0:00.0 | Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble and I'm your host for the Bible Recap. |
0:07.0 | If you're doing our New Testament plan, today we finished our 13th and 14th books, |
0:17.2 | and if you're doing the whole Bible, we finished books 52 and 53. |
0:21.6 | Paul wrote today's two letters while in prison, though we're not sure which prison, maybe Rome. |
0:26.0 | The first letter is to a church at Kallase in modern Turkey. |
0:29.0 | He didn't plant this church and he hadn't met them but he's friends with one of their |

1:12.1 | blameless to him, provided there really has been a heart change. |
1:15.4 | Perseverance will be the evidence of a new heart. |
1:18.1 | V. 24 is a challenging verse to understand, but given what Paul and scriptures say about Jesus suffering elsewhere, |
