This episode is a continuation of our journey through Galatians. We look at Abraham as an example of being counted righteous apart from works. In many ways, this episode serves as a link in the chain. In it we look back at things we have discussed so far and revisit those truths, and in it we also set the stage for the conversation we will have next time.

**CORRECTIONS**

At one point, I said "In John 2:24-23" (which makes no sense). What I meant to say was John 2:24-25.

I accidentally added the word "and" to 1 Peter 4:10-11. It didn't change the meaning, but here is the verse verbatim: "As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen."

I did something similar with 1 Corinthians 12:14, which says, "For the body does not consist of one member but of many."

**CORRECTIONS**

When quoting John 12:38, I accidentally added the word "has" where it wasn't. It didn't affect the meaning, but here is the verse verbatim: "so that the word spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled: 'Lord, who has believed what he heard from us, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?'"

When quoting Psalm 115:1 I accidentally omitted the word "your" once. It doesn't change the meaning, but here is the verse correctly: "Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory, for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness!"

**CORRECTIONS/CLARIFICATIONS**

When quoting Ephesians 2:11-12, I accidentally omitted the word "that" and added the word "the". This doesn't change the meaning, but here are the verses verbatim: "Therefore remember that at one time you Gentiles in the flesh, called “the uncircumcision” by what is called the circumcision, which is made in the flesh by hands—remember that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world."

One of the times I quoted Luke 9:48, I accidentally added the word "the". It didn't change the meaning, but here is that part of the verse exactly, "For he who is least among you all is the one who is great.”
