WEBVTT 00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:03.700 Hello, this is Father Paul, and I'm glad we're 00:00:03.700 --> 00:00:05.740 taking this journey together to read the Bible 00:00:05.740 --> 00:00:09.080 in a year. Today, we read the epistle of St. 00:00:09.220 --> 00:00:13.740 Paul to Titus, chapters 1 to 3, as well as his 00:00:13.740 --> 00:00:16.760 second epistle to Timothy, also known as his 00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:22.699 farewell epistle, chapters 1 to 4. Titus, chapter 00:00:22.699 --> 00:00:26.989 1. Paul, a bondservant of God. and an apostle 00:00:26.989 --> 00:00:30.190 of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's 00:00:30.190 --> 00:00:32.990 elect and the acknowledgement of the truth which 00:00:32.990 --> 00:00:35.909 accords with godliness, in hope of eternal life, 00:00:36.090 --> 00:00:39.390 which God, who cannot lie, promised before time 00:00:39.390 --> 00:00:42.890 began, but has in due time manifested his word 00:00:42.890 --> 00:00:45.289 through preaching, which was committed to me 00:00:45.289 --> 00:00:47.729 according to the commandment of God our Savior, 00:00:47.969 --> 00:00:52.030 to Titus, a true son in our common faith, grace, 00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:55.399 mercy and peace, from God the Father and the 00:00:55.399 --> 00:00:59.200 Lord Jesus Christ our Savior. For this reason 00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:01.840 I left you in Crete, that you should set in order 00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:04.459 the things that are lacking, and appoint elders 00:01:04.459 --> 00:01:07.819 in every city, as I commanded you. If a man is 00:01:07.819 --> 00:01:11.000 blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful 00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:14.579 children not accused of dissipation or insubordination. 00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:17.739 For a bishop must be blameless, as a steward 00:01:17.739 --> 00:01:20.810 of God, not self -willed. not quick -tempered, 00:01:20.950 --> 00:01:24.209 not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for 00:01:24.209 --> 00:01:27.189 money, but hospitable, a lover of what is good, 00:01:27.329 --> 00:01:31.129 sober -minded, just, holy, self -controlled, 00:01:31.370 --> 00:01:34.530 holding fast the faithful word as he has been 00:01:34.530 --> 00:01:37.609 taught, that he may be able, by sound doctrine, 00:01:37.790 --> 00:01:41.269 both to exhort and convict those who contradict. 00:01:41.750 --> 00:01:45.549 For there are many insubordinate, both idle talkers 00:01:45.549 --> 00:01:48.530 and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision. 00:01:48.859 --> 00:01:51.719 whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole 00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:54.519 households, teaching things which they ought 00:01:54.519 --> 00:01:58.219 not, for the sake of dishonest gain. One of them, 00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:01.659 a prophet of their own, said, Cretans are always 00:02:01.659 --> 00:02:05.500 liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons. This testimony 00:02:05.500 --> 00:02:08.960 is true. Therefore, rebuke them sharply, that 00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:11.919 they may be sound in the faith, not giving heed 00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:14.719 to Jewish fables and commandments of men who 00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:17.780 turn from the truth. To the pure all things are 00:02:17.780 --> 00:02:20.900 pure. But to those who are defiled and unbelieving, 00:02:21.020 --> 00:02:24.199 nothing is pure. But even their mind and conscience 00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:27.580 are defiled. They profess to know God, but in 00:02:27.580 --> 00:02:31.139 works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, 00:02:31.180 --> 00:02:36.340 and disqualified for every good work. Chapter 00:02:36.340 --> 00:02:39.479 2 But as for you, speak the things which are 00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:42.000 proper for sound doctrine, that the older men 00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:45.740 be sober, reverent, temperate, sound in faith, 00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:49.080 in love, in patience. The older women likewise, 00:02:49.379 --> 00:02:52.580 that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, 00:02:52.580 --> 00:02:55.719 not given too much wine, teachers of good things, 00:02:55.860 --> 00:02:58.599 that they admonish the young women to love their 00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:01.500 husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, 00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:05.259 chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own 00:03:05.259 --> 00:03:08.479 husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed. 00:03:09.129 --> 00:03:12.050 Likewise, exhort the young men to be sober -minded, 00:03:12.270 --> 00:03:14.930 in all things showing yourself to be a pattern 00:03:14.930 --> 00:03:17.650 of good works, in doctrine showing integrity, 00:03:18.129 --> 00:03:21.430 reverence, incorruptibility, sound speech that 00:03:21.430 --> 00:03:24.550 cannot be condemned, that one who is an opponent 00:03:24.550 --> 00:03:27.710 may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say of 00:03:27.710 --> 00:03:30.909 you. Exhort bond -servants to be obedient to 00:03:30.909 --> 00:03:33.389 their own masters, to be well -pleasing in all 00:03:33.389 --> 00:03:36.610 things, not answering back, not pilfering, but 00:03:36.610 --> 00:03:39.439 showing all good fidelity. that they may adorn 00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:42.300 the doctrine of God our Savior in all things. 00:03:42.500 --> 00:03:45.460 For the grace of God that brings salvation has 00:03:45.460 --> 00:03:48.759 appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying 00:03:48.759 --> 00:03:51.580 ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live 00:03:51.580 --> 00:03:54.580 soberly, righteously, and godly in the present 00:03:54.580 --> 00:03:57.240 age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious 00:03:57.240 --> 00:04:00.810 appearing of our great God and Savior. Jesus 00:04:00.810 --> 00:04:03.830 Christ, who gave himself for us, that he might 00:04:03.830 --> 00:04:06.629 redeem us from every lawless deed and purify 00:04:06.629 --> 00:04:10.090 for himself his own special people, zealous for 00:04:10.090 --> 00:04:13.729 good works. Speak these things, exhort and rebuke 00:04:13.729 --> 00:04:20.930 with all authority. Let no one despise you. Remind 00:04:20.930 --> 00:04:22.769 them to be subject to rulers and authorities, 00:04:23.110 --> 00:04:26.170 to obey, to be ready for every good work, to 00:04:26.170 --> 00:04:29.389 speak evil of no one, to be peaceable. gentle, 00:04:29.529 --> 00:04:32.769 showing all humility to all men. For we ourselves 00:04:32.769 --> 00:04:36.329 were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, 00:04:36.730 --> 00:04:40.029 serving various lusts and pleasures, living in 00:04:40.029 --> 00:04:42.930 malice and envy, hateful and hating one another. 00:04:43.350 --> 00:04:45.629 But when the kindness and the love of God our 00:04:45.629 --> 00:04:48.949 Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness 00:04:48.949 --> 00:04:52.050 which we have done, but according to His mercy, 00:04:52.170 --> 00:04:54.709 He saved us, through the washing of regeneration 00:04:54.709 --> 00:04:58.300 and renewing of the Holy Spirit. whom he poured 00:04:58.300 --> 00:05:01.160 out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our 00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:04.180 Savior, that having been justified by his grace, 00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:06.779 we should become heirs according to the hope 00:05:06.779 --> 00:05:10.379 of eternal life. This is a faithful saying, and 00:05:10.379 --> 00:05:13.000 these things I want you to affirm constantly, 00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:16.000 that those who have believed in God should be 00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:18.500 careful to maintain good works. These things 00:05:18.500 --> 00:05:22.279 are good and profitable to men. But avoid foolish 00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:26.040 disputes, genealogies, contentions, and strivings 00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:28.839 about the law, for they are unprofitable and 00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:32.300 useless. Reject a divisive man after the first 00:05:32.300 --> 00:05:35.079 and second admonition, knowing that such a person 00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:37.759 is warped and sinning, being self -condemned. 00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:41.980 When I send Artemis to you, or Tychicus, be diligent 00:05:41.980 --> 00:05:45.100 to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided 00:05:45.100 --> 00:05:48.329 to spend the winter there. Send Zenos the lawyer 00:05:48.329 --> 00:05:51.250 and Apollos on their journey with haste, that 00:05:51.250 --> 00:05:53.970 they may lack nothing. And let our people also 00:05:53.970 --> 00:05:56.529 learn to maintain good works, to meet urgent 00:05:56.529 --> 00:06:00.110 needs, that they may not be unfruitful. All who 00:06:00.110 --> 00:06:02.850 are with me greet you. Greet those who love us 00:06:02.850 --> 00:06:09.310 in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen. 2 00:06:09.310 --> 00:06:13.670 Timothy chapter 1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ 00:06:13.670 --> 00:06:16.009 by the will of God, according to the promise 00:06:16.009 --> 00:06:18.910 of life, which is in Christ Jesus, to Timothy, 00:06:19.129 --> 00:06:22.850 a beloved son. Grace, mercy, and peace from God 00:06:22.850 --> 00:06:26.209 the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. I thank 00:06:26.209 --> 00:06:29.290 God, whom I serve with a pure conscience, as 00:06:29.290 --> 00:06:32.589 my forefathers did, as without ceasing I remember 00:06:32.589 --> 00:06:36.029 you in my prayers night and day, greatly desiring 00:06:36.029 --> 00:06:38.930 to see you, being mindful of your tears, that 00:06:38.930 --> 00:06:41.730 I may be filled with joy, when I call to remembrance 00:06:41.730 --> 00:06:45.319 the genuine faith that is in you. which dwelt 00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:48.000 first in your grandmother Lois and your mother 00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:51.680 Eunice, and I am persuaded is in you also. Therefore 00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:54.420 I remind you to stir up the gift of God which 00:06:54.420 --> 00:06:56.839 is in you through the laying on of my hands. 00:06:57.019 --> 00:07:00.060 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but 00:07:00.060 --> 00:07:03.720 of power and of love and of a sound mind. Therefore 00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:06.600 do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, 00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:09.870 nor of me his prisoner. But share with me in 00:07:09.870 --> 00:07:12.230 the sufferings for the gospel according to the 00:07:12.230 --> 00:07:14.970 power of God, who has saved us and called us 00:07:14.970 --> 00:07:17.990 with a holy calling, not according to our works, 00:07:18.069 --> 00:07:21.230 but according to his own purpose and grace which 00:07:21.230 --> 00:07:24.209 was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began. 00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:27.160 but has now been revealed by the appearing of 00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:30.120 our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death 00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:33.199 and brought life and immortality to light through 00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:35.759 the gospel, to which I was appointed a preacher, 00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:38.959 an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles. For 00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:41.680 this reason I also suffer these things. Nevertheless, 00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:45.519 I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed 00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:48.579 and am persuaded that he is able to keep what 00:07:48.579 --> 00:07:51.509 I have committed to him until that day. Hold 00:07:51.509 --> 00:07:54.290 fast the pattern of sound words which you have 00:07:54.290 --> 00:07:57.310 heard from me in faith and love which are in 00:07:57.310 --> 00:07:59.810 Christ Jesus, that good thing which was committed 00:07:59.810 --> 00:08:02.649 to you, keep by the Holy Spirit who dwells in 00:08:02.649 --> 00:08:06.209 us. This you know, that all those in Asia have 00:08:06.209 --> 00:08:09.089 turned away from me, among whom are Phagellus 00:08:09.089 --> 00:08:12.550 and Hermogenes. The Lord grant mercy to the household 00:08:12.550 --> 00:08:15.850 of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me and 00:08:15.850 --> 00:08:18.879 was not ashamed of my chain. But when he arrived 00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:21.459 in Rome, he sought me out very zealously and 00:08:21.459 --> 00:08:24.480 found me. The Lord grant to him that he may find 00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:27.139 mercy from the Lord in that day. And you know 00:08:27.139 --> 00:08:30.240 very well how many ways he ministered to me at 00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:49.840 Ephesus. You therefore must endure hardship as 00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:52.700 a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No one engaged 00:08:52.700 --> 00:08:55.320 in warfare entangles himself with the affairs 00:08:55.320 --> 00:08:58.379 of this life, that he may please him who enlisted 00:08:58.379 --> 00:09:01.659 him as a soldier. And also if anyone competes 00:09:01.659 --> 00:09:04.820 in athletics, he is not crowned unless he competes 00:09:04.820 --> 00:09:07.259 according to the rules. The hardworking farmer 00:09:07.259 --> 00:09:10.720 must be first to partake of the crops. Consider 00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:13.200 what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding 00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:16.750 in all things. Remember that Jesus Christ Of 00:09:16.750 --> 00:09:19.730 the seed of David was raised from the dead according 00:09:19.730 --> 00:09:22.750 to my gospel, for which I suffer trouble as an 00:09:22.750 --> 00:09:25.950 evildoer, even to the point of chains. But the 00:09:25.950 --> 00:09:28.750 word of God is not chained. Therefore I endure 00:09:28.750 --> 00:09:31.350 all things for the sake of the elect, that they 00:09:31.350 --> 00:09:34.070 also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ 00:09:34.070 --> 00:09:37.330 Jesus with eternal glory. This is a faithful 00:09:37.330 --> 00:09:40.350 saying. For if we died with him, we shall also 00:09:40.350 --> 00:09:43.330 live with him. If we endure, we shall also reign 00:09:43.330 --> 00:09:46.259 with him. If we deny him, he also will deny us. 00:09:46.299 --> 00:09:49.820 If we are faithless, he remains faithful. He 00:09:49.820 --> 00:09:53.620 cannot deny himself. Remind them of these things, 00:09:53.820 --> 00:09:57.259 charging them before the Lord not to strive about 00:09:57.259 --> 00:10:00.220 words to no profit, to the ruin of the hearers. 00:10:00.340 --> 00:10:03.620 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, 00:10:03.779 --> 00:10:07.289 a worker who does not need to be ashamed. rightly 00:10:07.289 --> 00:10:10.610 dividing the word of truth. But shun profane 00:10:10.610 --> 00:10:13.250 and idle babblings, for they will increase to 00:10:13.250 --> 00:10:15.830 more ungodliness, and their message will spread 00:10:15.830 --> 00:10:19.610 like cancer. Hymenaeus and Philetus are of this 00:10:19.610 --> 00:10:22.029 sort, who have strayed concerning the truth, 00:10:22.230 --> 00:10:24.210 saying that the resurrection is already past, 00:10:24.450 --> 00:10:27.309 and they overthrow the faith of some. Nevertheless, 00:10:27.710 --> 00:10:31.009 the solid foundation of God stands, having this 00:10:31.009 --> 00:10:35.090 seal, the Lord knows those who are his, and Let 00:10:35.090 --> 00:10:37.769 everyone who names the name of Christ depart 00:10:37.769 --> 00:10:40.970 from iniquity. But in a great house there are 00:10:40.970 --> 00:10:43.789 not only vessels of gold and silver, but also 00:10:43.789 --> 00:10:47.090 of wood and clay, some for honor and some for 00:10:47.090 --> 00:10:49.809 dishonor. Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself 00:10:49.809 --> 00:10:52.850 from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, 00:10:52.929 --> 00:10:56.250 sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared 00:10:56.250 --> 00:10:59.490 for every good work. Flee also youthful lusts, 00:10:59.490 --> 00:11:03.139 but pursue righteousness, faith, love. peace 00:11:03.139 --> 00:11:05.940 with those who call on the Lord out of a pure 00:11:05.940 --> 00:11:08.720 heart. But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, 00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:12.480 knowing that they generate strife. And a servant 00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:15.059 of the Lord must not quarrel, but be gentle to 00:11:15.059 --> 00:11:18.779 all, able to teach, patient, in humility correcting 00:11:18.779 --> 00:11:22.080 those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will 00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:24.620 grant them repentance, so that they may know 00:11:24.620 --> 00:11:27.220 the truth, and that they may come to their senses 00:11:27.220 --> 00:11:29.940 and escape the snare of the devil, having been 00:11:29.940 --> 00:11:35.570 taken captive by him. To do his will. Chapter 00:11:35.570 --> 00:12:02.850 3 Lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 00:12:03.049 --> 00:12:06.409 having a form of godliness but denying its power, 00:12:06.629 --> 00:12:10.230 and from such people turn away. For of this sort 00:12:10.230 --> 00:12:12.870 are those who creep into households and make 00:12:12.870 --> 00:12:15.950 captives of gullible women, loaded down with 00:12:15.950 --> 00:12:19.889 sins, led away by various lusts, always learning 00:12:19.889 --> 00:12:22.210 and never able to come to the knowledge of the 00:12:22.210 --> 00:12:25.509 truth. Now as Jans and Jambors resisted Moses, 00:12:25.850 --> 00:12:29.129 so do these also resist the truth, men of corrupt 00:12:29.129 --> 00:12:32.389 minds. This approved concerning the faith, but 00:12:32.389 --> 00:12:34.809 they will progress no further, for their folly 00:12:34.809 --> 00:12:37.850 will be manifest to all, as theirs also was. 00:12:38.269 --> 00:12:40.710 But you have carefully followed my doctrine, 00:12:40.889 --> 00:12:44.649 manner of life, purpose, faith, long -suffering, 00:12:44.850 --> 00:12:48.649 love, perseverance, persecutions, afflictions, 00:12:48.649 --> 00:12:51.409 which happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, 00:12:51.509 --> 00:12:55.309 at Lystra. What persecutions I endured, and out 00:12:55.309 --> 00:12:58.639 of them all the Lord delivered me. Yes, and all 00:12:58.639 --> 00:13:01.440 who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will 00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:05.259 suffer persecution. But evil men and imposters 00:13:05.259 --> 00:13:08.360 will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being 00:13:08.360 --> 00:13:10.940 deceived. But you must continue in the things 00:13:10.940 --> 00:13:13.860 which you have learned and been assured of, knowing 00:13:13.860 --> 00:13:16.539 from whom you have learned them, and that from 00:13:16.539 --> 00:13:18.720 childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, 00:13:18.940 --> 00:13:21.240 which are able to make you wise for salvation 00:13:21.240 --> 00:13:25.159 through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture 00:13:25.159 --> 00:13:28.220 is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable 00:13:28.220 --> 00:13:31.960 for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for 00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:34.360 instruction in righteousness, that the man of 00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:37.460 God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for 00:13:37.460 --> 00:13:43.820 every good work. I charge you therefore before 00:13:43.820 --> 00:13:46.460 God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge 00:13:46.460 --> 00:13:48.799 the living and the dead at his appearing and 00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:52.480 his kingdom. Preach the word. Be ready in season 00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:56.480 and out of season. convince, rebuke, exhort, 00:13:56.500 --> 00:13:59.340 with all longsuffering and teaching. For the 00:13:59.340 --> 00:14:01.840 time will come when they will not endure sound 00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:04.299 doctrine, but according to their own desires. 00:14:04.620 --> 00:14:07.200 Because they have itching ears, they will heap 00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:09.899 up for themselves teachers, and they will turn 00:14:09.899 --> 00:14:12.580 their ears away from the truth, and be turned 00:14:12.580 --> 00:14:15.820 aside to fables. But you be watchful in all things, 00:14:16.019 --> 00:14:19.179 endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, 00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:22.399 fulfill your ministry. For I am already being 00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:25.080 poured out as a drink offering, and the time 00:14:25.080 --> 00:14:28.039 of my departure is at hand. I have fought the 00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:30.820 good fight, I have finished the race, I have 00:14:30.820 --> 00:14:33.779 kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for 00:14:33.779 --> 00:14:36.379 me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, 00:14:36.539 --> 00:14:39.519 the righteous judge, will give to me on that 00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:42.840 day, and not to me only, but also to all who 00:14:42.840 --> 00:14:46.019 have loved his appearing. Be diligent to come 00:14:46.019 --> 00:14:48.659 to me quickly, for the mass has forsaken me. 00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:51.679 having loved this present world, and has departed 00:14:51.679 --> 00:14:55.860 for Thessalonica. Crescents for Galatia, Titus 00:14:55.860 --> 00:14:59.360 for Dalmatia. Only Luke is with me. Get Mark 00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:01.940 and bring him with you, for he is useful to me 00:15:01.940 --> 00:15:05.059 for ministry. Antichicus I have sent to Ephesus. 00:15:05.259 --> 00:15:08.080 Bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas 00:15:08.080 --> 00:15:10.799 when you come, and the books, especially the 00:15:10.799 --> 00:15:13.940 parchments. Alexander the coppersmith did me 00:15:13.940 --> 00:15:16.600 much harm. May the Lord repay him according to 00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:19.899 his works. You also must beware of him, for he 00:15:19.899 --> 00:15:23.440 has greatly resisted our words. At my first defense, 00:15:23.679 --> 00:15:26.879 no one stood with me, but all forsook me. May 00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:29.720 it not be charged against them. But the Lord 00:15:29.720 --> 00:15:32.200 stood with me and strengthened me, so that the 00:15:32.200 --> 00:15:35.019 message might be preached fully through me, and 00:15:35.019 --> 00:15:37.700 that all the Gentiles might hear. Also I was 00:15:37.700 --> 00:15:40.440 delivered out of the mouth of the lion. and the 00:15:40.440 --> 00:15:43.360 Lord will deliver me from every evil work and 00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:45.980 preserve me for his heavenly kingdom. To him 00:15:45.980 --> 00:15:49.379 be glory forever and ever. Amen. Greet Prisca 00:15:49.379 --> 00:15:52.179 and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus. 00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:56.059 Erastus stayed in Corinth, but Trophimus I have 00:15:56.059 --> 00:15:59.360 left in Miletus sick. Do your utmost to come 00:15:59.360 --> 00:16:02.659 before winter. Eubulus greets you, as well as 00:16:02.659 --> 00:16:05.820 Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brethren. 00:16:06.200 --> 00:16:09.700 The Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace 00:16:09.700 --> 00:16:17.659 be with you. Ameen I hope you enjoyed today's 00:16:17.659 --> 00:16:19.980 reading as much as I did and I look forward to 00:16:19.980 --> 00:16:21.899 seeing you again tomorrow to continue on our 00:16:21.899 --> 00:16:24.019 journey. God bless you and have a great day.
