 Good morning everyone and welcome to class on 1st 2nd Timothy Titus and Philemon. Before we continue looking at 1st Timothy, we'll begin with the word of prayer. So can I ask one of you to please lead us in prayer please? Anyone? To lead us in prayer? Tarun, can you lead us in prayer? Sure. Thank you. Thank you Lord. Thank you for this learning that we could receive. We pray that you prepare our hearts and help us to understand what we are reading Lord. We pray for the help of the Holy Spirit to interpret what we are reading. We thank you for this class Lord. We pray that we get to put to use all that we are learning. We ask this in Jesus name. Amen. Thank you Tarun. Okay, so last week I actually missed explaining chapter 5 verses 17 to 20. I overlooked that passage and then I continued, I began explaining from verses 21 to 23 and I realized that later on. So we will just go back a little bit to chapter 5 verses 17 to 20. I'll explain that and then we continue from where we stopped last week that is in chapter 6. So chapter 5 where Paul is basically talking about how to treat or take care of widows and then he is talking about how to treat elders or lead spiritual leaders and then he goes on to talk about, have a personal note to spiritual leader that is Timothy in verses 21 to 23. But in verses 17 to 20 he talks about how to lead spiritual leaders and how to treat elders. So verse 17 he says, let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honors, especially those who labor in the Word and doctrine. Verse 18, scripture says, you shall not muscle an ox while it shreds out the grain and the laborer is worthy of his wages. Verse 19, do not receive an accusation against an elder except from two or three witnesses. Verse 20, those who are sinning a rebuke in the presence of all that the rest also may fear. So those of you who just joined class, I missed explaining last week chapter 5 verses 17 to 20. I had to begin from verse 17 but I missed that and started explaining from verses 21 onwards in chapter 5. So just thought I'll explain chapter 5 verses 17 to 20. Now in this verses Paul is instructing Timothy on how to lead spiritual leaders as he's also explained in chapter 3. As we see in chapter 3 he calls these leaders in the church as elders. The word elders, the Greek word is presbyteros. So in the early church the terms bishop, elders, presbyters or pastors are used interchangeably and referred to anyone as providing spiritual leadership. So here he's talking about how Timothy should lead spiritual leaders or how he should treat elders and so he says, let the elders which means whether it's bishops or pastors or deacons. The word is used interchangeably for elder, bishop, presbyters and it just means anyone who's providing spiritual leadership in the church. So he says those who are elders, those who rule or those who teach which means he says those who labor in word and doctrine. He says you need to give them double honor. So if an elder, whether it's a pastor or a bishop or a deacon, if he rules well and if an elder who's teaching the word or doctrine, if he clearly speaks the truth of the gospel he's teaching the word, teaching the word, teaching the doctrines and he's doing his work then they are worthy of double honor. Now the Greek word translated honor has a double meaning. It has two different meanings, this word honor in Greek. First it has the idea of a price paid or received. So Paul is saying that those who are elders, they are worthy of double honor which means you need to give them what is their wages, what is due for them. So the Greek word has an idea here of price paid or received and from this idea of which means price paid or received it came to refer to honor or esteem attached to something or someone because of their value. So the basic meaning or the basic idea this word honor has in Greek is basically is a price paid or received. You're giving somebody the price for what they're doing or their value or what they bring on the table. So that is what was the idea of this word honor. But out of this idea it also came to refer to as esteeming somebody honoring somebody or esteeming somebody which has to do with honoring them because of what they are doing or for something or someone due to their value what they do or who they are or their position in society. So this word double honor can refer to material support and to respecting or esteeming or valuing them for who they are what they do or for the position they hold. So Paul is telling Timothy give them double honor implies that he's meaning to say that yes we treat all people with honor in the church whether it's widows, whether it is saints, just believers but those who are spiritual leaders they deserve double honor or greater respect and regard and he says especially those who are labored in word and doctrine especially those who teach. And verse 18 he says scripture says and he quotes from Deutronomy chapter 25 verse 4 and Luke chapter 10 verse 7 and he's saying the scripture says the principle that is laid out in scripture is those who serve God should be paid or be supported supported of what they are doing. There should be supported basis on what they are doing. So for example he says the whole picture there is about when an ox is treading the grain you don't muscle the ox that means you don't put that piece or gear over the mouth of the ox which will prevent the ox from eating the grain. So he says you shall not muscle an ox while it threats out the grain which means because the ox is laboring to threaten the grain it also needs a share of the job that it's doing so it can eat the grain as it is treading out the grain. So he says the laborer is worth his wages. He's using this principle as mentioned in Deutronomy chapter 25 verse 4 and Luke chapter 10 verse 7 to say that those who labor or those who are elders in the church, those who are overseers of the spiritual leadership, those who teach the word and doctrine they should be paid when possible or whenever they work and support them for the work they are doing. And then he talks about in verses 19 to 19 and 20 how to treat a leader accused of sin. He says in verse 19 to not receive an accusation against a leader except from two or three witnesses. So if any accusation is received against a leader don't just receive it automatically. The accusation should be clearly verified by two or three witnesses, not just two or three people who have heard the gossip, but two or three people who have witnessed, who have seen the act, who have you know, who approve of what has happened you know, you know, hear from them and Timothy should not receive or promote unproven, unsupported unconfirmed accusations about church leaders. And then he says that, you know, if those who are sinning rebuke them in the presence of all that the rest may also fear. So even as he says that, you know, hey, elders should be paid their wages, they are due their wages, you know you need to give them their wages. They also, you know, you have to give them double honor, of course you respect everybody in the church, among the believers, among the saints, but those who preach and teach those who are rulers in the church leaders, they are worthy of double honor, but also even as they have these privileges and these you know, these opportunities and these privileges that they can enjoy you know, they also have responsibilities, they also have to adhere to certain standards that requires of a spiritual leader. And so he's saying that, you know, if anyone under Timothy's oversight is sinning, you know or is continuing to sin, which means you have addressed the problem with them, you know, you have spoken to them that they have not heeded and they still continue to sin, then you need to address the matter publicly. And why does he say that, you know so that all the others may learn and they would walk in reverence before God and you know, that none of them would be led or stray by doing wrong and thinking that it's okay for them to do that sin or commit that sin because their spiritual leader is also committing that sin, it's not okay. Okay, so that is why he says, you know publicly rebuke such things so that everyone would learn, there would be reverence before God, they would know that sin is judged sin is condemned, that they cannot continue with this and also to promote the fear of sin among leadership in the entire church. Okay, so that is what he writes to Timothy about how to treat elders, how to lead spiritual leaders in chapter 5 verses 17 to 20 and this is a part that I missed explaining last week. Any questions on this? No questions? Okay, there are no questions and we will move on to where we stopped last class. We stopped at chapter 6 where basically, you know in verses 11 to 16 Paul is writing to Timothy about the life of a man of God and he tells Timothy what he needs to flee from, you know flee from all these wrong things, wrong doctrines, free from, you know falling into a temptation snare for becoming rich, you know and he says, you know, godliness with contentment is great grain and then he talks about you know pursue, he's telling Timothy in verse 11 to pursue righteousness godliness, faith, love, patience and gentleness and in verse 12 he says fight the good fight of faith and hold on to lay hold of the eternal life. So he's basically telling Timothy, you know the pride and riches, one of the things that he needs to pursue because these pride and riches are what these false teachers were teaching false doctrines in the church, you know, are doing they're doing this not because they want their doctrines to be known or they're so convinced about their doctrines which is wrong, but they're doing this because you know they want to become rich, they want to make money, you know that is their whole agenda. It's not about the doctrine it's not about the truth, they don't care anything about that it's just that they want to become rich, they want to make money, so Paul is telling Timothy but you pursue righteousness, godliness, faith love, patience and gentleness. Because these are the things that, you know has value for eternity okay they're valuable to God and he says, you know, fight the good fight and he gives him reasons why to fight the good fight. He knows that Timothy is in a very difficult place, a very strategic city a very, very place of great responsibility of great importance. His role there is very, very important and it's very, very difficult for him to continue it's challenging, the role is very challenging, very difficult, he just wants to give up and so he's kind of encouraging him throughout this letter, you know, various places telling him what to do how to, you know, stay on as a soldier, a soldier does not quit, does not lead the battlefield, he does not run away from his post, his position, his responsibility he fights to the very end. He continues to encouraging him on these same lines in this chapter as well this last part of his letter, the last section of this letter in First Timothy and he says fight the good fight and he's saying you know, he knows that the fight is going to be difficult but he needs to know that, you know, he needs to fight this battle because he's put in that place, because he's received this order from this great God who's called him, who's purposed this for him, who's given him this position and he cannot just run away from it and he has an obligation to serve the Creator who gave him life and you know, to encouraging him further he's giving him an example of Jesus Christ, he's talking about Jesus Christ in verses 13 to 16 we read that last week he says, you know, he talks about Jesus as an example who himself did not go back on his call, his purpose and his testimony, even when he was brought before Pontius Pilate and he knew that this is going to lead to his crucifixion, to his death and he just holds fast to his confession of faith and to pursue what is eternal to pursue the will of the Father, to do what the Father has called him to do so he gives Jesus as an example and he says in the view of this you too Timothy must pursue what is eternal and you need to hold fast to your confession of faith and he says he says I urge you in the sight of God who gives life to all things and before Christ Jesus so he says, you know, it was Jesus Christ who gave him this command who put him here in this position, who purpose him to be there in that place to oversee the churches at Ephesus and Jesus himself knew what it was to fulfill a command and position as difficult as Timothy is in at present because he witnessed a good confession before Pontius Pilate and Jesus, you know, did not go back on his purpose call and his testimony and you know, how did Jesus you know, witness a good confession before Pontius Pilate, he did it to several ways first thing is, you know, Jesus admitted about himself, he agreed with Pilate's statement that he was the king of the Jews. The second thing is that, you know, Jesus testified to Pilate about the sovereignty of God saying that, you know, telling Pilate that you could have no power at all against me unless it was given to you from above. John chapter 19 11. So Jesus testifies to the sovereignty of God and he tells him, tells Pilate that, you know, he could not have any power against him if it had not been given from above. So Jesus lets Pilate know that God was in charge and not Pilate. God was bringing about this turn of events and what is going to happen because he is in control, he is sovereign and not sovereign. The third thing is that Jesus was silent about specific accusations he refused to defend himself and leaving his will to the will of God the Father. So he's saying Timothy, you know, even as you are in this position, you know, admit the truth, speak the truth, you know, teach the truth. He's been telling him, preach, teach the truth in a simple pit, you know, don't get into baseless arguments, foolish discussions, but all of these false teachers. But what you need to do is you need to teach the truth of God's word just as it is teach the doctrines, teach the truth in God's word. And the second thing is, you know, you need to understand that, you know, it is because of God's will and plan and purpose that you are put in this position as a spiritual overseer and God is in charge, you know, even as he has put you there, he's faithful, he will complete what he has begun in you and he will accomplish what he wants to be done in and through you. And then also he's telling Timothy, learn from, you know, Jesus how when he faced Pilate, you know, he was silent about specific accusations, he refused to defend himself, you know, do that and, you know, just leave your life to the will of God the Father and he will undertake for everything that is concerning you that needs to be done at the church at Ephesus. So it's also a good reminder for us, you know, even as we are in ministry, sometimes the going gets tough, it's very difficult, it's very challenging, you know, we feel like quitting because we have different people gossiping about us or putting us down or, you know, coming against us. And when we know that we are in the right place doing the right thing and we are in God's call, that's where God wants us to be and we are honoring God in the way that we are conducting our lives, in the way that we are going about doing things, then, you know, just remind yourself about what Paul reminded Timothy about how Jesus did not go back on his call, his purpose and his testimony. Because it's very easy for us to quit our post, it's very easy to say, hey, I've, you know, done with this and, you know, I just can't minister here anymore. There's no point but if you know that God has called you there and God wants you to stay there unless he tells you to leave unless he opens the door for you to exit and you know you have to be there, you know, you stay there put knowing that, you know, you have to pursue what is eternal and hold fast to your confession of faith just like Jesus did and do the three things that I just listed out or I said, you know, what Jesus did when he made a good confession before Pontius pilot and God who's called you God who has positioned you there, you know, he sees he knows even as you leave you leave your life to doing his will you know, he will do what is required he will work, he will fight your battles he will give you the grace and the strength he will remove people who, you know, shouldn't be there he will bring in people who would support you encourage you, would strengthen you and just continue to do the work of God in that place okay, so in these ways we see that Jesus made a good confession before Pontius pilot and when Timothy was told to live up to this good confession he made he was simply told to do what Jesus did, now why you know, why does Paul use these descriptions in this context because as I said you know, Timothy was under fire in his ministry and Paul wanted him to remember that it was God in whose presence he's he's living, he's he's serving God and you know, Jesus Christ is both the giver of life and the one who sustains life so even as you know people are threatening to kill Timothy but you know, he doesn't have to fear or quit or run away because he needs to know that God would either preserve him from death or give him the courage to be faithful witness unto his death till he dies even as we look up to the example of Christ who faithfully bore witness before Pontius pilot you know, he he knew that he's going to be crucified but he did not seek to save his own life but he testified what was the truth, he witnessed, he made the good confession of faith before Pontius pilot and yes, he was crucified but he also you know, rose again, he ascended back to his position of being God again okay, so that is the encouragement that is what Paul is telling Timothy look for what holds on for eternity you know, and what has eternal significance and consequence, okay and he says, you know, how long Timothy was supposed to fight the good fight, he says until our Lord Jesus is appearing, okay, so he says here in this verse you know, verse 14, that you keep this commandment without spot blameless until Lord Jesus Christ appearing, so how long do we continue to face all the challenges in our Christian life, go through all the difficulties the persecutions, the hardships you know, how long, sometimes he asks how long God and so Paul is telling Timothy you know, you're supposed to fight the good fight of faith until the Lord Jesus Christ appearing or if he died before that before his appearance till our death okay, and he says here he who is yeah, verse 15 which he will manifest in his own time and he who is the blessed and the only potent, the king of kings and the Lord of the Lord, so he is saying that he who is, he is saying that you know, he is telling Timothy know that you know, Christ Jesus has equipped you to fight the good fight, so know who is this God who is serving know who is this God who has called you know who is this God who has you know, purposed this in your life and put you in this position, it is Jesus Christ himself and even as he has called you and purposed that you be in this place, in this position he has also equipped you to fight the good fight, so it's not just you, he has called you and purposed you and just put you in that place but he also has equipped sorry, he has also given you the required things that needs to equip you to fight the good fight and even as you equipped to fight the good fight, you know he will strengthen you and he will do all that concerns you, he will sustain you through every season and will give you the grace and the strength and you know Paul goes on to then describe who Jesus Christ is to Timothy you know, it's just amazing in all of Paul's epistles when he writes he never loses an opportunity to testify of the person and the work of Jesus Christ he never loses an opportunity to testify who Jesus was even before he became man, even before the foundations of the earth who he was as man, what he accomplished what he did because the whole purpose of Paul's mission or his, the whole purpose of his life is to exalt Jesus Christ, is to make him known, is to testify about him it's not to testify about the works that he is doing or what the great apostle or the missionary he is but his main focus is to just basically to preach Christ, you know to testify about who he is his deity, his humanity his person, his work, what he has accomplished so even if you look at, we studied Romans you know, he just even as he discusses and brings in the law and the forefathers and Abraham he talks about all of those things you know, he even talks about the person and work of Jesus Christ so even if you look study 1st Timothy and 2nd Timothy there are various instances where he you know, he testifies about who this Jesus Christ is and this is one such place where he is talking about who this Jesus Christ is he says he's blessed and the only potent taint, the king of kings the Lord of lords who alone has immortality dwelling in unapproachable light who is who no man has seen or can see to whom the honor and everlasting power so he's reminding Timothy you know who this God is who has called him who has equipped him who is sustaining him and is giving him the grace and the strength to fight his good fight so he's the blessed potentate, means sovereign who's a leader, who's a fooler Jesus Christ is the one who alone has all power and strength who rules the entire universe he is the Lord of lords, the king of kings he's truly immortal without beginning, without end he's the only uncreated self-existent being who is not subject to death and look at what he says you know he's God who dwells in unapproachable light he refers to when he's talking about God who lives in unapproachable light he's basically referring to the splendor of God's inherent glory and especially of his unapproachable holiness so he's talking about this great God how great this God is, how big how mighty or awesome he is who lives in unapproachable light that means you know the splendor the awesomeness of this God you know is so is inherent means you know it is it's just natural it's just part of who he is it's his characteristic it's just basically who he is his being that he lives in unapproachable light the splendor of his majesty awesomeness his glory you know and that he is unapproachable in his holiness and you know because he's so great he's so holy he's so you know he's so glorious that no sinful human being can even dare to draw near to this God but you know he's saying that it's because of the grace that is in Christ Jesus that you know we can approach this God who lives in unapproachable light we have access to this God who is holy and we are sinners but we can approach the holy of Holies the throne of grace to receive grace and mercy in time of need why because of the grace of Jesus Christ because of what Jesus Christ has done for us so he's saying that you know he's reminding us that you know this God is so unapproachable he lives in unapproachable light which means like you know just like we won't dare to on the sun you know we won't dare to do it because we even can't approach anywhere close to sun because if we do we would be burnt along with the person that we would want to you know put on the sun because they will be instantly consumed you know a millions of kilometers away from the sun is even something that we can't even you know dare to even venture out or near or think of going so sorry when we can't even look at the sun with our you know for just for a split second without being blinded with our bare eyes just imagine you know God is even so much more brighter than the sun he's so glorious in his splendor and his awesomeness in his glory but even though you know we cannot know this God who lives in unapproachable light and who lives in unapproachable holiness who's sovereign immortal unapproachably holy this invisible God who we cannot know who we cannot see, who we cannot understand but he says thanks be to Jesus Christ who came and became man deity becoming humanity and choosing to reveal God to us and who we can touch and see and feel and you know have this tangible experience and relate to you know it's because of Jesus Christ and he's saying that you know this God who lives in unapproachable light who no man can see or has ever seen you know we can know him through Jesus Christ and we have access to this unapproachably holy God and we as sinners can approach him it's because of the grace and the mercy of God and just saying this you know of Paul is you know just bursting out into just worshiping and honoring this God who is who has everlasting power and to whom is due and is to be ascribed to okay and you know it just you know also opens our understanding you know even though God is so great so awesome so glorious you know who we cannot even see but you know is someone who has someone who has condescended to a level where we can approach him he has come down to a level where we can know him we can relate to him we can speak to him we can hear from him you know just this wonderful access that we have to this this great awesome glorious God is because of what Jesus Christ has done and I think this should you know kind of bring us to a place where we can also living a life that is holy pleasing acceptable to God and also come into a place where we know what we have received because of the person and work of Jesus Christ and also standing in all of this God who is even though he's so great you know is just opened himself to us and you know we can receive all of his fullness participate in all of his fullness in all of his greatness in his glory just experiencing in such a person and tangible way and this should be just enough for us you know to honor him serve him to worship him and give him all the glory and honor that is due to him so he says to whom be honor and everlasting power knowing who this Jesus is should bring us this response not primarily what he can do for me not just by saying that hey I can approach God's throne of grace receive answers receive grace and mercy in my time of need but our response should just be simple and saying God you know I just want to worship you for who you are what you mean what you have done for me what you've opened up for me what you have given me as a spiritual and just declaring his honor and everlasting power because you know he is this great God and so Paul is praising and giving glory and honor to this one God who is exalted and thrown and to Jesus Christ who has made this God known to us who's made a way for us and access to approach this great infinite holy God who lives in unapproachable light and he he says that you know this Jesus Christ who has revealed God to us his alone immortal and he also lives in unapproachable light that means he's also you know a unique man who alone is immortal and he also is a glorified man because remember he's 100% God 100% man fully God fully man deity and humanity coexisting in the person of Jesus Christ so even as God is lives in unapproachable light you know even Jesus Christ who's a second person of eternity is this glorified man because he lives in unapproachable light so Paul is praising him and enthroning and exalting Jesus Christ because he's this unique man who alone has immortality compared to any other human being and he is this glorified man because he is he is God who lives in unapproachable light okay so he's talking about again who the person of Jesus Christ is that he is alone and he is glorified man who's living in unapproachable light any questions these verses verses 13 to 16 okay there are no questions then we will move on to verses 17 to 19 so can somebody please read first Timothy chapter 6 verses 17 to 19 please thank you Harrison can somebody please read verses 17 to 19 chapter 6 okay and first Timothy 6 verses 17 to 19 and says 16 to 17 to 19 can command those who are who are rich in the present present age not to be hearty not to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God who gives us richly all things to enjoy let them do good that they be rich in good works ready to give willing to share sorting up for themselves a good foundation for the time to come that they may lay lay hold on internal life Amen thank you Harrison so he's talking about those who are rich in this present age he's telling them that they must use their riches responsibly you know if you know if they use their riches or good stewards of their good stewards of the riches that God has entrusted to them the blessing that God has entrusted them in this present age if they use it as good stewards and they're responsible they will also be rich in the age to come and he tells us to be hearty which means he's talking about pride pride is constant danger with riches it's very easy to believe that we have more than any other man and so we can do things and no one can stop us no one can question us that is being hearty that is being proud and he's hearty but he says and also he tells not to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God okay he says that riches is temporary it's not something that will last for eternity and he's saying don't put your trust in riches and God knows our tendency to trust in riches instead of him and he guards us against this danger because he wants us to trust that he is somebody more trustworthy eternal somebody they can put their trust in so he's saying telling Timothy trust in God telling the believers the same set trust in God don't put your trust in uncertain riches and then he says let them do good riches should be rich in good works ready to give so he says those who are rich they should be used their blessing their riches in a responsible way being good stewards giving to others doing good and he says when they do that they will guard their heart for materialism and trusting in uncertain and trusting in their riches which is uncertain which is not permanent yes we know that having riches is not wrong in itself because God blesses his people with riches with wealth with money so it's not wrong to have money it's not wrong to make more money because we need to multiply if you look at the parables of the you know of the steward and all of that God wants us to multiply invest to multiply our wealth our riches he wants us to do it in order that we bless his kingdom that we can extend his kingdom give into kingdom's work give into mission work bless believers that is what the early church did right they sold everything that was which they had and they have things in common they blessed those who are in need and there was great unity oneness and the power of the Holy Spirit was so mightily moving among them there was great science miracles and wonders so he says those of you are rich be good stewards take responsibility for your wealth be generous knowing that even as you give away your wealth you're actually laying up for yourself treasures in heaven you're actually laying up for yourselves what is eternal you're going to get an eternal reward and he says lay hold on eternal life so Paul's idea was to leave the pursuit of money aside and be content with his work as a minister of the gospel he says you know that his hand is not too big enough to lay hold of two things you know lay hold of both riches and money and what is important for eternal life but he says you can have you can lay hold of just one thing and that is lay hold of what is eternal you know two things that will build up for your eternal life which will give you rewards for eternity and then in verses 20 to 21 he talks to Timothy or tells Timothy to guard what has been entrusted to him so can somebody please read verses 20 and 21 please yes ma'am Othi Matthi keep that which is committed to that trust and vain babblings and oppositions of science falsely so called which some professing have heard concerning the faith grace we will be amen amen thank you so he says guard what was committed to your trust so you know the gospel or the salvation message the truth about Jesus Christ the doctrine the personal work of Jesus Christ it has been you know entrusted to us committed to us committed to a person like Timothy who is a pastor an overseer and also committed to us as believers you know we need to be committed to that trust to holding on to the truth to communicating the true pure truth of the gospel and he says that you know when this trust is broken you know some people have strayed away from the truth they have shipwrecked their faith and he says you know still Timothy that you need to do all you can do to keep your trust to hold on to the truth and to this faith and so also even as we read this even as God has entrusted the truth of the gospel the doctrine of the gospel to us the doctrines the various doctrines in the word of God and the doctrine of Jesus Christ we need to hold on to this and you know we need to be committed to sharing and speaking and teaching the pure truth of the gospel and then Paul closes with this admonition to Timothy to God which means to keep to preserve to watch over what has been given to him and what has been entrusted to him is the truth of the gospel and the ministry that has been given to him so the same way we need to guard which means we need to preserve the gospel the doctrines the manifestations and the person the work of the Holy Spirit the person the work of Jesus Christ we need to guard this preserve it watch over it teach it to people and he says again he reminds him you know in the close of this letter avoid you know you know getting into foolish arguments contradictions babblings you know discussions with all of these false teachers who think they are talking sense they making you know talking great deep profound truths and knowledge which is falsely called knowledge he says have nothing to do with them and then you know he ends his letter by saying you know when you hold onto the truth you will not stray away you will not ship wreck your faith and then he blesses him with grace okay and he says the grace of Lord Jesus Christ be with you and that's how he ends his letter okay we'll pause here we'll go for our break and come back and after our break we'll take any questions regarding chapter 6 of 1st Timothy and then we'll continue on with 2nd Timothy okay we'll see you after the break thank you
