  as God has revealed it
• 24:00
  and not just in in the Bible itself
• 24:02
  but as countless generations of faithful Christians
• 24:06
  and theologians through to Christ
• 24:09
  have given the church the distilled wisdom that you find
• 24:13
  in the church's creeds and confessions
• 24:16
  and commentaries and so on
• 24:17
  fill your mind with that
• 24:19
  let that be the structure
• 24:22
  that really brings stability to your hearts
• 24:25
  to your lives
• 24:27
  and then you'll be buttressed
• 24:30
  you'll then be defended
• 24:31
  you'll be built up against
• 24:32
  the plausible arguments of heresy
• 24:35
  that are designed to lead you away
• 24:37
  remember heresy is always designed
• 24:40
  to lead you away from the truth
• 24:42
  doesn't matter what kind of heresy it is
• 24:45
  that's what's at the heart of it
• 24:47
  that's what the purpose of it is
• 24:49
  heresy is ultimately from the enemy of the church
• 24:52
  and even if there are many truths
• 24:56
  along with the main untruth that's being presented
• 25:00
  it's still hugely damaging
• 25:01
  so unity threatened by plausible arguments
• 25:07
  and he's saying
• 25:07
  I'm saying this in order that no one may delude you
• 25:10
  so that you will have this encouragement
• 25:12
  so that you will be knitted together in love
• 25:14
  or being knitted together in love
• 25:16
  that you will reach full understanding
• 25:18
  and assurance of the knowledge
• 25:20
  of God's mystery
• 25:22
  which is Christ
• 25:23
  study Christ
• 25:24
  study the gospel
• 25:25
  study
• 25:26
  everything that you see revealed
• 25:29
  to do with your salvation in Christ
• 25:31
  but then finally this
• 25:33
  unity
• 25:34
  is not just in love and in truth
• 25:36
  unity threatened by plausible arguments
• 25:39
  unity
• 25:39
  is a cause of rejoicing
• 25:42
  see what he's saying
• 25:43
  finally in verse 5
• 25:44
  though I'm absent in body
• 25:46
  yet I'm with you in spirit
• 25:47
  rejoicing to see
• 25:50
  your good order
• 25:51
  and the firmness of your faith
• 25:53
  in Christ
• 25:54
  Paul is not with them
• 25:56
  in person
• 25:58
  but he's very much with them
• 26:00
  in mind and spirit
• 26:01
  and as he's with them in spirit
• 26:04
  in mind
• 26:04
  that's why he's saying
• 26:05
  this is my great struggle for you
• 26:07
  I'm with you
• 26:09
  I'm in support of you
• 26:10
  I'm there to encourage you
• 26:11
  I'm there to
• 26:13
  give you the comfort
• 26:15
  and the stability
• 26:17
  that you need to go on
• 26:18
  as you've begun
• 26:19
  walk in Christ
• 26:20
  as you began
• 26:21
  in Christ
• 26:22
  now he's using here
• 26:25
  military terms
• 26:26
  another favourite
• 26:27
  metaphor of the apostle
• 26:29
  along with athletic terms
• 26:31
  was military terms
• 26:32
  and when he's talking here
• 26:33
  about good order
• 26:34
  and firmness
• 26:36
  he's borrowing that
• 26:37
  from the military world
• 26:39
  where you find
• 26:40
  what you might call
• 26:42
  closed ranks
• 26:44
  against the enemy
• 26:45
  an efficient army
• 26:47
  under attack
• 26:48
  will close ranks
• 26:49
  they won't leave gaps
• 26:50
  that's where the unity
• 26:51
  comes in
• 26:52
  but here he's saying
• 26:53
  I rejoice to see
• 26:55
  your good order
• 26:56
  and the firmness
• 26:57
  of your faith
• 26:58
  in Christ
• 26:58
  that you're maintaining
• 26:59
  that you're maintaining
• 27:02
  this unity
• 27:03
  in love
• 27:04
  and in truth
• 27:06
  and the terms
• 27:08
  that he uses
• 27:09
  there
• 27:09
  remind us
• 27:10
  that
• 27:10
  the greatest
• 27:12
  threat
• 27:13
  to the gospel
• 27:14
  and to our own
• 27:16
  spiritual progress
• 27:17
  and to the well-being
• 27:18
  of any congregation
• 27:19
  of people
• 27:20
  is always
• 27:21
  from inside
• 27:22
  the greatest threat
• 27:25
  is always
• 27:26
  from inside
• 27:27
  that's where it begins
• 27:30
  that's where disunity
• 27:31
  begins
• 27:31
  that's where heresy
• 27:33
  begins
• 27:33
  and so he's saying
• 27:36
  be sure
• 27:37
  that what you're doing
• 27:38
  is like me
• 27:39
  struggling
• 27:40
  in prayer
• 27:42
  putting all the effort
• 27:43
  that you need
• 27:44
  and have opportunity
• 27:45
  for
• 27:46
  so that you may be
• 27:47
  encouraged
• 27:48
  knit together in love
• 27:49
  that you reach
• 27:50
  all the riches
• 27:51
  of full assurance
• 27:52
  of understanding
• 27:53
  and the knowledge
• 27:54
  of God's mystery
• 27:55
  which is Christ
• 27:56
  this Christ
• 27:57
  not any Christ
• 27:59
  of human imagining
• 28:00
  not the Christ
• 28:01
  of the heretics
• 28:01
  but this Christ
• 28:03
  the Christ
• 28:04
  in which God
• 28:05
  has revealed
• 28:06
  all the treasure
• 28:07
  and deposited them
• 28:08
  in him
• 28:08
  of wisdom
• 28:09
  and knowledge
• 28:11
  and rejoicing
• 28:12
  friends
• 28:13
  we're blessed
• 28:15
  with unity
• 28:16
  nothing's perfect
• 28:18
  no church
• 28:20
  in the world
• 28:21
  has a perfect unity
• 28:22
  but we're blessed
• 28:24
  with unity
• 28:24
  we're together
• 28:26
  we serve the Lord
• 28:27
  we're together
• 28:28
  we seek each of us
• 28:29
  to contribute
• 28:30
  to the overall
• 28:31
  well-being
• 28:32
  of the congregation
• 28:32
  and indeed
• 28:33
  of the wider
• 28:34
  cause of Christ
• 28:35
  and that is
• 28:37
  cause for rejoicing
• 28:39
  cause for thankfulness
• 28:42
  yes we
• 28:43
  we seek certainly
• 28:45
  to be
• 28:45
  defended
• 28:47
  or defend ourselves
• 28:48
  against
• 28:49
  plausible arguments
• 28:51
  that are heretical
• 28:54
  that will lead us
• 28:55
  away from the truth
• 28:56
  but we rejoice
• 28:58
  when God has blessed us
• 29:00
  with good order
• 29:02
  and firmness
• 29:03
  with unity
• 29:04
  in the things
• 29:06
  of his salvation
• 29:07
  and his praise
• 29:09
  so may God
• 29:10
  bless these thoughts
• 29:11
  and Fstand
• 29:17
  say
• 29:18
  I'll stop
• 29:18
  letting Him
• 29:18
  tell
• 29:19
  people
• 29:20
  are
• 29:20
  can't
• 29:29
  in the
• 29:29
  verse
