0:00.0 | 1 Corinthians chapter 7 if you have your Bibles we started into chapter 7 last week if you're new to |
0:07.2 | Cornerstone I just go straight through the Bible cover to cover we're here in the book of first |
0:11.4 | Corinthians chapter 7 where Paul deals with the subjects of singleness marriage sex and divorce |
0:19.3 | last week we talked about singleness, marriage, and sex, |
0:23.2 | and today we are talking about the challenging passage of 1st Corinthians 7 |
