  Speaker 1: One Corinthians, chapter thirteen. If I speak in the tongues
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: of men or of angels, but do not have love,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: I am only a resounding gong or a clanging symbol.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: faith that can move mountains, but do not have love,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: I am nothing. If I give all I possess to
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: the poor, and give over my body to hardship, that
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Love is patient, Love is kind. It does not envy,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: It does not boast. It is not proud, It does
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: not dishonor others. It is not self seeking, It is
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: not easily angered. It keeps no record of wrongs. Love
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: It always protects all, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Where there are tongues, they will be stilled. Where there
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: and we prophesy in part. But when completeness comes, what
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: is in part disappears. When I was a child, I
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: talked like a child, I thought like a child, I
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: put the ways of childhood behind me. For now we
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: see only a reflection, as in a mirror. Then we
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: shall see face to face. Now I know in part.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Then I shall know fully even as I am fully known.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: And now these three remain faith, hope, and love. But
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: the greatest of these is love Romans chapter twelve. Therefore,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: pleasing to God. This is your true and proper worship.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: will be able to test and approve what God's will is,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: his good, pleasing and perfect will. For by the grace
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: given me, I say to every one of you, do
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: the faith God has distributed to each of you. For
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: just as each of us has one body with many members,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: and these members do not all have the same function,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: so in Christ. We, though many, form one body, and
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: each member belongs to all the others. We have different
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: gifts according to the grace given to each of us.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: your faith. If it is serving, then serve. If it
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: is teaching, then teach. If it is to encourage, then
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: give encouragement. If it is giving, then give generously. If
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: it is to lead, do it diligently. If it is
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: to show mercy, do it cheerfully. Love must be sincere
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: hate what is evil, cling to what is good. Be
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: faithful in prayer. Share with the Lord's people who are
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: in need. Practice hospitality. Bless those who persecute you. Bless
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice, mourn
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: with those who mourn. Live in harmony with one another.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: people of low position. Do not be conceited. Do not
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: repay any one evil for evil. Be careful to do
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: what is right in the eyes of every one. If
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: it is possible, as far as it depends on you,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: live at peace with every one. Do not take revenge,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: my dear friends, but leave room for God's wrath. For
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: it is written it is mine to avenge. I will repay,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: says the Lord. On the contrary, if your enemy is hungry,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: feed him. If he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: In doing this you will heap burning coals on his head.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: good Ephesians chapter two. As for you, you were dead
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: in your transgressions and sins in which you used to live,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: when you followed the ways of this world and of
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: who is now at work in those who are disobedient,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: all of us also lived among them at one time,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: of wrath. But because of his great love for us, God,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: even when we were dead in transgressions. It is by
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: grace you have been saved, and God raised us up
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: ages He might show the incomparable riches of His grace
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: it is by grace you have been saved through faith,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: and this is not from yourselves. It is the gift
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: of God, not by works, so that no one can boast,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: for we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: do good works which God prepared in advance for us
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: to do. Therefore, remember that formerly, you who are gentiles
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: by birth and called uncircumcised by those who call themselves
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: the circumcision which is done in the body by human hands,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Remember that at that time you were separate from Christ,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: excluded from citizenship in Israel, and foreigners to the covenants
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: of the Promise, without hope and without God in the world.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: But now in Christ Jesus, you who once were far away,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: He himself is our peace, who has made the two
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: of hostility by setting aside in his flesh the law,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: with its commands and regulations. His purpose was to create
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: making peace and in one body, to reconcile both of
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: them to God. Through the cross by which he put
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: to death their hostility. He came and preached peace to
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: you who were far away, and peace to those who
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: were near, For through him we both have access to
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: the Father by one spirit. Consequently, you are no longer
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God's people, and
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: also members of his household. Built on the foundation of
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: chief corner stone. In him, the whole building is joined
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: together and rises to become a holy temple. In the
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Lord and in him you too, You are being built
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: together to become a dwelling in which God lives by
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: his spirit. Galatians chapter five. It is for freedom that
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Mark my words, I Paul tell you that if you
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: to you at all. Again, I declare to every man
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: obey the whole law. You, who are trying to be
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: justified by the law, have been alienated from Christ. You
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: have fallen away from grace. For through the Spirit we
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: eagerly await by faith the righteousness for which we hope
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: for in Christ Jesus. Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: You were running a good race. Who cut in on
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: you to keep you from obeying the truth. That kind
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: of persuasion does not come from the one who calls
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: you a little yeast works through the whole batch of doe.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: I am confident in the Lord that you will take
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: no other view. The one who is throwing you into confusion,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: whoever that may be, will have to pay the penalty.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Brothers and sisters, If I am still preaching circumcision, why
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: am I still being persecuted? In that case, the offense
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: of the cross has been abolished. As for those agitators,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: I wish they would go the whole way and emasculate themselves. You,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh. Rather
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: serve one another humbly in love, for the entire law
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: is fulfilled. And keep this one command, Love your neighbor
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: as yourself. If you bite and devour each other, watch out,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: or you will be destroyed by each other. So I say,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: desires of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: contrary to the spirit, and the spirit what is contrary
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: so that you are not to do whatever you want.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: But if you are led by the spirit, you are
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: not under the law. The acts of the flesh are obvious,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery, idolatry and witchcraft, hatred, discord, jealousy,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy, drunkenness, orgies,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: and the like. I warn you, as I did before,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: that those who live like this will not inherit the
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: and self control. Against such things, there is no law.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: with its passions and desires. Since we live by the spirit,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: let us keep in step with the spirit. Let us
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: not become conceited, provoking and envying each other. Romans, chapter eight. Therefore,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: there is now no condemnation for those who are in
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus, the Law of the Spirit,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: who gives life, has set you free from the law
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: of sin and death. For what the law was powerless
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: to do, because it was weakened by the flesh, God
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: did by sending his own son in the likeness of
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: sinful flesh, to be a sin offering. And so he
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: condemned sin in the flesh in order that the righteous
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: requirement of the law might be fully met in us,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: who do not live according to the flesh, but according
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: to the Spirit. Those who live according to the flesh
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: have their minds set on what the flesh desires. But
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: minds set on what the Spirit desires. The mind governed
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: the spirit is life and peace. The mind governed by
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: the flesh is hostile to God. It does not submit
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: to God's law, nor can it do so. Those who
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God. You, however,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: are not in the realm of the flesh, but are
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: in the realm of the Spirit. If indeed, the Spirit
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: of God lives in you, and if any one does
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: not have the spirit of Christ, they do not belong
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: to Christ. But if Christ is in you, then even
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: though your body is subject to death because of sin,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: the spirit gives life because of righteousness. And if the
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: will also give life to your mortal bodies because of
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: His Spirit who lives in you. Therefore, brothers and sisters,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: we have an obligation, but it is not to the
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: flesh to live according to it. For if you live
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: according to the flesh, you will die. But if by
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: the spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: you will live. For those who are led by the
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Spirit of God are the children of God. The spirit
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: you received does not make you slaves so that you
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: live in fear again. Rather, the spirit you received brought
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: about your adoption to sonship, and by him we cry Abah, Father.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: God's children. Now, if we are children, then we are heirs,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: heirs of God and co errs with Christ. If indeed
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: we share in His sufferings in order that we may
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: also share in His glory, I consider that our present
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: be revealed in us. For the creation waits in eager
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: expectation for the children of God to be revealed. For
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: but by the will of the one who subjected it
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: glory of the children of God. We know that the
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: whole creation has been groaning, as in the pains of childbirth,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: right up to the present time. Not only so, but
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the spirit
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: grown inwards. As we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: the redemption of our bodies, for in this hope we
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: at all. Who hopes for what they already have. But
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: if we hope for what we do not yet have,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: we wait for it patiently. In the same way, the
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: intercedes for us through wordless groans. And he who searches
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: our hearts knows the mind of the spirit. Because the
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Spirit intercedes for God's people in accordance with the will
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: of God. And we know that in all things God
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: works for the good of those who love Him, who
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: have been called according to His purpose. For those God foreknew,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: He also predestined to be conformed to the image of
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: his son, that he might be the first born among
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: many brother and sisters. And those he predestined he also called.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Those he called he also justified, those he justified he
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: also glorified. What then, shall we say in response to
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: these things? If God is for us, who can be
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: against us? He who did not spare his own son,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: but gave him up for us all, how will he not, also,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: along with him, graciously give us all things, who will
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: bring any charge against those whom God has chosen. It
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: is God who justifies, who, then is the one who
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: condemns no one. Christ Jesus, who died more than that,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: who was raised to life, is at the right hand
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: of God and is also interceding for us. Who shall
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: separate us from the love of Christ, shall trouble or hardship,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger or sword,
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: as it is written, for your sake, we face death
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: all day long. We are considered as sheep to be slaughtered. No,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: in all these things we are more than conquerors through
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: nor anything else in all creation will be able to
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: separate us from the Love of God that is in Christ, Jesus,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: our Lord, Colossians, chapter three. Since then you have been
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: you also will appear with him in glory. Put to death. Therefore,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: whatever belongs to your earthly nature sexual, immorality, impurity, lust,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: evil desires, and greed, which is idolatry. Because of these
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: the wrath of God is coming. You used to walk
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: in these ways in the life you once lived, But
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: now you must also rid yourselves of all such things
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: as these anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language. From
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: your lips. Do not lie to each other, since you
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: have taken off your old self with its practices, and
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: have put on the new self, which is being renewed
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: in knowledge, in the image of its creator. Here there
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: is no gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, Barbarian Scythian,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: slave or free. But Christ is all, and it is
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: in all. Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Bear
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: with each other and forgive one another. If any of
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: you has a grievance against someone, forgive as the Lord
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: forgave you. And over all these virtues, put on love,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: which binds them all together in perfect unity. Let the
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: of one body, you were called to peace and be thankful.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: hymns and songs from the Spirit, singing to God, with
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: word or deed, do it all in the name of
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Wives,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: submit yourselves to your husbands as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Love your wives, and do not be harsh with them. Children.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: Obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord. Fathers.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged slaves.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Obey your earthly masters in everything, and do it not
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: only when their eye is on you and to curry
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: the Lord. Whatever you do, work at it with all
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: since you know that you will receive an inheritance from
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: you are serving. Anyone who does wrong will be repaid
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: for their wrongs, and there is no favoritism Philippians chapter four. Therefore,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: my brothers and sisters, you whom I love and long
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: for my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: In this way, dear friends, I plead with Euodea, and
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: I plead with Syntiche to be of the same mind
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: in the Lord. Yes, and I ask you, my true companion,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: help these women, since they have contended at my side
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: in the cause of the Gospel, along with Clement and
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: the rest of my co workers whose names are in
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: the Book of Life. Rejoice in the Lord always, I
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: will say it again. Rejoice. Let your gentleness be evident
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the Peace
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: of God, which trans and sins all understanding, will guard
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus Finally, Brothers
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: anything is excellent or praiseworthy, Think about such things. Whatever
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: you have learned or received or heard from me or
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: seen in me. Put it into practice, and the God
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: of Peace will be with you. I rejoiced greatly in
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: the Lord that at last you renewed your concern for me.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Indeed you were concerned, but you had no opportunity to
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: show it. I am not saying this because I am
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: in need, for I have learned to be content whatever
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need,
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: and I know what it is to have plenty. I
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: have learned the secret of being content in any and
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: plenty or in want. I can do all this through
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Him who gives me strength. Yet it was good of
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: you to share in my troubles. Moreover, as you Philippians know,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: in the early days of your acquaintance with the Gospel,
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: when I set out from Macedonia, not one church shared
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: with me in the matter of giving and receiving except
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: you only. For even when I was in Thessalonica, you
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: sent me aid more than once when I was in need.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Not that I desire your gifts. What I desire is
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: that more be credited to your account. I have received
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: full payment and have more than enough. I am amply
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: supplied now that I have received from Apaphroditis the gifts
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: you sent. They are a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: pleasing to God. And My God will meet all your
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: needs according to the riches of His glory. In Christ Jesus,
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: to our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: Greet all God's people in Christ Jesus. The brothers and
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: sisters who are with me send greetings. All God's people here,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: send you greetings, especially those who belong to Caesar's household.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
