| 0:00.0 | Truth is in Jesus. What separates Jesus from evil is truth. People tell me that theology is not important, |
| 0:11.5 | and I want to say to them, what's wrong with you, people? You see what happens when you're ignorant of the things of God? |
| 0:18.2 | You don't care about truth? What you're saying to me is you don't care how you live. |
| 0:23.9 | Because how you understand the truth |
| 0:25.8 | and what is true and what is good |
| 0:28.7 | and what is righteous and what is holy |

| 1:31.1 | I'll read through verse 24. |
| 1:36.0 | This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk in the futility of their |
| 1:47.2 | mind, having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the |
| 1:57.0 | ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart, who being past feeling, |
| 2:06.7 | have given themselves over to lewdness to work all uncleanness with greediness. |
| 2:17.3 | But you have not so learned Christ, if indeed, cleanness with greediness. |
