Address—Paul Hadley
DISCLAIMER: The following has been auto-transcribed. We hope it will help you to find the section of this audio file you are looking for.
Because we've seen #207 Now may the God of peace and love perfect our souls and every grace to do His blessed will.
And all that's pleasing in this sight inspires to fulfill.
#207 maybe someone could start it for us.
Tomorrow and it's a little more. Oh, and they have a lot of.
Ourselves and I got all this and everything, kind of.
When you have to breathe in the eyes, breathe in breath.
That's the Lord's blessing. Our God and Father, we help as we open Thy word. We pray that Thou inspire us to do our Savior's will.
We pray that Thou wire my hearts, we all need it. We pray for Thy health and Thy blessing on each one of us. I think especially at this time which is devoted to the young people, that they might be encouraged and blessed.
We ask it in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
Let's turn to Proverbs 31.
I'm going to read.
The acrostic poem of the virtuous woman.
This is for two kinds of people.
For the Romantics.
And for the godly.
And I'm going to.
Not expound on this chapter.
There are interpretations of scripture and there are applications.
I'm not gonna interpret the scripture for you today. I'm going to apply it in a different way. In other words, what I have to bring before us tonight is not.
Today is not uh.
Really what these verses are teaching us. But we can apply them to ourselves in a certain way. I'll get to that in a minute.
Let's read this.
Proverbs 31.
Verse 10 who can find the virtuous woman for her price is far above rubies and as we read this on I think how that back when I was a young person I used to.
Wonder what my ideal woman would be ideal wife?
00:05:03
And perhaps some of you young men have done the same thing, And perhaps some of you young women would.
Want to have some instruction as to what the ideal?
Wife would be that you would like to be and so you can think on those things as we read these verses, even though that's not what I'm going to be speaking on. So let's go on and chapter verse 11. The heart of her husband does safely trust in her so that he shall have no need of spoil. She will do him good and not evil. All the days of her life. She seeketh wool and flex and worketh willingly with her hands.
She's like the merchant ships. She brings her food from afar. She rises also while it is yet night, and gives meat to her household and a portion to her maidens.
To consider the field and Vietnam. With the fruit of her hands she planted the vineyard. She girded her loins with strength and strengtheneth her arms. She perceived that her merchandise is good. Her candle goeth not out by night.
She layeth her hands to the spindle.
And her hands hold the distaff.
She stretches out her hand to the poor. Yeah, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy. She's not afraid of the snow. For her household, for her household, for all her households are clothed with scarlet.
She maketh their self coverings of tapestry. Her clothing is silk and purple. Her husband is known in the gates when he sitteth among the elders of the land. She maketh fine linen, and sell of it, and deliverth girdles unto the merchant. Strength and honor are her clothing, and she shall rejoice in time to come.
She opened her mouth with wisdom, and in her tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
Her children rise up and call her blessed, her husband also, and he praises her.
Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excels them all.
Favor is deceitful and beauty is vain, but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.
Give her the fruit of her hands, and let her own works praise her in the gates.
So that's the beautiful.
Poem. There are different kinds of poems in the in the Bible.
Hebrew poetry is different than ours.
In our poetry, most often the last word rhymes, uh, with the previous sentence, or two sentences before or whatever. But in Hebrew poetry they often have rhyming thoughts. So for example.
And the, uh, verse.
The last verse of the 30th chapter of Proverbs you have surely the turning of milk bringeth forth butter, the ringing of the nose bringeth forth blood, and the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strike all similar thoughts to say there you rhyme thoughts rather than words. And that's nice because we can understand that and it translates well. But what we have here is, as I say, an acrostic poem. That is, it's more like A is for apple, B is for boys, C is for.
What do they have a car or something and and so each each.
Verse in this little passage that we read starts with.
A different and, uh, and consecutive letter in the Hebrew alphabet. And so there's 22 of them. And very often when you find chapters that have 22 verses, they are acrostic poems. But anyway.
What to get at? Let's turn to Ephesians 5 for one verse and you'll hold know my whole message.
1St 24 Therefore, as the Church is subject unto Christ, so let the wise be subject under their husbands and everything.
Well, I guess 23 is what I was thinking of.
The husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church, and he is the Savior of the body.
That's a simple thought that I'd like to bring out. Is that you and I?
00:10:01
Are the bride the wife of Christ?
Now.
Perhaps while we're reading this passage in Proverbs 31, you are thinking what you would like to be to your husband.
Or if you're a young man, you're you're thinking what the ideal.
Woman for you might be if you were to be married.
And so the application that I'm making, we're going to try to make anyway in this passage here is what would the ideal bride of Christ be?
You know we.
Think of ourselves a lot.
And.
How much it must mean, though, to be thinking of what he would want from us.
And so we have.
In the first couple verses that I read, verse 10.
We find.
Something that it says that her price is far above rubies.
And I'm told that diamonds aren't very rare. It's mainly that the De Beers, uh, operation that controls the diamonds there.
They kind of limit the amount that's out there to keep the prices high, but rubies are truly rare. If you had a Ruby 1/2 a carrot this big.
If it was the right kind of Ruby, they call it pigeon blood Red, you could sell that Ruby and buy a house.
Rubies are rare.
But there is something that's far above the price of rubies.
And that was something that we have here.
Price of a virtuous woman.
There's two things in the book of Proverbs that are said to be above the price of rubies. The other is wisdom. That's in chapter 3, verse 15.
Of the price of rupees, things to really, really value that are truly rare.
And when we re and when we speak of a virtuous woman here, it does not speak of chastity. Chastity is an important thing.
But that's not the subject. We have a lot of other verses.
In the book of Proverbs about chastity.
What we're Speaking of here is worth value, one that is truly a fine wife.
How would you like and how would I like to be truly a fine wife?
It's hard for me to say that being a man, uh, fine wife to the Lord Jesus Christ.
We are going to be. We are.
His bride.
The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil, it says.
You know, in those days they didn't have welfare.
And so you but you go out and plant your fields and you have a good crop and that would take you through the year or you'd feed your animals and they would take care of you for the year. You lived through the difficult winter.
But if you didn't have a good crop.
You had the option of starving to death.
Are going out and stealing somebody else's, maybe that's spoil. You see they go out and raid the the Philistines or something and and steal their crops. So what we often read of is the Philistines coming to steal the Israelites crops. That's what spoil is.
If you and I are faithful to the Lord Jesus Christ as His bride, he would have no need of spoil.
This world would be a different place if you were, and I were faithful.
If you and I were faithful, this world would be a very different place.
He would have no need of spoil. But you know this church, His church is in ruins.
We've dishonored him in many ways.
By fighting and so on.
00:15:03
Uh, and not bringing the gospel to others.
It's kind of sad to say he needs he needs spoil.
Our husband is in need of spoil because of our failures.
And, and, uh, versus versus, uh, in the next two verses, 12 and 13, I'd like to bring before us the subject of our being faithful to him. She will do him good and not evil.
All the days of her life.
Umm.
The memories of mine that I regret the most.
My failures in this very thing. Doing him good and not evil all the days of her life.
Speaks and Titus of adorning the doctrine of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The way we act, the things we say and the things we do.
They either adorn the doctrine, that is, they make it sound good to others.
Or they make it sound bad to others. We don't wanna have anything to do with those Christians. Because I saw Paul Hadley going and doing some terrible things or saying some terrible things or whatever.
That would be not adorning the doctrine of our largest but if if in my life.
I make others want to know what I have that really makes me different. Then I'm adorning the doctrine of our Lord Jesus Christ.
And you and I need to adorn that doctrine.
Many are starting off at another school year.
Somehow you can purpose in your heart.
Some little way adorn that doctrine.
I don't know how.
You can find out how you can do it.
Each one for each one it's different perhaps.
But we must adorn that doctrine, and so.
That we can do him good and not evil.
All the days of our life she seeketh. It says in verse 13 she seeketh wool and flax.
The world, we might say in my little application.
Is that which identifies us as a sheep.
How is it possible that you and I can somehow or other have a little wool something that will identify us as a sheep?
Somehow.
You and I need some wool.
To identify us as the sheep of Christ.
And then there's, uh, the other thing she seeks is flax. And there's two things you do with flax that I know of. I don't know what else, but what I learned from the Bible is you make linen out of it. And the Book of Revelation chapter 19 tells us that the fine linen is the righteousness of Saints. So it has something to do with our, our testimony. The other thing that you do with flex that I learned from the Bible is, uh, you make a Wick for your oil lamp.
And so we read that a smoking flex he will not quench.
That's that's when the Wick is running out of oil.
And so both of those things have to do with testimony.
The way we live, our outward testimony, giving light to others.
Our our deeds.
So the flex.
You need to seek it out. Do you seek the world and do you seek the flex somehow so that.
Our lives might be identified as as lives that belong to Him.
Now in the next couple of verses, I'm going to bring out another thought about studying the word. She's like the merchant ships that says in verse 14, she brings her food from afar. She rises also out yet night and giveth meat to her household in a portion to her maiden.
There's nothing special about food that comes from far away places, in fact.
00:20:00
If it's real far away, it might be getting spoiled, but the point here is that you get a little variety if you go to other places. So if I live up north, I'm not gonna have very many oranges unless I.
Take advantage of the merchant ships that bring them from the South. And so there's a little variety.
In the food that this woman prepares.
And you and I can have a little variety in our spiritual diet that we'll spend a little time studying the word. You know, there was something wonderful that happened at our conference in Mount Tabor. I thought it was wonderful. There's a sister that had a library from her father that brought it and put it on the table. Anybody could come and take the books.
I thought that was good.
And you know, if you have a library that you're not using, maybe it'd be a good thing for you to do with it so somebody else can have some merchant ships coming from afar to get a little more spiritual variety, a little more variety in their spiritual food.
It was kind of sad though that those books sat on the table the whole conference, uh, just a few taken here and there and uh, some had to be taken home.
I would encourage you, young men, young women, if you get the opportunity to get some of your hands on those books, get them and use them and you'll have spiritual food that will be, that'll be a little bit of a different variety.
I know some people say all I want is the Bible and that's I respect that.
I also respect those others who have gone and spent a lot of time studying it.
And I refer often to.
To my other brethren, because I there's a lot of things I just can't learn myself.
Things that have been brought out to us at this conference that I.
Would not have been able to learn myself.
We need a little merchant ships going afar, coming to conferences. One of them. Glad you're here.
The other thing that speaks of in connection with, I'll apply it again in connection with the Bible study is getting up early now I don't start work till about 10:00 and usually that le leave the house around 9:30 so.
I don't have to get up very early. I haven't used an alarm clock clock in years unless it's to catch an airplane or something.
But I do respect my brethren.
Very highly.
Some of them who have to get to work at 7:00 or something for them to get up.
And get some food for their souls.
I hear they're up at 5:00 sometimes.
I turn over in bed at that time.
But I surely respect my brethren.
Who will who will make that amount of diligence to actually set an alarm clock, which I never use, as I say?
To take them out of their sleep, to get them ready to get a little spiritual food for themselves.
I've had the joy of.
Getting spiritual food from this book for years.
And every once in a while.
It's something that.
As it says here, it gives meat to the household. Somebody else gets to enjoy it too. Because I enjoyed it. And, you know, I've enjoyed things that other people have brought out. They've brought me spiritual food.
But it's not meant to be a one way St. It's not meant to be one brother.
Bringing all the food, it's like a potluck, you see, everybody brings a little bit and we all feed each other and we all go home happy.
We got a little variety that way. It's a wonderful thing for everybody to be diligent in the study of the word, to be able to enjoy these things.
Now in the next few verses, uh, starting in verse 16, I wanna bring out a few thoughts about serving the Lord and the gospel and so on.
So says she considers a field and bias it. With the fruit of her hands, she planted the vineyard.
There is a field of service for you and for me.
00:25:05
I've had many fields of service that the Lord showed me.
And I didn't buy them, I passed by them.
But it keeps showing me some and every once in a while.
I don't goof up as bad and sometimes we take advantage of a little bit, but there's a field of service for each one of us.
Whatever abilities you have.
There might be a special field for you that you can use those.
Those, uh, those abilities for him.
And so there is also a purchasing of the field.
Which means to me that it's not always easy to serve the Lord.
There is some self, there is some sacrifice involved.
You know, we think of people going out in the service of the Lord, you know, perhaps let's say to Malawi or whatever.
And, uh, we, we, uh, hear about what's being done there.
But you know that field costs money.
Uh, I don't mean money, I mean effort. There's a buying of that field.
There's a certain amount of suffering leaving comforts that they have.
There is a certain amount of sacrifice that goes with the purchase of any field.
Any field of service, we tend to want something to be handed to us.
But there we have to be willing if we are to be a faithful and a virtuous wife for our Lord Jesus Christ. There is the need for us to be willing to purchase that field. With the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard. This is hard work.
There are stones that have to be removed from that vineyard, the soil has to be tilled.
The seed has to be sown.
And she doesn't get immediate results either.
I planted a.
A1 Vine vineyard in my backyard.
A few years ago. I haven't got a grape out of it yet.
I don't know if I ever will, but uh.
But the there is a certain amount of Labor and, and, uh, caring for that before there's ever any results.
But this virtuous woman?
Season to the future, and she plants the vineyard, and she waits for the fruit. And and in judges that speaks of wine as that which shears the heart of God and men.
How come?
I would say that wine shears the heart of God.
Well, I mean, we know how. Cheers, the heart of men.
How would it? How would it be that it cheers the heart of God?
Well, if we think of wine as a picture of the joy of our salvation, you know that salvation.
It shears the heart of God.
And for men?
It's just what they need. It's just absolutely what man needs in this world.
They need to have their souls saved, their life redirected, the life before you know, we forget this, how empty and directionless our lives are without Christ. It's just what man needs.
Cheers, the heart of man.
And you can be sure that there is rejoicing in the presence of angels of heaven as well as the heart of God.
When one soul is saved.
So she plants that vineyard. She girds her loins and strengthens herself.
Re We.
We, uh, read of uh, being prepared for every good work.
Titus, chapter 3.
Doing good unto all men, especially the House of God, those the household of God.
00:30:04
And there needs to be a little bit of strengthening of the arms to be prepared for every good work.
There are things that I can't do if I haven't strengthened myself for them.
There are spiritual things that you can't do if you haven't strengthened yourself for them.
She perceives that her merchandise is good. Her candle goes up, not up on it. And that's what I was bringing up before. We need to have a sense that the salvation that we have to offer.
It's good.
That that's it's just what man needs.
I used to.
Walk to the train station back many years ago when I commuted to New York City.
And I often.
Would repeat, I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ.
Gospel of God, the power of God, Gospel of Christ, power of God and salvation to everyone that believeth, to the Jew first, also to the Greek.
I would repeat that to myself as I took my steps down the hill to the train station because I needed it.
This is not something to be ashamed of.
It's the solution of for man's problems. We need it. They need it.
Our merchandise is good, what we have to offer is good. Candle goeth not out by night. There's some work going on at night to prepare for this.
Then it says verse 19, she layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaste.
I had to look up a few years ago, and I think it was four or five years ago, when I was meditating on these things, I had to look up where these things are because I didn't know what they were.
But my memory is right on this has to do with spinning a spinning wheel.
And, uh, making thread or yarn or whatever, umm, spindle. I forget what that was. I think one thing stretches the yarn out or whatever, and another thing you wind it up on. So our hands on those things.
Now those threads they make aren't very good for anything. I suppose you could tie things with them, but.
Point of bringing out is in order to make a shirt or whatever else, you've got to have the threads first.
And so there's a whole lot of preparation for the gospel work to be done.
It's true you can go out and preach the gospel on the on the street corner without any preparation.
But what I'm thinking of is the preparation in bringing people to the meeting.
Or to, uh, prepare for, prepare the room for, for our Augusta meeting.
There's a lot of preparation involved, not only for the speaker but for all those others.
If you and I are to be a faithful and a virtuous wife.
Woman.
For our husband, the largest is Christ.
There needs to be a little bit bit of preparation involved for helping his work, his service.
Verse 20 She stretches out her hand to the poor, yet she reaches forth her hands to the needy.
Helping the poor is a wonderful way to spread the gospel.
You know.
This bears on the subject of charity giving, giving to the Lord.
Much of our giving really is just giving to ourselves.
I put some money in the collection box this morning.
It perhaps has gone towards paying for a little vacation that I've had here with you dear brethren.
Uh, I get to see my friends, you guys.
I get to have a free place to sleep. I got free food.
Have I given to the poor? Not really.
Now, I'm not speaking against that.
But have we any sense that there is another need out there that we're not meeting? Or are we just, do we just give to ourselves?
00:35:10
Make nicer rooms for ourselves.
Whatever else, provide for our own.
Fellowship, as I say, I'm not speaking against that. I'm Speaking of.
The other need that we need to do if we want to be.
The Virtuous 1.
On to another subject in verse 21.
Well, she make it.
She's not afraid of the snow for her household, for her household, or clothed with scarlet.
What a wonderful thing it is to to know that you and I.
Are prepared for that which is ahead. The snow is the adversity.
Are you and I prepared for that? There is adversity to the lost, and I trust each and every one of us are prepared for that.
But there is also other adversity.
There's adversities in the assembly, there's adversities in family life.
Is our household prepared for that?
Are we close with the Scarlet?
You and I can help prepare each one in the household of faith for the adversities that.
Are out there, we can help prepare the lost for the adversity that is ahead of them if they are lost in their sins.
She her husband is known in the gate that says in verse 23.
When he sitteth among the elders of the land.
What I'd like to bring out from this verse.
And somehow or other, she, this woman has made her husband more important.
In the gates, that's where they did the judgment.
And it's for you and me to make our husband, our Master, our Lord the Lord Jesus Christ more important. And the way we do that?
Is to bring the Word of God and the fear of God to bear in every situation.
That is, when an issue comes up and everybody is discussing what to do, you and I can say, well, God's Word says that we ought not to do this.
Uh, Godsworth tells me not to lie.
Or you can say, well, I can't do that. Umm, I fear God. So bringing the word of God or the fear of God into that to bear on the situation is making the husband.
Unknown in the gates, when he sits among the elders of the land.
She maketh fine linen and selleth it, and Delivereth girdles unto the merchants. The merchants are some other people that that sell things, and you and I can't do it all.
Other people are out there serving the Lord, but you and I.
And help them. There are those that are making plaques that others pass out.
There are those that are providing gospel literature for others to pass out.
You and I can be of some help in this verse. 25 Strength and honor are her clothing, and she shall rejoice in time to come. In the next few verses I want to speak a little bit about the time to come.
There is such a thing as preparing for the time to come, and I don't mean salvation here, I mean in our assemblies.
I was asked a few times.
By various brothers.
How? How is the assembly?
Doing without our spiritual, UH, leader brother **** Orgas.
We were doing fine. You know why? Because he prepared for the time to come.
He didn't do it all.
00:40:00
He prepared us so that we could do without him when the time came that he had to leave.
Yet I see in some places where one brother.
We'll do all the teaching.
For *** **** often asked for somebody else to give a thought on something. I know he knew what we're I know he knew what the answer was. But he often asks for somebody else to give a thought on it.
And so he taught us the way to go. It's a little bit like what we heard yesterday.
Of being in the yolk and somebody learning and learning from another to walk the path.
There is a time to come.
Are you, if you're a leader of the assembly, preparing for the time to come?
She opened with her mouth with wisdom, and her and her tongue as the law of kindness. The law.
A law is a fixed principle.
Never is anything unkind said by such a one.
I've heard unkind things said.
That have been repeated to me.
Uh, from various ones and assemblies.
We thought never to be.
My brethren, these things ought not to be, it says.
Does uh, Sweetwater and and, uh, bitter water come out of the same fountain?
These things ought not to be, my brethren tells us in the book of James.
Talking with uh, I've talked with a lot of people, one fairly recently.
Uh, who have left the assembly?
And it's interesting how they can quote things that unkind, things that were said to them.
There needs to be a law of kindness.
On the tongue of everyone of us.
That doesn't mean I was that you never rebuked. I have been corrected and rebuked by my brethren many, many times.
So I'm grateful to say that.
It was done. It has been done with the tongue that had the law of kindness in it, and I'm grateful for those corrections.
Because I often need them and often make mistakes.
But uh.
If it's done with the love kindness, it's gratefully received.
She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of kindness.
Are those who are the leaders in the assembly looking well to the way of the household? Are they providing for the time to come the spiritual blessing and the benefit the leadership of the younger people?
I, my local brethren, will have to forgive me. I've told this story, I think a couple of times in Mount Tabor, but it's so much struck me that I have to tell it again. And, uh, a friend of mine spoke of having the privilege of visiting with.
Eric Smith for a while, I think he's there for a a week or so with in the same place where he's with Eric Smith.
Eric Smith was a missionary to Bolivia.
And perhaps you know that there are, I think, hundreds of assemblies and well.
Over 100 assemblies in Bolivia.
But he, he speaks of, uh, this time when he was visiting with brother Eric Smith.
And he tells me that he had a question for Eric Smith and so.
He got the opportunity and presented it to him.
And Eric Smith, uh.
Indicated that was an interesting question and so I'll think about that, he says.
I can't imagine that Eric Smith didn't know the answer to that question. I don't know what the question was, but I can't imagine that he didn't know the answer to it.
00:45:02
But they came back the next day or so. I think he told my friend, uh, that he should think about it also and, and it came back the next day or so and says to him, uh.
I've been thinking about that question you asked.
Uh, did you have any verses that would bear on that, uh, subject? And, and so my friend, that I won't give you his name. Uh, he says, yeah, I, I had this verse and Eric says, read it. He says, so here he was a 20, like a 2223 year old boy reading this verse to Eric Smith.
And Eric says to him, what does that mean to you?
And so he proceeded to expound the scriptures to Brother Eric Smith, who was, I think perhaps 80 at that time.
And then Eric says, do you have any other, uh, passages that you and ye Yes, he did. He thought about this other passage and.
And then he said, Eric System read that and he reads it.
And he has to expound it to Eric Smith again.
And then Eric asked him if he had anything else.
And he said, no, I didn't have anything else. Eric says, well, I had, I had one other thought. And he says, uh, and he, he said it was in verse, chapter, whatever verse.
And he had my friend read that verse also, and he says, what does that verse mean to you?
And so my friend then had to explain to Eric Smith the verse that Eric had found and how that bears on the subject that he brought out.
And then Eric Smith says, well, that's all I had.
When I heard that story, I said no wonder.
I said to myself, no wonder there are so many assemblies with us in Bolivia with a spiritual father like that.
I'm sure he could have answered that question in 2 minutes.
Thrown those 3 verses or whatever how many there were out right away, but there was a spiritual father who was intent on helping a young man grow in the things of the Lord, Help teaching him how to study, teaching him how to search out things for himself.
Are you a leading brother that somebody answers the question and you flip right to the an?
Right to the answer.
Don't do it.
Does your assembly ask a question and I'll look to you.
Don't answer.
That question is out there for the assembly.
I don't mean you should never answer, but you know what? I'm getting that.
There is more something far more important than answering that question.
It's developing that the ability of these younger brothers.
And sisters and your fellow brethren, maybe even older than you, it's developing their ability to search out the things for themselves.
See, this one looks well to the ways of the household.
They rejoice in the time to come, and when you are gone, that assembly will continue and it will be strong.
Her children rise up and call her blessed. I think it's a characteristic that those who take leadership and assemblies get hot shots.
If we're careful in what I'm just Speaking of.
Your children rise up and call you. Bless it.
We are called to honor and respect our elders and our leaders.
We all need to do that.
We need to be careful as elders and leaders that we do it in such a way that our children will rise up and call us blessed. They've been a blessing to me. My spiritual fathers have been a blessing to me.
May I be a blessing to them. Many daughters have done virtuously. Thou sells them all.
We get praise even if we goof up it seems like.
Uh, He, He loves us so much, favors deceitful beauty, is vain woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.
00:50:01

Wisdom is justified for all our children. That means that for the Lord Jesus.
His wisdom, His rightness, was vindicated by his works and by his followers, and by the lives of his followers.

Our God and Father, we ask thy blessing on thy word. We thank thee for it. Thank you for anything that encourages us in in life service. Help us to be.
Faithful to Him who has so loved us, help us to be diligent in our study of Thy Word. Help us to be those who help in the spread of the good news of salvation. Help us to be those who encourage one another to continue and provide for the time to come.
Yes, Thy blessing name for our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
