| 0:00.0 | Hey friend, welcome to today's encouragement from Our Daily Bread. The devotional for today |
| 0:11.4 | titled In All Our Dealings was written by Marvin Williams. In 1524, Martin Luther observed, |
| 0:21.3 | Among themselves, the merchants have a common rule, which is their chief maxim. |
| 0:26.3 | I care nothing about my neighbor, so long as I have my profit and satisfy my greed. |
| 0:33.5 | More than 200 years later, John Woolman from Mount Holly, New Jersey, let his commitment to Jesus influence his tailor-shop dealings. |
| 0:43.1 | Out of support for the freeing of slaves, he refused to purchase any cotton or dye supplies from companies that used forced labor. |
| 0:52.6 | With a clear conscience, he loved his neighbor and lived according to |
| 0:56.9 | integrity and sincerity in all his dealings. Likewise, the Apostle Paul strived to live out |
| 1:04.7 | integrity and godly sincerity. When some in Corinth tried to undermine his authority as an apostle for Jesus, he defended |
| 1:13.6 | his conduct among them. He wrote that his words and actions could withstand the closest |
| 1:19.1 | scrutiny. He also showed that he was dependent on God's power and grace for effectiveness, not his own. |

| 1:39.8 | in all our dealings, family, business, and more. When by God's power and grace we reveal his love to others, |
| 1:47.9 | we honor him and love our neighbors well. |
| 1:57.0 | Today's Our Daily Bread devotional scripture reading is from 2 Corinthians chapter 1, verses 12 through 16. |
| 2:05.6 | Now, this is our boast. Our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially in our relations with you, with integrity and godly sincerity. |
| 2:20.7 | We have done so relying not on worldly wisdom, but on God's grace, for we do not write you |
| 2:28.7 | anything that you cannot read or understand. And I hope that, as you have understood us in part, you will come to |
| 2:36.5 | understand fully that you can boast of us just as we will boast of you in the day of the Lord |
| 2:42.6 | Jesus. Because I was confident of this, I wanted to visit you first so that you might benefit |
| 2:50.1 | twice. I wanted to visit you on so that you might benefit twice. I wanted to visit you on my way |
