| 0:06.3 | Corinthians chapter 7, chapter 4 verses 1 through 7. 1st Corinthians 4, the 1st Corinthians 4, the first 7 verses. This is how one should |
| 0:20.7 | regard us as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. |

| 0:33.0 | But with me it is a very small thing |
| 0:35.1 | that I should be judged by you or by any human court. |
