The Masterpiece 102
Truth

Brian Kocourek
This morning we will again review The Masterpiece spoken
by Brother Branham July 5th 1964 and we will read from paragraph 200.
THE
MASTERPIECE 64-0705
200 Oh, Church of the living
God, bow your hearts and yourselves before God. These things are true. I know that it sounds like that as such a great a thing as that would be, would be
so spread out over the nations; it
never was. He doesn't change His way. Just be thankful, Church, be thankful that you are where you are
today if you're in Christ. Because, you see, now, And when that, Remember, all
that Life will be gathered right into the Grain for the resurrection, but
the stalk must be burned, the rest of it.
The husk and all must be destroyed,
and it will be. Don't trust in your, them denominations. You stay in the Word, the Life, God and His Masterpiece. Then what
is it in the millennium? Christ and His
Bride, back in the garden of the millennium. Amen.
Now this morning, I would like to this thought where
he said, “Oh, Church of the living God, bow your hearts
and yourselves before God. These things
are true.”
Now, that may not sound like a very significant
statement, but you see, God has come in this hour to vindicate that his message
is True, and the things that have been presented to us in this sermon are true,
and the Message that William Branham has delivered to the people of this hour
is true, for God is the Only true God, and Jesus Christ is his son.
As I just said, these words have signification because
there is only one Truth and One God Who is that Truth.
Jesus the Son of God taught us that God is the only
True God as we see in John 18:37 where he said, “To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the
world, that I should bear witness unto
the truth. Everyone that is of the
truth heareth my voice.”
Jesus is saying that his very
purpose in life was to bear witness to The Truth, and then He made a statement
that only the Elect of God will believe as Truth, when he said, “Everyone that is of
the Truth will hear His Voice.” So we have a fact, a statement, that
Jesus whole purpose was to bear witness to the Truth. And we know God is the
only Truth there is.
Now, Scripture teaches us that God is the Only True God, as we see in Jeremiah 10:10 But
the LORD is the true God, he is the
living God, and an everlasting king:… So
the God we serve is the Only True God, and He is the Living God, and the
everlasting God.
So when Jesus says
that He was sent to bear witness to the Truth, and we know there is only one
source of Truth, and that must come from the One True God, then we must ask
ourselves how did Jesus to bear witness to the Truth, and the answer is that
Jesus only said what God told Him to say, and God backed up what he said.
John 12:
49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent
me, he gave me a commandment, what I
should say, and what I should speak.
John 12:
50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting:
whatsoever I speak therefore, even as
the Father said unto me, so I speak.
So we see that Jesus was sent into the world to bear witness to the
Truth, and therefore knowing that God is the way, the truth and the Life, John 14:6, therefore he said only what God told
him to say.
And in His prayer to the Father Jesus said in, John 17: 3 “And this is life eternal, that they might
know thee, The only True God, and
Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.”
So we see that Truth is a statement that has been proven to be
true. And how much more can it be
proven to be true than when a man tells us he is sent by God, and says what God
told Him to say, and then God Himself comes behind that man to vindicate that
what the man is saying is “Thus Saith the
Lord.” That is why Jesus said, “If you don’t believe me, then at least believe because of the
works which no man could do.” In other words, look, you might have a
hard time believing what I am telling you is the truth, but to back up what I
am saying, watch what God Himself is doing, because you know that no man can do
the things which the Father can do. And that is the vindication that it was
indeed God that sent me.
Jesus himself said in John 5:36 But I have greater witness than that of
John: for the works which the Father
hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the
Father hath sent me. (So Jesus is telling them that the works are what
vindicates that he is sent from God, because the works that he was doing no
other man could do. And then in the next verse he tells us that the presence of
God is also there to back up what he is saying.) 37 And the Father
himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither
heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. 38 And
ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom
he hath sent, him ye believe not. 39 Search
the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they
which testify of me. 40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. 41 I receive not honour from men. 42 But
I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. 43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if
another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. 44 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and
seek not the honour that cometh from God only? 45 Do
not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one
that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust. 46 For
had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. 47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my
words?
You know when I was in
In 2
Chronicles 15: 3we read, Now for a long season
Now, I do not say this
to be puffed up, but I say this so that you might know that I don’t go running
around the world to be seen or make a name for myself. I go because my Father
has sent me. If I wanted to make a name I would be holding my meetings to
combined churches, but instead I meet with the pastors, so they can keep their
favor with the people instead of having them bypass their pastor to look over
them to some man as so many others have done by going directly to the churches
and lording over God’s heritage.
One minister came to
me after the meetings right before I was to go to the airport to leave
Then I said, “Do you believe
everything brother Branham and this Bible teach”? And he said, “Yes, I do”. Then I said, “then why are you having such a hard time
with what I taught when I gave you hundreds of Scriptures and quotes from
Brother Branham showing you what he taught”. And he said, “I believe what he said, but I don’t believe
it the way you quoted it”. Then I asked him, “do you believe that the Body of Jesus was deity”, and he said “Yes I do”. I said, “then you don’t believe what brother Branham taught because he said the
Body was not deity”.
You see, these men only feed themselves, but they refuse to feed the
flock of God with the words of God. So they hold down the truth in unrighteousness,
which is un-right-wise-ness. And God rebuked this form of shepherd. In Ezekiel 34: we
read, 1 And
the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 2 Son of
man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them,
Thus saith the Lord GOD unto the shepherds; Woe be
to the shepherds of Israel that do feed
themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks? 3 Ye
eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill them that are fed: but ye feed not
the flock. 4 The
diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick,
neither have ye bound up that which was broken,
neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled
them. 5 And they were scattered, because there is no shepherd: and they became meat to all the
beasts of the field, when they were scattered. 6 My sheep wandered through all the
mountains, and upon every high hill: yea, my flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth, and none did search or seek after them. 7 Therefore,
ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD
8 [As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely because my flock became a
prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field, because there was
no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock; 9 Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the
word of the LORD; 10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against the
shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease
from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more;
for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them.
And again in Jeremiah
50: 6
My people hath been lost
sheep: their shepherds have caused them
to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone
from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their resting place.
WHEN THEIR EYES WERE OPENED 64-0212 100 Listen, brother, sister. The promised Word,
to be promised to you, and you can see it's the hour for that; but when God
reveals It, interprets It, then it's sinful to turn It away. Don't you never do
that. God opened his eyes by showing him the manifested Word that He had
promised, that It would take place. Now. Always does that the same way. He does
it. He never changes His system in doing it, no, sir, never. Always the same.
He promised the Scriptures for each and every age. And when He manifests that
Scripture promise for that age, the people who get their eyes open to see It
are the one who receives It.
And what is Faith?
Faith is a revelation, something that has been revealed to you. And if it has
not been revealed to you, then you are without Faith. Faithless. And that is what
these men are who refuse to teach doctrine. Brother Branham said if a man has not a
doctrine he has not a ministry. But did you know that if it has been
revealed to you, then it belongs to you? Certainly does. That's what God
Himself said in Deuteronomy 29:29 The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those
things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the
words of this law.
Therefore the things
which are revealed belong to us, and that is, they are meant to produce something
in us. He said, "that we may do all the words of this law".
Now
the word "do" used here does not necessitate works, but it speaks
rather of observing, or to attend to in order to acquire, and thus to step
forward and to act upon, as brother Branham preached the Message,
"Hearing, Recognizing and Acting upon the Word of God." And if we
truly do "hear", then we will truly "recognize", and if we
truly recognize, then we will truly "act upon" what we hear and
recognize. And the acting upon shows that we have truly recognized the Word for
what it truly is. And that makes the Word manifested to us a reality, and not
just some sort of intellectual conception to debate upon. And that’s what truth
is, Truth is a “Reality; or an actuality”.
That is why brother
Branham could say, "God interprets His Own Word by bringing it to
pass." God vindicates it by making it a reality or an actuality. God
actualizes His Own Word. He brings it to Life a;; around you. And then if you
actually see that Word come to pass, and you know it is the word which God had
promised in His Word, then when you see it, it is revealed to you and when it
is revealed to you, it becomes your own. Because God promised us that whatsoever
is revealed belongs to you and to your children.
Now, the reason they
can not se truth is like Paul says in 2 Corinthians
3: 15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the veil is upon
their heart. In other words, there is a blindness upon their
heart or rather, their understanding has become darkened as Paul continues
saying, 16 Nevertheless
when it (the heart or the
understanding)
shall turn to the Lord, the veil shall be taken away.( The blindness shall
be taken away... )
That's Revelations 3:18b anoint thine eyes with eye salve, that thou
mayest see. See what? 20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hears my
voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he
with me.
2 Corinthians 4:1 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received
mercy, we faint not; 2 But have renounced the hidden
things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God
deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every
man's conscience in the sight of God. 3 But if
our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost (there's your Psalms 1
again). 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them
which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the
image of God, should shine unto them.
5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus
the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. 6 For God, who
commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to
[give] the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face
(prosopon = person or presence i.e. Personal presence of Jesus Christ. 7 But we have this
treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God,
and not of us.
Therefore, we should
be able to see that God has come with the purpose to shine forth His Light upon
the minds of the elect, which He calls His Righteous, and by shining the Light
of His Glorious Presence upon His Righteous, It causes His Righteous to be changed
from Glory to Glory and from image to image. That's 2
Cor 3: 18 again... "But we all, with open face (an unveiled face, one which
has no traditions or creeds) beholding as in a glass (the mirror of the Word)
the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory,
[even] as by the Spirit of the Lord."
In other words, when
we pick up the Word of God, this Bible and look into it, we no longer see
ourselves, but we see Christ, and when we see Him, the longer we look the more
we are changed to be like Him.
I JOHN
3:2 Beloved,
now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we
know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as
he is. Therefore, by seeing Him as He really is, we are changed to be
like Him.
I
CORINTHIANS 13:9 For we know in part, and we
prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is perfect is come, then
that which is in part shall be done away. (And there is no one perfect but God... Then this speaks of when He,
God comes...) 11 When I was a
child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child,(why did I understand like a child?) I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away
childish things. 12 For now we see
through a glass, darkly; but then face to face, (Face to face? That
word is personal presence. Therefore, there is coming a time when I will see
Him Presence to Presence. ) now I know in part; but then
( When? At that time that He is personally here,) then shall I know even as also I am known. Know
= epiginosko , to become thoroughly acquainted with, to know thoroughly; to
know accurately, know well... to recognize; by sight, hearing, of certain
signs, to perceive who a person is...then will I understand...
Now, in Romans 10:13 we read, For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be
saved. 14 How then shall they call on him in
whom they have not believed and how shall they believe in him of whom they have
not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher (Even though they
say they hear, thy boast in vain, unless they hear true preachers; for to hear
false prophets means as much as not to hear. They hear
and they do not hear; They have ears, but do not hear, nor do they preach the
Word of God. ? 15 And how shall they preach,
except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that
preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! ?
This is directed against all conceited teachers and arrogant instructors.
If you will notice in verse 13 to 15 there are four
statements that Paul makes that of which follow together in such a way that one
leads to the other, but so that the last forms the foundation on which the
others rest. Thus we see from what Paul said, that it is impossible that those
preach who are not sent, It then is impossible for those to hear who are
without a preacher, and it is impossible for them to believe who do not hear,
and thus it would be impossible for them to call upon the name of the Lord who
do not believe. And thus it would be impossible for them who do not call upon
the name of the Lord to be saved.
So then, the entire source and origin of
salvation rests on this, that God sends out someone, (A true minister of the
Word). If He does not send out any, then they who preach,
preach falsely, and their preaching is no preaching at all. In fact, it would
be better for them not to preach. Then also they who hear, hear error, and it
would be better for them not to hear. Then
also they who believe, would believe false doctrine, and it would be better for
them not to believe. Then also they who call upon Him would call falsely (upon
a false Lord), and it would be better for them not to call. For such preachers do not preach, such hearers do not hear; such believers do not believe; such callers do not call; they
will be damned because they would be saved by falsehood.
Then we would see what is spoken of in Proverbs 1:28 which says, "Then
shall they call upon me, But I ill not answer; they shall seek me early, but
they shall not find me: for that they hated knowledge and did not choose the
fear of the Lord."
Romans 10:16 But they have not
all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
17 So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by
the word of God. The true, revealed, and vindicated Word of God.
Then can you see the
importance this morning of receiving a vindicated Ministry? Because if it is
not vindicated, then how do you know what you are hearing is not error? And if
it is error, then you would believe error, and if you believe error, then you
would be calling out to a wrong God, and if you call out to a wrong God, then
how could you be saved? Therefore, God has come down to vouch safe His own
Presence among us. We know that we are the Elect of God because He said so
through a vindicated vessel. It is not just something we have read in a book,
but God Himself has come down and has spoken through the lips of His Prophet
whom He has vindicated and that is what I am standing on this morning.
And in Jeremiah 23: 4 we read “And I will set up
shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be
dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the LORD.”
And in Ezekiel 11: 19 we read, And I will give them one heart,(that means one understanding) and I will put a new spirit within you; and I
will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of
flesh:
Jeremiah
32: 39 And I will give them one heart, (one understanding) and one way, that they may fear me for ever,
for the good of them, and of their children after them:
Jeremiah
24: 7 And I will give them an heart (that’s one heart, an speaks of one, I will give them
one understanding) to know me, that I am the LORD: and they shall be my people,
and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart.
And that one understanding is the Revelation of Jesus
Christ for there is one Lord and one Faith and faith is a revelation, therefore
there is but one Revelation of Jesus Christ and therefore One Doctrine of
Christ, and if you do not have that Doctrine of Christ you do not have God. That
is what John said. And if You do not have God then you do not have His Spirit.
And if you do not have His spirit, then you are not even born again.
So I go around the world because God showed me a need for these meetings,
and He has opened the doors for these meetings, and He has closed doors to
where he doesn’t want me to go, and He has opened doors where he wants me to
go, so I do not worry, because to be honest, I don’t like to travel. I would
rather stay home and sail my boat and go golfing, and play tennis, and do some
things to bring rest to my weary body, than to run around the world and put up
with a bunch of unbelieving ministers trying to lay traps for me to trip up on.
I would rather have a church that was large enough to
support me in the ministry so I would not have to work two jobs, so I could
stay and be a shepherd and give love and receive love, and not have to take on
my shoulders the burden of the entire world as far as the Doctrine of Christ is
concerned. But God has placed that burden on me, and me only. I do not see
anyone else going to where the brethren are crying out in the spirit for God to
bring them to the stature of sons of God. I only wish others would share this burden
because it has made me old very fast. But as I said to my loving Father before He
began to wake up the sleeping virgin around the world to the Doctrine of
Christ. I had told some of you here that I would not go certain places, and
then God rebuked my lazy heart and I accepted His rebuke, and in accepting His
rebuke, He has opened up the entire world, at least 85% of the countries in
this world are feeding from the website, and I will only go where he tells me
to go, and we minister to the people he sends us to minister to.
And when the light strikes upon that truth, it brings
forth the manifestation of the covenant of God to His chosen people. And in
examining this principle or truth that brother Branham established here this
morning, we know that the opposite of truth is falsehood, and if we are not in
truth then we are in falsehood.
Now, if you all recall, God has set upon us in this
hour His divine covenants. And we saw in our study of the rainbow covenant that
trueness is represented by the blue color. But it takes the light upon the rain
to bring into manifestation the rainbow. And we know the rainbow represents the
Covenants of God brought into manifestation by the light of His Glorious
presence. And when the light strikes the rain the rainbow comes into view, and
when the Light strikes the doctrine of Christ, then all the divine promises of
God concerning His Son come into view as well. In Deuteronomy God tells us that
His doctrine shall fall as the rain, so God likeness His Doctrine to the rain.
Now, you can not have a rainbow without having light strike the rain. So light
upon the doctrine will bring into manifestation all the divine promises of God
to us in this hour. God’s covenant comes into manifestation because of the
light upon the doctrine, and it is presented to those who are walking in the
light and the rain or the doctrine.
And brother Branham said the blue in the rainbow
represents the trueness of God, for God is not a man that he could lie. So what
is truth? Truth is a statement that
has been proven to be true. Truth is a reality. Truth is an actuality. Truth is
that which was hidden becoming know. God’s Word is truth.
Brother Branham talked about John the Baptist and how
he did not care what people thought, but rather he only cared what God thought,
and what God wanted him to say. Events made clear
by prophecy 65-0801E P:50 How he knowed where he was standing. He knowed exactly. He'd
heard from God, and it was exactly with the Word, so he didn't care what people
said. He preached It and prophesied It anyhow. And watch, when a man stands for what is Truth, then God's obligated to vindicate
that man the truth.
So truth is Truth
is a statement that has been proven
to be true. Truth is a reality. Truth is an actuality, and therefore what could
show truth more than for God to vindicate it to be truth.
Trying
to do God a service 65-0718M P:96 The Lord your God has
declared to you what is Truth.
The Lord your God has vindicated what is
Truth by His Word and by His Spirit. "Not by power, not by
might, but by My Spirit." And the Spirit, God, seeks those who worship Him
in the Spirit and Truth.
"Thy Word is Truth."
And He's thoroughly a-vindicated that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday,
today, and forever. He's showed the evening seeds to you. He's revealed it to
you in the Word. He's proven it to you by His Spirit.
And we find in 1 John 2: 21 I
have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know
it, and that no lie is of the truth.
So how could these men say they
believe the Truth when they lie and say brother Vayle and I preach two Gods.
Jesus said of them, John 8: 44 Ye
are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a
murderer from the beginning, and abode
not in the truth, because there is no
truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a
liar, and the father of it. So the
lies they speak are of their own, and can not be God’s Words, because God can
not lie. God is not a man that He could lie. And if they were God’s Words that
these men are speaking, then they could not lie, and they would have to be
speaking truth, but since they have manifested themselves that what they went around
telling others were indeed lies, then they have also at the same time
manifested themselves that they do not speak God’s Word. And if not God’s words
then therefore they must of essentiality be speaking lies.
And if they were speaking the truth, then they would love me for my
Father sent me to teach what He commanded His prophet to teach. 1 Peter 1: 22 Seeing ye have purified your
souls in obeying the truth through
the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another
with a pure heart fervently: And
brother Branham said, you that Love this Word ought to love one another. And
John said, hereby do we know that you are of God, that you love one another.
And if you love one another, you won’t go around lying about one another, and
you won’t go around saying lies about what brother Branham taught either,
showing you do not believe Him to be God’s prophet.
In fact that I what Paul said in, Hebrews 10:
26 For if we sin willfully, (And sin is unbelief, so if we disbelieve willfully), after that we have received the knowledge of
the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, (there
remaineth no more sacrifice for your unbelief.)
But as it was in the Alpha so must come in the Omega. 2 Timothy 3: 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood
Moses, so do these also resist the truth:(now to resist means to stand against, so these are ) men of corrupt
minds, (destructive minds) reprobate concerning the faith. (rejected and cast
ways concerning The Faith, or the Revelation of Jesus Christ).
But they keep listening to tapes, and they are 2 Timothy 3: 7 Ever learning, (but they are) never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Because Truth is a reality and this reality
comes via revelation which only comes from God.
But because they do not love the truth God sends them a deluding
influence that they might believe The Lie. 2
Thessalonians 2: 10 And
with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they
received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And
for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a
lie: 12 That
they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in
unrighteousness.
And that is why they go off after heresies such as
Paul said would come. 2 Timothy 2: 18 Who concerning the truth have
erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of
some.
But if we are elect we, Paul said in 2
Corinthians 13: 8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but
for the truth.
Ephesians
4: 15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all
things, which is the head, even Christ:
2
Corinthians 4: 2 But have renounced the hidden things of
dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully;
but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's
conscience in the sight of God.
1 John 2:
4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a
liar, and the truth is not in him.
1 John 1:
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth
is not in us.
1 John 1:
6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we
lie, and do not the truth:
James 5:
19 Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one
convert him;
James 3:
14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts,
glory not, and lie not against the truth.
2 Timothy
4: 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall
be turned unto fables.
1 Timothy
6: 5 Per: disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the
truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
1 Timothy
4: 3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats,
which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe
and know the truth.
Galatians
5: 7Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey
the truth?
Galatians
4: 16 Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the
truth?
Galatians
3: 1 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should
not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set
forth, crucified among you?
1
Corinthians 13: 6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in
the truth;
Romans 9:
1 I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me
witness in the Holy Ghost,
Romans 2:
8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but
obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
Romans 1:
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all
ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
John 17:
19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might
be sanctified through the truth.
