**CORRECTIONS/CLARIFICATIONS**

At 3:24 when discussing the word for pride I say "The first word is 'hyper". I meant to say that the first word is "huper". "Hyper" is a transliteration of the Greek word "huper". Not really a substantial point, but I still wanted to be thorough and clear.

At around 4:25 I mentioned Matthew 23:12. While this passage does not use the same word for “proud” as James 4:6, it absolutely communicates the same concept through the word “exalts”. Different word, same concept.

At around 27:18 I said something to the effect of, “I didn’t even know what the English word ‘abomination’ meant, let alone the Greek word.” I meant to say “let alone the Hebrew word”, because this verse was originally written in Hebrew.
