But let's begin down here in
verse 27 of Psalm 37. Depart from evil and do good. That's a sermon within itself,
isn't it? Depart from evil. That's what we're to do. We're
to depart from evil. The New Testament says that we're
to abstain. Now listen to me when it says,
depart from evil. The New Testament says, abstain
from the very appearance of evil. These things are what the Bible
says, which makes me to wonder sometimes
If that which we see in our day, which is called the salvation
of God, is not a far cry from the salvation
of God which the Bible teaches, depart from evil. Depart from
evil. Don't savor no evil. Abstain from the very appearance
of evil. Don't even get around on evil's
ground. Don't stick your neck out. Don't
go where it's at. Don't harbor it. Have nothing
to do with it. Depart from it. Turn your back
on it. Don't shut your eyes to it. Turn
your back on it. Walk away. Don't let yourself in for it. Depart from it. And do good. Our Lord Jesus, it was said of
Him that it went about everywhere doing good. That's a good testimony,
isn't it? He went about everywhere doing
good, not doing bad. You can do bad by doing nothing.
Him that knoweth to do good and doeth it not, to Him it is sin. Depart from evil and do good
and dwell, that is, live forevermore. A man can't live. He can't live
the way it was intended for him to live if he's overcome, obsessed
with iniquity, with evil, with disobedience. He can't live. He exists, but he doesn't live.
Only those that live in the frame of the Bible, only those that
are indwelled by the Spirit of the living God can really live.
Other folks just exist. They're just biding their time,
that's all. They're just waiting until death
knocks on their door, and they're going to depart. But they're
not living. They're not living. They haven't got a moment's They
haven't got a moment's deep, settled rest or peace, because
only peace and rest, true peace, true rest, is in God. That's
where it's at, and that's the only place that a man can rest.
And these that do not live in the biblical sphere, have not
the indwelling spirit of the living God in them. They do not have this living
hope. This hope which purifies them,
they don't have that. It's not life, that's not living,
just existing. They're just going along, ambitious,
wanting to accumulate in order to have some sort of a security
that they might rest in. But it's a false hope and it
becomes a false rest. It'll be a hard pillar. for a
man to lay his head on when he comes down to die, if he has
not the Lord Jesus to rest in. Depart from evil and do good,
dwell forevermore, for the Lord loveth judgment, and forsaketh
not his saints. Be not dismayed, be not discouraged,
for God will not forsake His people. He will not. God cannot
lie. He's not a man that would lie. And if He says He'll not forsake
His people, He'll not forsake them. He says they're preserved
forever. You know what? We know some of
the meaning of the word preserved. Some people can preserve fruit,
jam, jellies for a hundred years. We think that's something great. But our Lord Jesus Christ, our
God, says He'll not forsake us. And He says that we're preserved
forever. Preserved forever. Now, there's
some rest there. You can rest in that. You can
rest in the fact that God will not forsake you. I don't care
how bad and hard times get. or situations or circumstances,
God won't forsake you. He may not permit you to walk
around with your hands up in the air all the time, shall He? He may send these trials and
troubles and sorrows for a reason, but rest assured, down deep in
your soul, in your heart, the very seed of your affections,
God will set seal to His testimony that the Word of God is true.
You will have an abiding confidence in your heart that God will not
forsake you. You will forsake Him, but God
won't forsake you. And they are preserved forever,
but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off. That is what this
generation needs to be told. They need to be told that something
of the character of God They need to be told that God has
been offended and that God is angry with the wicked every day.
And every man, woman, or child who does not make his abiding
rest in peace in the Lord Jesus Christ shall be cut off forever
in hell. Now, that is one thing this generation
needs to be told. They are going to go to hell.
If they discontinue in their rebellion against God, that God
will punish evildoers. He will punish those that love
iniquity and those that love sin. God will punish them. The seed of the wicked shall
be cut off. They'll be punished. God's going
to punish people. He's not going to rehabilitate
them. He's not going to send them to hell to rehabilitate them.
He's going to send them to hell to punish them because they're worthy of it.
They deserve it. They're going to get what they
got coming. The righteous shall inherit the
land and dwell therein forever. God's land. Now, I don't know
all about that. I couldn't say, well, now, it's
going to be here in the United States. I don't know, but just
from what I understand, that the kingdom of God is a
spiritual kingdom, and when this thing is all over with, God and
this spiritual kingdom with spiritual subjects who are made like unto
the Lord Jesus Christ in spiritual perfection, going
to live and dwell with him forever, I believe here on this earth.
The righteous shall inherit the land and dwell therein forever.
The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh
of judgment. The law of his God is in his
heart, and none of his steps shall slide. The wicked watcheth
the righteous, and seeketh to slay him." That is, he watches
him and he hopes he'll fail. He hopes he'll fail. That's a
terrible, terrible thing, isn't it? for another man, especially
a wicked man, to look at a righteous man, and because of the envy
in his heart towards the righteous man, he desires that he fails. I hope he fails. I wish that
he fails. I pray that he fails. I don't
want to say it, but I think it in my heart. I hope he fails.
I hope he falls. I hope he stumbles. I hope he
makes a big noise. I hope he dishonors himself.
I hope he embarrasses himself. I hope he dishonors God and embarrasses
God. That's what he's saying. The
wicked watcheth the righteous, seeketh the slave. The Lord will not leave him in
his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged. Wait on the Lord. Keep his way, and he shall exalt
thee to inherit the land. When the wicked are cut off,
thou shalt see it." I have seen the wicked in great power, the
psalmist said, spreading himself like a green bay tree. Yet he passeth the way, and lo,
he was not. Yea, I sought him, but he could
not be found. He made a big spread. He was
all puffed up. He made a big start. But he said
he passed away. He spread out like a green bay
tree. He said, I saw him. I heard of
him. He passed away, though where
is he now? And lo, he was not. He said,
I saw him, but he could not be found. He was out of wind. Mark the perfect man. Behold
the upright, for the end of that man is peace. Peace. Peace at mind, peace at heart,
and peace with God, and the peace of God that passeth all understanding. But the transgressors, the wicked,
those that refuse to bow, those that refuse to honor the Lord
Jesus Christ by bowing at his feet and owning their sinnerhood. They will be destroyed together. The transgressors shall be destroyed
together. The end of the wicked shall be
cut off. But the salvation or the deliverance
of the righteous is of the Lord. He is their strength in the time
of trouble, and the Lord shall help them. and deliver them. He shall deliver them from the
wicked, and he shall save them, because they trust in him." Chapter 5 of the Book of Romans,
verses 12 through 21. I remember, well, it's been about
two years ago, I think, that I preached a man's funeral. tell those that were there in
the congregation that mourned for their departed how this come
about. And I tried to tell them why
men die. And I said it was because of
sin. But anyhow, when the service
was over with, there was a fellow in the congregation, if I remember
right. He was a politician. As a matter of fact, he was a
member of the House of Legislature in the state of West Virginia.
And he came to me and he said, you know, he said, I never knew
that. He said, I just never had that
explained to me why men die. He said, I know we die. He said,
I know all men are going to die. But he said, I never knew why. I suspect that there's a whole
lot of people in this world tonight that don't know why. They just
don't know why men die. But here it tells us why men
die. Wherefore, as by one man sin
entered into the world. Sin entered into the world by
one man, not one woman. One man. Not that Eve did not
sin. Not that she didn't sin first.
She sinned before he did. But Eve was not our representative. We had a covenant representative,
or a covenant head, and that was the first member of the human
race, Adam. And it says it was because of
his transgression his participation, his willful transgression of
the known and revealed will of God. He transgressed. He said, I'm going to do what
I want to do. And when he took that attitude,
when he took the attitude of, I'm going to do what I want to
do, well, that plunge dissolved. He, as our covenant head and
our representative, plunged us all down the ladder into destruction,
and we died. We died to God, and we inherited from Adam a
sinful, guilty nature and attitude. That's how it came about because
of Adam, by one man's sin. All right, our brother said that
the design of these verses is to let us know, is to show us
how men came to be in the condition of sin, inability, and depravity. And that's how it came about,
by Adam's There's a big garden of paradise there. Everything
that they needed and could wish for was there. God did not leave
any rock unturned as far as their satisfaction was concerned. Everything
was there. But you say, how come they sinned? I don't know. I don't know. You say, did God will it? Well,
I don't know that. couldn't make a good answer. I knew God knew about it. God wasn't on vacation when they
sinned, I'll tell you that. He knew about it. He knew about
it. But that's neither here nor there. He did sin. That's the true issue. He did
sin. And because he sinned, why? We
have this inability to render unto God that which is His due.
But we don't have the ability to do it. Even after we become
believers and have the very nature of God, we still can't. Our depraved
nature is so great. Even by the indwelling of the
Spirit of God, we still can't render unto God that which is
His due. That is perfect loyalty, perfect
love. We can't give it to Him. We're
to love Him with our whole total being. The whole man is to love
God, to love our neighbors, and we can't do that. Don't have the ability to. That
inability came from right here. And this depravity, this depravity,
this awful nature that polluted and corrupted this awful
nature of man. Left to himself, left to himself,
how low would he become? If God would withhold his restraining
force and power over you and I or from all mankind, it would
be terrible, the depths of depravity we would enter into. We would
be worse than animals. It is because of this depraved
heart, depraved nature. The reason people don't believe
in depravity, you know, if you was to get a respectable, sophisticated
congregation on Sunday morning and try to get across to them
that all men are totally depraved from the top of their head to
the bottom of their feet, and have the potential and capability
of living like like beasts of the field, just living like dogs. Have that capability. People
would be shocked and they'd say, well, no, I don't think so. We're living in an enlightened
society and we are educated now into what's right and what's
wrong and this and that and so forth. Their sophistication would
not permit them to believe in total depravity, but If God would
take the hand of restraint away from them, they'd believe in
it just a little bit. They'd see it. They'd see it. God's restraining society. He restrains them from going
to the depth that they can go to. They can go way down if God
would just leave them go. There's no difference between
between the best saints of God by way of nature than the vilest
and most wickedest man ever lived. There's no difference. It's only
the sustaining power and force of God that permits one from
going to the depths that the other has gone. That's all. Does
not the Scripture say in the book of 1 Corinthians, it says,
Who hath made thee to differ? Who has made you to differ from
another? What have you received that you
did not receive from God? Depravity. Depravity. Anyhow,
this is the design of this verse, is to show how men came to be
in the condition of sins. By one man, by Adam. We'll read
it to you. Listen now, it says that God
sees all men in Adam, their head and representative, as his descendants,
we are under sin, condemnation, and death. God sees the believer
in Christ, his head and representative. In Christ we are redeemed. We
live in him. In Adam we died. In Christ we
live. In Adam we lost the way, the
truth, and the life. Christ is the way, the truth,
and the life. And Adam is a type, look at this
little chart there, Adam is a type of Christ in reverse. The only way that Adam typified
Christ was the head of a race. The rest of the comparison is
an opposite. That is, there are only two men,
actually, that God really ever had anything to do with. If He
deals with me, He deals with me through Christ. Isn't that
right? My head, my representative. Well,
what I'm saying is, the only reason, I know that God personally
deals with all of us and cares for us and pities us and is concerned
about us and inclines His ear to us, He hears us, He hears
our every moan and groan, but He wouldn't and couldn't do that
apart from Christ our representative. God's holiness must be satisfied,
and that satisfaction was made in Christ our representative. Our legal head, our covenant
head, our representative. And all that was satisfied in
Christ, so God couldn't hear my cry, wouldn't hear my cry,
wouldn't be personally concerned about my needs or welfare apart
from my covenant head, the Lord Jesus Christ. Two men, the first
Adam and the second Adam. The first Adam failed. The second
Adam was successful. The first Adam was disobedient.
The second Adam was obedient. The first Adam, man, a living
soul on the earth, made sinners in him, death in him, all this
come in the first Adam. Death and sin and penalty and
judgment and misery and degradation. Even the earth was cursed because
of Adam's violation, all involved here. The second Adam, a quickening
spirit, the Lord from heaven, made righteous in him, life in
him. Verse 12, Wherefore, as by one
man sin entered into the world, an awful thing called sin, the
reason we've got jail houses, the reason we've got policemen
that walk the street, the reason we've got hospitals, mental institutions,
and nursing homes, and doctors, and lawyers, and all these things
are of a necessity because of this three-letter word, S-I-N,
sin. Sin, it kind of hisses like a
snake. Sin. We'll just talk about it and
sin this and sin that and we'll act upon it and violate it and
all that and it doesn't bother us a bit. But that's the little
old Wasn't anything you could see. It was the attitude of a
man's heart that just took a bite of a fruit. I don't know what
it was. Just took a bite of that fruit.
Held it out until it just took a bite of it. You say, well,
that ought to have been alright. What was the great harm in that?
The reason that we can't see any great harm in that is because
of this inability to do so and this degenerate, unregenerate
nature that we have that we cannot somehow conceive in our minds
that the slightest deviation from the perfect will of God
is a terrible, terrible thing. God said don't do it. God said
the day that you eat of that, you're going to die right now.
That's the reason it's so terrible. He just took a bite out of it,
that's all. That's all he did, just took a bite out of it. That
little old violation, little to us, condemned. and damned and polluted and corrupted. Everyone that was ever born a
woman, save one, the second Adam. Everybody. Every baby that is
born into this world is born with Adam's nature. Everyone
of us. It's terrible. This sin business
is terrible. That's the reason that Paul,
remember I preached to you here the other night about John said, every man has this
hope in him. What hope is that? The hope of
being like Christ. And our brother said here last
Sunday, he said, one thing that he desired, and he believed that
one thing that every Christian really desired wouldn't be health,
it wouldn't be wealth, it wouldn't be popularity, it wouldn't be
a recognition, but he said he believed that if there was one
thing that every believer could have, he would desire to be without
sin. I don't think everybody can say
that, do you? Do you think everybody can say that? Everybody who professes
to be a Christian, do you think they'll say that? I don't believe.
I believe there's some right here tonight that just wouldn't
say that. Wouldn't say, well, now wait
a minute. That's a good statement. That sounds pretty good, but
now wait a minute. I don't believe, but I'm ready
to say that. You better be ready to say that.
Better be ready to say that if I had one desire in this life
that could be fulfilled, it would be to be without sin. Boy, that's
a tremendous statement. Death by sin. So what? Death passed on all men for all
of sin. All of sin. A-L-L. No way around
it. No excuse. No loophole. All of sin. That's what preachers
have been trying to say. down through the years. Faithful
preachers, God's prophets, have been trying to say that all men,
everyone that ever came into this life through their mother's
womb, have sinned and violated and transgressed the law of God. And unless they have a substitute,
they shall be punished for their sins. How did it come about?
It came about through Adam. All right, he says we go to verse
18, and then we'll go back. Verse 18. To stay with the idea set forth
here by Paul in this 12th verse. Verse 18 says, Therefore, because
of sin, therefore the result of, therefore as by the offense of
one." The offense of one, offensive act. He acted for us. He represented all of us. Just
like, say, there was some sort of a meeting in Fairmont and
we got together here and we said, somebody ought to go as our representative.
We have a stake in the outcome of whatever's going on over there. And we believe one ought to go
as our representative here. One said, well, I can't go because
I'll have to work tomorrow. And another said, well, I can't
go because my mother's sick. Well, somebody's got to go. Now, who's
going to go? Someone said, I'll go. And he
goes over there, and he goes as our representative. Our representative. That's what Adam did. He represented
us all. He said, well, I never did this. You've done everything. Tried
to kill God in Adam. Tried to push God off the throne
in Adam. Can't be anything worse than that. You say, well, I never
committed adultery. I never stole anything. I never cussed. I never
did this. I tried to kill God. That's bad
enough. All these other little things
that you said you didn't do, outwardly, they don't even compare. They're pitiless sins. They're
trifling sins in comparison to what we did and tried to do In
Adam, we tried to put God out of business. That was Adam's
sin, just trying to put God out of business, kicking Him off
the throne. Therefore, as one man's offense,
or Adam's sin, led to judgment and condemnation, and who did
he represent? He represented all of us! So
all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. All men
need to be saved. I don't need to be saved, preacher.
I don't need it. You need it. You don't know it,
but you need it. Men's education, sophistication,
and so forth, send them to hell. I told you half a dozen times
about a fellow down here. He told me, I said, listen. I said, I want to tell you what
happened to me. I want to tell you that men need a Savior. He
said, you do, but I don't. You do. You need some help. He said, I know you. He said,
you need some help. I said, don't you? No. I never
did this. I never done that. He didn't
understand that. He had a gun. And he's looking
down the barrel on it and he's going to shoot God. He didn't
understand that. And he wouldn't have believed
it if I'd have told him that. If I'd have told him that in Adam, he
had a gun in his hand, he had a knife in his hand, he's about
ready to kill God, he'd have said, you're crazy. But in his
representative, that's how this all comes about. Is that right,
Brad? In Adam. In Adam, our representative.
By one man's sin, judgment, punishment, condemnation, hell. which will
be the result that has come upon all men for all of sin. So, one man, that's Christ, so
by one man's obedience, that's Christ, his obedience, and sacrifice
brought justification and redemption and life to all whom he represented. All that Jesus Christ represents
will be, for a surety, they'll be saved. Everybody, Bob, for
whom Christ died, they're going to be saved. He's not going to
be defeated. He comes to save the people that
he represents. He came to save the people that
God gave Him out of this human race. He came to save them. And He will prevail. He's going
to save every one of them. He's not going to lose a soul. He's not going to wind this thing
up and be shorthanded. But every seat at His table will
be filled. He would have to go out in the
highways and byways and compelled him to come in and went in, said,
come on, come on, the king's got to suffer here. And they
said, well, we've got to go here and we've got to go there, we
haven't got time. He said, go out in the highways
and bring the blind and the hoarse and the lame, that there'll not
be a vacant seat at my table. I'm telling you, he will prevail.
He's going to save those for whom he represents. He represents
poor sinners. Poor, helpless, hopeless, doomed,
damned sinners that haven't got any hope in themselves and cry
out, Lord, I have no hope in myself. Blessed are they that
mourn, mourn in themselves for their ungodliness, for they shall
see God. Sinners, sinners, ain't got any
hope. Talk to people. every day practically
and could do it 50 times a day if I set my mind to it. And 49
out of 50 or 50 out of 50 would tell you they wouldn't need a
Savior. I'm no sinner. Make a few mistakes. Make a few mistakes, but I'm
not what you're saying that I am. I didn't try to kill God or anything. I don't hate God and God's not
angry at me. Somehow, some way. I know somehow
I'm going to have to face God some way, but God's going to
have to catch me. That's just their attitude. God's
going to have to catch me. I'm running and He's chasing,
and it may be if I fall, He might catch me. I might have to make
some amends, but I'm not that concerned about it. Boy, every
time I go to town sometimes, or go to the rest home, or go
to the hospital, or anywhere where there's a crowd of people,
and I see people, and I look at them, and I say, well, I wonder
what's going through his mind. I wonder what he'd say if I'd
say, say, brother, could I tell you about the Lord Jesus Christ?
Would you let me, give me a minute here to tell you about your soul? Well, I know about what they'd
say. Well, one time I was in the hospital, And I was talking
to a fella, and another fella chipped in, and we got to talking,
and you know what happened? The nurse come and said, you'll have
to leave. Said, you'll have to leave. Said, we have a chaplain
for this hospital. We have a chaplain here. If this
patient wants to talk about religion, we'll bring our chaplain in.
People don't want to talk about this that I'm talking about tonight.
They just don't want that. Talk about religion. Talk about
that. Talk about going to church. Talk about giving your tithe.
Talk about quit drinking, quit gambling, quit smoking, quit
chewing. All that, that's good. People listen to you and won't
be offended. But killers out there, killers before God and
tried to kill God. And unless they repent and believe
in the Lord Jesus Christ, God's going to send them to hell. They
ain't going to listen to you. No way. I don't want that, preacher. I want to tell you that by one
man's obedience, the obedience of the Lord Jesus. Obedience
to what? Obedience to the expressed holiness of Almighty God as revealed
in His law. Obedience to His law. Obedience
to God's will. Our Lord Jesus Christ never,
He set His face as it were a flinty stone. towards the perfection
of the fulfillment of the law of God, and he never quit until
every jot and every tittle of it was fulfilled, and he could
lay back his head and say, It's finished. The work that thou
gavest me to do, I've finished it. I've finished it. It's complete.
I've fulfilled everything. That was against the people.
Everything that was against my people that I represented is
fulfilled and finished and complete. And you've got nothing against
them no more. You don't have anything against them. You start
talking about what this book is talking about here, about
a man standing before God in Christ, that he is as perfect
as Christ is perfect. You start talking about that
to the average church goer, and they'll say, oh no, now no, you
can't say that. Now that's not right, you're
not perfect, and you know you're not perfect, and you tell them
that you're kind of a paradox, you're two and one, that you're
the biggest sinner that ever lived, and on the other hand,
you are without sin because you're within Christ. And they'll say,
well, we don't understand that. Isn't that right? I don't understand
it all either, but bless God, I believe it. I do that. I understand
a little of it too. I understand some of it. All right. Christ's obedience. And sacrifice. He had to sacrifice
himself. He had to die. He offered himself
up in our stead and place and room. And by his obedience and
sacrifice, it brought what? Justification. just before God,
redemption, redeemed from the curse of the law, and life to
all whom He represented. We were not present physically
when Adam fell. We weren't even born yet. Our
fathers weren't born yet, and our grandfathers. But we were
in his loins, in his loins, and we were in him as the covenant
head of the human race and therefore condemned in the same fashion
or in the same manner or in the same way when our Lord perfectly
obeyed God's holy requirements and satisfied God's justice on
the cross We were in Him as His seed and covenant people, and
therefore accepted as justified because of our representation.
Not because we did anything, we didn't do anything. He did
it all. And we're accepted by God for Christ's sake. And when we see this, we'll say,
my gracious, that's all a grace, isn't it? It's all of grace.
I thought that God just helped them that helped themselves.
Well, that may be the rule of this life, Glenn, but if that
was God's rule, that He only helped them that deserved to
be helped, you'd never be helped! Is that right? You'd never be
helped. God would pass you over. All right, verse 19. For as by
one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience
of one shall many be made righteous. The words were made and be made
in this verse are important. Adam's sin did not put us on
trial and only make us susceptible to sin or lead us into sin, but
by his fall, disobedience of Adam, we were actually really
made sinners. Even so, Christ's obedience did
not render us savable or enable us to be righteous before God
by our own works, but we were made righteous and sanctified
entirely on the basis of what He did. And that verse there
says, for him who knew no sin. but became sin in our behalf,
that we might become the righteousness of God in him." He was made sin
in our behalf, that we might become the righteousness of God
in him. Well, we'll read these other
verses and we'll conclude our lesson for tonight, and you can
go over it then. Go back there to verse 13, let's
read those few verses. For until the law, sin was in
the world, but sin is not imputed where there is no law. Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam to Moses. Well, that seems to be a contradiction
there, doesn't it? Because it says that for until
the law, sin was in the world. But sin is not imputed where
there was no law." Well, there was no law from Adam to Moses.
There was no written, revealed law. The law came by Moses. That's
when the law came, it came by Moses. But every man has the
law of God written in his conscience. That is, even the heathen, they
know what's right and what's wrong in their hearts, in their
conscience. Well, anyhow, it says that, Wherefore,
as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin,
so death passed upon all men for all of sin, for until the
law of sin was in the world. But sin is not imputed or accredited,
that is, to the individual where there is no law. But nevertheless,
we still had death, and the wages of sin is death, isn't it? The
wages of sin is death, but the gift of God's eternal life nevertheless
death reigned," that is, death was king from Adam to Moses,
"...even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of
Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to
come. But not as the offense, so also
is the free gift. For if through the offense of
one many be dead, much more the grace of God, And the gift by
grace, which is by one man, that is the Lord Jesus, Jesus Christ
has abounded unto men. And not as it was by one that
sinned, so is the gift for the judgment was by one to condemnation,
but the free gift is of many offenses unto justification."
Now, kind of keep your sheets there and look over these from
the 13th verse on to the 16th there, and see what you can come
up with here according to our brother's interpretation, which
I believe is right. I'll read this verse 13 and 14
and then I'll quit. Where it says, Death passed upon
all men. Now none can stop it or escape its power, because
in Adam all sin. Even those who lived before the
law was given at Sinai, that was from Adam to Moses, were
sinners under condemnation, even though they didn't have the law.
The law wasn't given yet. Someone will argue, where there
is no law, a man is not accountable. If this be true, then why did
death reign? That is, why did people die,
even babies, who did not commit the act of rebellion like Adam?
Adam was a figure of Christ in one respect, as we have stated
in 1 Corinthians 15, 21 and 22. Well, you read that. when you
go home there.
