    OPENING PRAYER:

    Father, help me to understand the meaning of the second death in Jesus’ name.

    PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE:

    The teacher should allow the assistant teacher to review the lesson for the previous week.

    BIBLE READING

    BIBLE PASSAGE: Revelation 20:11-15

    11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
    12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
    13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
    14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
    15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

    MEMORY VERSE:

    “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” Revelation 21:8.

    LESSON INTRODUCTION

    The second death is one of the final events in the Bible described as the eternal death in “the lake which burn with fire and brimstone” (Revelation 21:8).

    It is a “death” in that it is a separation from God, the Giver of life. It is called the “second” because it follows physical death. The eternal agony in the lake of fire is the second death.

    TEACHER’S DIARY

    LESSON AIM: To enlighten believers on the reality of the second death.

    TEACHING OBJECTIVES: At the end of this study, students should be able to:

    • Describe the term second death.
    • Identify the candidates of the second death.
    • Explain the call to action to avoid the second death.

    TEACHING PLAN: To achieve the above-stated objectives, the teacher should:

    a. Allow the students to recite the memory verse, read the Bible passage, contribute to the discussion, and do class activities and assignment.

    b. Allow the Assistant Teacher to see to the well-being of the class, and mark attendance and assignment.

    c. Teach the lesson outline, summarise, conclude, evaluate the lesson and give assignment.

    TEXT REVIEW: Revelation 20:11-15

    This passage identities three things that will characterise the second death namely:

    i. Death.
    ii. ….
    iii…..

    TEACHING METHOD: The Lecture Method

    TIME MANAGEMENT: The teacher should apply the two-lesson outline teaching time.

    LESSON OUTLINE 1: CANDIDATES OF THE SECOND DEATH

    A. The Bible makes it clear that those who overcome and share in the first resurrection will not experience the second death (Revelation 2:11; 20:6).

    i. The second death is exclusively for those who rejected Christ and His saving grace.

    ii. These include “the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars.” (Revelation 21:8).

    B. At the end of time, even death and hell will be thrown into the lake of fire (Revelation 20:14).

    i. In addition, every person not included in the book of life will be thrown into the lake of fire (Revelation 20:15).

    ii. This condition will be final; the destination is permanent.

    CLASS ACTIVITY 1:

    Using Luke 16:24 as a reference, the class should mention some of the likely experiences of those who will partake in the second death.

    LESSON OUTLINE 2: CALL TO ACTION

    A. The inevitability of Christ’s return (Mark 13:33) and the second death should motivate:

    i. How we live (Matthew 5:16).

    ii. How we witness the gospel to unbelievers (2 Timothy 4:2).

    B. This is because God has no pleasure in the death of sinners (Ezekiel 33:11) and He is exercising a lot of patience tor sinners to repent and be saved (2 Peter 3:8-2).

    CLASS ACTIVITY 2:

    Students should discuss how they plan to help their unsaved relatives/friends escape the second death before it is too late (Reference: Luke 16:27-31)

    CONCLUSION: RCCG Sunday School Teachers Manual 23 August 2026

    The second death is a reference to the lake of fire where those who are separated from God by their sin will dwell for eternity. Be holy!

    EVALUATION:

    What is the call to action for believers on the second death?

    CLOSING PRAYER:

    Father, help me to make heaven in Jesus’ name.

    RCCG SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS MANUAL LESSON 50 (16 AUGUST 2026)

    TOPIC: THE RESURRECTION

    OPENING PRAYER:

    Father, help me to comprehend the mystery of the resurrection.

    PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE:

    The teacher should allow the assistant teacher to review the lesson for the previous week.

    BIBLE READING

    BIBLE PASSAGE: John 5:28-29

    28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
    29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

    MEMORY VERSE:

    “And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.” Daniel 12:2.

    LESSON INTRODUCTION

    Scripture reveals that resurrection is a reality and this life is not all that there is. While death is the end of physical life, it is not the end of human existence.

    Everyone will be raised from the dead, but not everyone will share the same destiny (Acts 24:15; Matthew 25:46). The New Testament reveals further details of separate resurrections for the just and the unjust.

    TEACHER’S DIARY

    LESSON AIM: To study about the resurrection.

    TEACHING OBJECTIVES: At the end of this study, students should be able to:

    • Understand the significance of the resurrection.
    • Know the two categories of resurrection.
    • Explain the stages of the first resurrection.
    • Differentiate between the first resurrection and the second resurrection.

    TEACHING PLAN: To achieve the above-stated objectives, the teacher should:

    a. Allow the students to recite the memory verse, read the Bible passage, contribute to the discussion, and do class activities and assignment.

    b. Allow the Assistant Teacher to see to the well-being of the class, and mark attendance and assignment.

    c. Teach the lesson outline, summarise, conclude, evaluate the lesson and give assignment.

    TEXT REVIEW: John 5:28-29.

    Jesus in declaring His authority to execute judgement over all things emphasised that even the dead will hear His voice and those who have done good will be resurrected unto life while those who did evil will be resurrected unto damnation.

    TEACHING METHOD: The Lecture Method

    TIME MANAGEMENT: The teacher should apply the two-lesson outline teaching time.

    LESSON OUTLINE 1: THE FIRST RESURRECTION

    A. Revelation 20:4-6 mentions a “first resurrection” and identifies those involved as “blessed and holy.”

    i. The second death (the lake of fire, Revelation 20:14) has no power over these individuals.
    ii. The first resurrection, then, is the raising of all believers.
    iii. It corresponds with Jesus’ teaching of the “resurrection of the just” (Luke 14:14) and the “resurrection of life” (John 5:29).

    B. The first resurrection takes place in various stages:

    i. Jesus Christ Himself – the “first fruits” (1 Corinthians
    15:20, paved the way for the resurrection of all who believe in Him (1 Peter 1:3). Christ’s resurrection is the basis of the Christian’s certainty that all people who have died will one day be raised to face fair and even-handed judgement by Jesus Christ (Acts
    17:30-31).

    ii. The saints who slept were raised after Christ’s resurrection to make an appearance in Jerusalem (Matthew 27:50-53).

    iii. There will be the resurrection of “the dead in Christ” at the Lord’s return (1 Thessalonians 4:16). It will occur at the time of the rapture (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17). The apostle Paul explained that not all Christians will die, but all will be changed, i.e., given ‘resurrection-type’ bodies (1 Corinthians 15:51-53).
    Christians who are alive and those who have already died will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air and be with Him always.

    iv. The resurrection of the believers in Jesus who died during the tribulation and the martyrs at the end of the tribulation (Revelation 20:4). Some of the peo ple left behind on earth will repent during this time and trust in Jesus as their Saviour. Tragically, most of them will pay for their faith in Jesus by losing their lives (Revelation 6:9-11; 7:9, 13-14). These will be resurrected at Christ’s return (second phase) to reign with Him for a thousand years on earth (Revelation 20:4,6).

    v. Isaiah 65:17-20 suggests another resurrection at the end of the millennium. Some believers may die a physical death during the millennium.

    CLASS ACTIVITY 1:

    Using Isaiah 65:17-20, students should discuss the possibility of having some believers still living in their physical body during the millennium.

    LESSON OUTLINE 2: THE SECOND RESURRECTION

    This is the resurrection of those who rejected Jesus as their saviour;

    i. They will experience the second death or eternal separation from God.

    ii. It is the raising of all unbelievers and the wicked, judged at the great white throne before being cast into the lake of fire (Revelation 20:11-15).

    iii. It corresponds with Jesus’ teaching of the “resurrection of damnation” (John 5:29).

    CLASS ACTIVITY 2:

    When will the second resurrection take place? Discuss.

    CONCLUSION: RCCG Sunday School Teachers Manual 16 August 2026

    What great rejoicing will attend the first resurrection!
    What great anguish at the second!
    What a responsibility we have to share the Gospel! (Jude 23-24).

    EVALUATION:

    Mention the stages of the first resurrection.

    CLOSING PRAYER:

    Father, I refuse to partake in the second resurrection in Jesus’ name.

    TOPIC: THE BOOK OF LIFE

    OPENING PRAYER:

    Father, help me to know the significance of the Book of Life in Jesus’ name.

    PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE:

    The teacher should allow the assistant teacher to review the lesson for the previous week.

    BIBLE READING

    BIBLE PASSAGE: Revelation 20:11-15

    11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
    12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
    13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
    14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
    15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

    MEMORY VERSE:

    “And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.” Revelation 20:12.

    LESSON INTRODUCTION

    The Scripture establishes two kinds of eternity: eternal life and eternal damnation (Revelation 20:6). It also establishes that there are “Books” and there is the “Book” which is the book of life (Revelation 20:12). This book of life is different from “the book of the living” mentioned in Psalm 69:28 which is earthly; a physical life, and not eternal life. This book of life according to the Bible is the same as the Lamb’s book of life (Revelation 21:27). God is the greatest recorder and rewarder. He knows those who are His and has their records. He also has the records of those who do not belong to Him (2 Timothy 2:19).

    TEACHER’S DIARY

    LESSON AIM: To study the concept of the Book of life.

    TEACHING OBJECTIVES: At the end of this study, students should be able to:

    • Describe the Book of life and its significance.
    • Differentiate the Book of life from other books mentioned in the Scriptures.
    • Identify those whose names will not be in the book.

    TEACHING PLAN: To achieve the above-stated objectives, the teacher should:

    a. Allow the students to recite the memory verse, read the Bible passage, contribute to the discussion, and do class activities and assignment.

    b. Allow the Assistant Teacher to see to the well-being of the class, and mark attendance and assignment.

    c. Teach the lesson outline, summarise, con-clude, evaluate the lesson and give assignment.

    TEXT REVIEW: Revelation 20:11-15.

    Two books are mentioned in this passage. The dead that will stand before God and be judged from the books are sinners who will partake in the second death or eternal punishment because their names are not written in the ‘Book of Life’ which is meant for the saints.

    TEACHING METHOD: The Lecture Method

    TIME MANAGEMENT: The teacher should apply the two-lesson outline teaching time.

    LESSON OUTLINE 1: THE “BOOKS” VERSUS THE ‘BOOK OF LIFE’

    A. The “Book of Life” is described in Revelation 3:5 as the book containing the set of names of those who will live with God forever.

    i. At the great white throne judgement, sinners will be judged according to their deeds in “the books.”
    ii. Anyone who goes for this judgement does not have his name in the “Book of Life” and such is doomed for eternal damnation (Revelation 20:11-15).

    B. The “Book of Life” contains the names of those who have been redeemed by the blood of Jesus (Revelation 5:9; 21:22).

    i. Saints, who have laboured faithfully, have the assurance of being registered in the book of lite (Philippians 4:3).
    ii. There is a proportionate reward for the works of the Saints (1 Corinthians 3:13-15).

    C. Our greatest joy should be that our names are in the “Book of Life.”

    i. To have your name written in the book of life, you must be born again.
    ii. Any “believer” that sins or falls away from the faith – apostasy (Hebrews 6:4-6) and refuses to repent, will have his name blotted out of the book of life (Revelation 3:1-5).
    iii. Heaven must be our priority in all we do (Luke 10:20)

    CLASS ACTIVITY 1:

    Is it every time a believer sins that his/her name is blotted out of the book of life and rewritten when he/she repents? Discuss.

    LESSON OUTLINE 2: WHO WILL NOT BE IN THE BOOK OF LIFE?

    The Bible says that anyone who refuses to accept Christ as Lord and Saviour is already condemned (John 3:18; 5:24).

    i. People who indulge in the works of the flesh will not be found in the book of life (Galatians 5:20-21).

    ii. The abominable, unbelieving, liars, sorcerers, idolaters, etc. will not have their names in the book of life (Revelation 21:8, 27).

    iii. The apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 further states the categories of people whose names would not be in the book of life.

    CLASS ACTIVITY 2:

    Will those who will not hear about Christ before their death make heaven?

    CONCLUSION: RCCG Sunday School Teachers Manual 9 August 2026

    Being born again is indeed the prerequisite for eternal life but we must work out our salvation with fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12).

    EVALUATION:

    Mention four categories of people that will not be found in the book of life.

    CLOSING PRAYER:

    Father, please do not let my name be blotted out of the Book of life in Jesus’ name.

    ASSIGNMENT: RCCG Sunday School Teachers Manual Lesson 49

    Mention two (2) sets of people who will have their names in the book of life (5×2=10 Marks).

    13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
    14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
    15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

    MEMORY VERSE:

    “And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.” Revelation 20:12.

    LESSON INTRODUCTION

    The Scripture establishes two kinds of eternity: eternal life and eternal damnation (Revelation 20:6). It also establishes that there are “Books” and there is the “Book” which is the book of life (Revelation 20:12). This book of life is different from “the book of the living” mentioned in Psalm 69:28 which is earthly; a physical life, and not eternal life. This book of life according to the Bible is the same as the Lamb’s book of life (Revelation 21:27). God is the greatest recorder and rewarder. He knows those who are His and has their records. He also has the records of those who do not belong to Him (2 Timothy 2:19).

    LESSON OUTLINE 1: THE “BOOKS” VERSUS THE ‘BOOK OF LIFE’

    A. The “Book of Life” is described in Revelation 3:5 as the book containing the set of names of those who will live with God forever.

    i. At the great white throne judgement, sinners will be judged according to their deeds in “the books.”
    ii. Anyone who goes for this judgement does not have his name in the “Book of Life” and such is doomed for eternal damnation (Revelation 20:11-15).

    B. The “Book of Life” contains the names of those who have been redeemed by the blood of Jesus (Revelation 5:9; 21:22).

    i. Saints, who have laboured faithfully, have the assurance of being registered in the book of lite (Philippians 4:3).
    ii. There is a proportionate reward for the works of the Saints (1 Corinthians 3:13-15).

    C. Our greatest joy should be that our names are in the “Book of Life.”

    i. To have your name written in the book of life, you must be born again.
    ii. Any “believer” that sins or falls away from the faith – apostasy (Hebrews 6:4-6) and refuses to repent, will have his name blotted out of the book of life (Revelation 3:1-5).
    iii. Heaven must be our priority in all we do (Luke 10:20)

    CLASS ACTIVITY 1:

    Is it every time a believer sins that his/her name is blotted out of the book of life and rewritten when he/she repents? Discuss.

    LESSON OUTLINE 2: WHO WILL NOT BE IN THE BOOK OF LIFE?

    The Bible says that anyone who refuses to accept Christ as Lord and Saviour is already condemned (John 3:18; 5:24).

    i. People who indulge in the works of the flesh will not be found in the book of life (Galatians 5:20-21).

    ii. The abominable, unbelieving, liars, sorcerers, idolaters, etc. will not have their names in the book of life (Revelation 21:8, 27).

    iii. The apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 further states the categories of people whose names would not be in the book of life.

    CLASS ACTIVITY 2:

    Will those who will not hear about Christ before their death make heaven?

    CONCLUSION: RCCG Sunday School Students Manual 9 August 2026

    Being born again is indeed the prerequisite for eternal life but we must work out our salvation with fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12).

    ASSIGNMENT: RCCG Sunday School Students Manual Lesson 49

    Mention two (2) sets of people who will have their names in the book of life (5×2=10 Marks).

    BIBLE READING

    BIBLE PASSAGE: Revelation 16:12-16

    12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
    13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
    14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
    15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
    16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

    MEMORY VERSE:

    “And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.”
    Revelation 16:16.

    LESSON INTRODUCTION

    In the Bible, the word “Armageddon” comes from the Hebrew word “Har-Magedone,” which means “Mount Megiddo.” It refers to the predicted location of the catastrophic future battle between God and the forces of evil, as recorded in the book of Revelation.

    History tells us that armies have fought countless battles in that region: Egyptians, Assyrians, Greeks, Romans, and Crusaders fought in Megiddo, as well as the armies of Napoleon. Megiddo was the site of battles during World War I in 1918 and the Arab-Israeli War of 1948.

    TOPIC: THE WOUNDED SOLDIER

    OPENING PRAYER:

    Father, teach me how to respond to wounds in the discharge of my duty as Your soldier in Jesus’ name.

    PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE:

    The teacher should allow the assistant teacher to review the lesson for the previous week.

    BIBLE READING

    BIBLE PASSAGE: 2 Corinthians 2:5-8

    5 But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all.
    6 Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many.
    7 So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.
    8 Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward him.

    MEMORY VERSE:

    “Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyselt, lest thou also be tempted.” Galatians 6:1.

    LESSON INTRODUCTION

    A soldier is a person who is a member of an army. As Christians, we are soldiers of Christ called out from the darkness of the world to fight for the faith we profess in Jesus. No wonder Apostle Paul says,…endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ (2Timothy 2:3).

    However, the Christian soldier may be wounded during this fight. This may be due to the enemy’s attack, sin, carelessness, backsliding, loss, betrayal, hurt, being aggrieved, backstabbing, etc. This injury must be treated and the wounded soldier restored so that the person is not completely lost.

    TEACHER’S DIARY

    LESSON AIM:

    To promote among believers, the virtues of discipline, compassion and restoration as soldiers of Christ.

    TEACHING OBJECTIVES:

    Through this study, students should be able to:

    • Know that they are soldiers of Christ.
    • Understand that being a soldier of Christ means they can be wounded.
    • Endure discipline and develop a compassionate heart for other soldiers.
    • Develop the capacity to restore those who are wounded back to the fold.

    TEACHING PLAN:

    To achieve the above-stated objectives, the teacher should:

    • Allow the students to recite the memory verse, read the Bible passage, contribute to the discussion, and do class activities and assignment.
    • Allow the Assistant Teacher to see to the wellbeing of the class, and mark attendance and assignment.
    • Teach the lesson outline, summarise, conclude, evaluate the lesson and give assignment.

    TEXT REVIEW: 2 Corinthians 2:5-8

    A man had committed a serious sin and the apostle Paul had previously addressed it sternly and encouraged the Church to discipline the offender.

    However, in this letter, Paul emphasises the importance of forgiveness and reconciliation, reminding the Corinthians that the punishment inflicted on the man was sufficient and that the church should now reaffirm their love for him since he has repented. He stated that:

    i. If any have caused grief, he had not grieved me, but in part that I may not overcharge you all. V5.

    ii. …..vб.

    iii. …… V7.

    iv. ……V8.

    TEACHING METHOD:

    The Lecture/Discussion Method.

    TIME MANAGEMENT:

    The teacher should apply the two-lesson outline teaching time.

    LESSON OUTLINE 1: DISCIPLINE AND COMPASSION

    The teacher should explain the two sections in this outline and allow the students to contribute to the lesson to make it interactive.

    A. Discipline

    i. The Christian soldier who sustains an injury due to sin, misbehaviour, carelessness, avoidable mistakes, etc. must be disciplined in love and according to God’s word so that the person may learn and serve as an example to others (1 Timothy 5:20).

    ii. This discipline must have a period it will last.

    iii. The offender must know why the discipline is being enforced.

    iv. Correction may seem grievous to the offender but it is the son that the father loves, that he chastises (Proverbs 15:10; Hebrews 12:7-8, 11).

    B. Compassion

    i. If the injury was due to a loss, the Christian soldier must be shown enough compassion until fully re-established (Romans 12:15)

    ii. Those who suffer from unjust treatment, backstab-bing, hurt, etc. must be attended to by those who know the truth to right the wrong if possible (Acts 6:1-3).

    CLASS ACTIVITY 1:

    In light of the above points raised, is it right to suspend an accused indefinitely before an investigation is concluded? Discuss

    LESSON OUTLINE 2: RESTORATION

    Restoring the wounded soldier is a process which would require the following:

    1. Love: Genuine love must play an active role in the restoration process. God disciplined David when he committed adultery but he did not dethrone or kill him (2 Samuel 12:12-14; Romans 12:9-10).
    2. Build A Strong Support System: A good network of faithful believers must provide the necessary succour and a good landing for the wounded soldier (Galatians 6:1).
    3. Never Leave The Wounded Soldier Alone: We must not allow the wounded soldier to be all alone; this may worsen the person’s state rather than heal it. (Galatians 6:2)
    4. Care And Visit: Our visitation must be deliberate and purposeful. We must take time to comfort with words trom the scriptures, and use good practical examples, etc. We must also take time to pray for and with the wounded soldier (Romans 12:5; 15:4; 1 Thessalonians 5:25).
    5. Never Castigate: The wounded soldier who has been disciplined or aggrieved does not need to be criticised because ‘being down does not mean being out’ (Proverbs 12:18; Matthew 7:1-2).
    6. Not A Plague: We must never treat the wounded soldier as someone struck with a pandemic rather we must seek atter the wounded soldier so that the person does not go down into depression or another sin (1 Corinthians 12:25-26).
    7. Do Not Trample Upon: We must consciously lift this wounded soldier up and never crush such a person through any negative attitude.
    8. Open To Correction: The wounded soldier must also be open to correction and comfort of the Holy Ghost (Proverbs 12:1; 2 Samuel 12:13) to be fully restored into the told (Philemon 1:10-12).

    CLASS ACTIVITY 2:

    Why do fellow Christians desert and treat those undergoing discipline like plagues?

    CONCLUSION: RCCG Sunday School Teachers Manual 26 July 2026

    The wounded soldier must be recovered and fully restored.

    EVALUATION:

    What roles do discipline and compassion play in handling a wounded soldier?

    CLOSING PRAYER:

    Father, please help me to be an obedient and compassionate soldier of Christ.

    8. Open To Correction: The wounded soldier must also be open to correction and comfort of the Holy Ghost (Proverbs 12:1; 2 Samuel 12:13) to be fully restored into the told (Philemon 1:10-12).
