| 0:13.1 | holy by righteousness when a great verse, a strong verse, and a beautiful, powerful, |
| 0:20.1 | awesome picture of God, the Lord of hosts who is exalted by justice. Think about that. God is just, |
| 0:27.8 | he's perfectly just. Bible says all of his ways are justice. Therefore when we do justice, |
