Eph-80-81 - Lesson 25 - Ephesians 3: 9-15
Last week, I think some of you know I got real disgustepated, because a certain piece of work that I'd requested to be done, was done, but it didn't suit me, because it didn' t get to me in time, that I had time to look it over before I went in to teach. That' s why I quit teaching when I finally had to get to it. But this week we got it worked out, and we got it worked out accurately where it makes sense and it communicates. And all of you were given a copy of this opening of the Corps, tonight. The rest of you at the campuses will get yours, because we printed enough for every campus.

Dr. Wierwille: Now all of those are in Ephesians 2:5 and 6, right, Walter? Walter: Verse 5 and 6 of chapter two. Dr. Wierwille: Okay. Walter: Now Ephesians 2:19-22 has the words ' fellow citizens,' or ' citizens together with.' And that' s the word sumpolitai.
