| 0:43.4 | at what Jesus ask of God the Father when the hour had come. |
| 0:56.4 | Ephesians chapter 1. |
| 1:02.5 | A large part of this is just one very long sentence that Paul wrote. |
| 1:05.2 | It's broken up in our English to help us. |
| 1:08.3 | Ephesians 1 verse 1. |
| 1:15.0 | Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus, by the will of God, to the saints who are in Ephesus and are faithful in Christ Jesus. Grace to you and peace from God, |
