So we are going through chapter 10. It is the part of this section that we entitle the Trinity Section. You see, for any newcomer, we have a section of the trinity, the whole world. ...and in the next section, part of chapter 13, and then in chapters 6 and 7 and 8, we have the next section, the sanctification of faith. Yes, because those who are brought up into a place of justification, God expects them to live Godly. ...and we have the sanctification of peace with Israel. ...and the book will end with that. ...daily after faith. ...this portion of the evening, because, you see, in verse 1, and then in verses 2 and 3, we have Paul, and then we have Peter. ...so that right truth, we have principles of truth. ...now in the center of this passage, this evening, and then, and then we turn to chapter 7. ...we have Paul speaking of faith poverty. This is very important for us. ...and then we have Paul's talk in heaven. ...and so that you can see what we've done to the Lord. ...and then we must put the beef off, of the meat. ...from this day

times... ...she heard my mother lie... ...lying in her next room... ...she would hear her old wife... ...every one of the children... ...and they're all in shock... ...they'll be looking for you at seven in the morning... ...looking for you at seven in the morning... ...don't come crawling... ...and remember... ...it's commonplace... ...an oldist cop... ...would give us a virgin... ...for our children... ...poorest of virgins in the nation... ...we put our hands on the virgin... ...all that we might get a virgin for... ...my wish that the nation... ...my oldest cop... ...when they're

positive... ...and good intention... ...care of the country... ...the school of Presbyterian... ...and the best... ...I could put off for the life... ...for the rest of my life... ...very well... ...so that you can see that Paul... ...has a virgin's heart... ...all this stuff here... ...I can take you back to... ...we had a bet... ...it doesn't look to me like that... ...and talk about

...I'm only trusting you... ...I'll trust you... ...he said... ...you know that was... ...you know he was really... ...oh the beehive... ...the beehive... ...they knew how to get it... ...he said... ...oh the pair of apples... ...you know what... ...I believe... ...we asked the Holy Ghost... ...the new power... ...whether you thought you were able to or not... ...no... ...oh... ...if you love the Virgin... ...you ought to have her... ...then you'll join me... ...you'll have to prefer me... ...now I want you to get this... ...it has venom... ...that's the thing isn't it... ...that is... ...I'm sure you... ...you're stuck... ...you know... ...you don't want to get in... ...you have to attempt to get in... ...you know you couldn't have any... ...watch this... ...this is it... ...in the... ...in the ocean... ...for the outcome... ...and you know he just prayed... ...he prayed out that night... ...just to counsel me... ...all this glory... ...anyway... ...look at this picture of... ...if you don't know what it means in Galatians... ...have a look at this... ...Galatians chapter 1... ...for death... ...for he has had... ...power beyond measure... ...wasted it... ...uncompetent... ...induced religion... ...being more... ...as seemingly... ...fairer... ...of the tradition... ...and that's what they're saying here... ...they're saying I bear some hair... ...you know there's a whole bunch of people here... ...they're saying... ...there's terror... ...even when the pattern... ...you know there's terror... ...that's all right... ...you put the hair in that picture... ...Paul has dropped out the book... ...the empty dead... ...lifeless religion... ...and it was totally finished... ...all you've got is a man... ...and a plate and a pot... ...and you'll go to hell for praying... ...and that's the zealousness... ...that it always turns out that... ...frankly they know what ignorance is about... ...but they know what ignorance is about... ...they talk to me... ...they say what is ignorance... ...and so I'm told they mustn't have done it... ...it says... ...that's the ambitiousness... ...then he raises it to the top... ...and he says... ...my... ...it was ruled upon... ...which whole life... ...put your name on it... ...you can have... ...try to teach another... ...you'll find others... ...I just lived in a place where I... ...not watching it... ...Paul said... ...and we've got Paul... ...and I believe... ...now here's Paul's persuasion of God... ...he says in verse 4... ...this is the end of the law... ...Paul was persuasive about money... ...you see Paul... ...unreleased... ...to the people all the time... ...dear if you haven't... ...you're on your own then... ...and you can only... ...here's the whole message... ...for Christ... ...is the end of... ...to everyone that believes... ...let me explain... ...he says... ...Paul that's very powerful isn't it... ...he's not beating about the bush... ...and then this is very powerful isn't it... ...for Christ is the end of the law... ...that's Paul... ...it is not a... ...you would say... ...it's not even the... ...you see that's very pointed... ...very powerful isn't it... ...but I want you to watch this... ...that's very precious isn't it... ...when I'm God's way... ...I stand in the right way... ...but I want you to get this... ...for Christ that mistake doesn't... ...it's the end of the law... ...for righteousness... ...to everyone that believes... ...it doesn't matter where you pass... ...they never pass to you... ...it's your faith... ...it's Paul... ...then you stand in the right way... ...it's God's way... ...put faith in the God's name... ...and just pray... ...he says this is the life of Christ... ...it's the end of the law... ...and he's praying again isn't he... ...which... ...that's very precious... ...but really... ...if you know where it is... ...because normally... ...life and the world comes before your heart... ...and says... ...every one of you from there... ...I'm not one of them... ...you remember the lady on the ship... ...that tackled Andrew... ...and she says... ...that she just sees the baby on the sun... ...is that how it is... ...did he ever say anything... ...that wasn't just exactly the truth... ...he just made a week ago... ...a million words this summer... ...did he ever say anything... ...did he ever just say... ...I'm not one of them... ...lady just... ...lady... ...doesn't need to look at the text... ...but the righteousness... ...but the righteousness... ...and you can hear he calls out to her... ...in verse 5... ...but the righteousness... ...but the righteousness which is of faith... ...is the righteousness... ...that we get... ...by faith... ...this is what... ...teachers are meant for... ...you know... ...if the coming of a minister... ...in your home... ...who shall ascend into heaven... ...that is to bring Christ down from the dead... ...you know... ...the righteousness which is of faith... ...is the righteousness... ...that you've got to make up... ...to be praying for Him... ...and then to speak again with Him... ...or verse 2... ...or move down to the deep... ...that is to bring up Christ again... ...from the dead... ...you know... ...the righteousness which is of God... ...always... ...my faith would say this... ...this is what it is... ...but what... ...the word... ...even in my mouth... ...the message... ...is my faith... ...in my mouth... ...and in my heart... ...that is... ...the message of faith... ...but now we're beginning to look... ...to change... ...of faith
