In his sermon titled 'As Many As Have Sinned Without The Law,' Pastor Steve Hopkins of Barnet Bible Church discusses Romans 2:12-16. He emphasizes the universal need for Jesus, highlighting that all people, regardless of their knowledge of the law, are guilty and in need of salvation through Christ. Pastor Hopkins stresses that conscience reveals a basic sense of right and wrong, leaving no one with an excuse before God. He warns against self-righteousness, urging believers to examine themselves honestly and seek forgiveness. Hopkins explains that only Jesus, who perfectly kept the law, can provide the righteousness needed for salvation. The sermon calls for repentance and a reliance on Jesus' work on the cross, focusing on self-examination, repentance, and the grace of God. The message underscores the importance of Jesus in the life of every believer and the upcoming judgment where all secrets will be revealed.

Welcome back to Barnet Bible Church. Join us this week as Pastor Hopkins continues his sermon series through the Book of Romans. Good morning once again. Let's turn in our Bibles to the Book of Romans, if you would, where we will be, Lord willing, picking up with chapter 2, verses 12 through 16. But before we do, I've been delivering some pre-message messages for quite some time, which I try to limit to about four or five minutes.

And I wanted to just get all of the children, Peyton, Mandy, all of you, you younger children, get your attention. I know some of you are not here today and just really get your attention look at mr. Hopkins for a moment I want you to remember one word let me get your attention up here one word okay you know how we have like the sermon review at our house and people are there We go through everybody and even get out of the little children. Did you hear anything today? Heidi's listening.

Did you hear anything today? You know, and they'll say yeah, I heard this I heard that Well, You can all say this if you end up at our house tonight for sermon review. This one word, and it's a name, Jesus. Okay? I heard you say Jesus, okay?

And what I want you to know about that, about that name, is this. You need Jesus you need Jesus I need Jesus your parents need Jesus everyone needs Jesus So just remember that and we're gonna come back to that at the end of the message later. Then second, you've heard people say that they cried their self to sleep. David talks about watering his pillow with his tears many times in the Psalms. Well, Tuesday morning I cried myself awake.

Four o'clock in the morning and I wake up thinking about the young people of our church and our sister churches and I'm praying for every one of you by name and by face individually. Because you know we're outnumbered now, like three to one or something, lots of more young people, young couples, and the fact of the matter is that many are are falling away. We haven't had that pain in this church, but if you just went by percentages you'd have to say well we will eventually They were going to see it. And if that were to happen, you have to ask yourself, which one? Or which ones?

When we come to the Lord's table later, you know, there's the call for self-examination. Jesus had a self-examination at the Last Supper, which was the first supper, and this was the self-examination. Truly, truly, I tell you, one of you is going to betray me. One of you is going to betray me. If you thought that you were the one in that time of self-examination, you would be doing what the others were doing then.

Said one by one they were deeply distressed. They said, Lord, is it I? Is it I? Is it I? So.

Let's just remember that when we come to the Lord's table. And if you would, rise with me for the reading of the Word of God. We'll be reading together verses 12 through 16. For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law, and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law. For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these having not the law are a law unto themselves, which show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the meanwhile accusing or else excusing one another, in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. Let's pray. Father in heaven, our wonderful Father in heaven, we thank you God that you're our Father that we can cry out to you Abba Father all because of the mediatorial work of your son our Lord Jesus Christ who suffered and died for our sins paid our penalty in full bless his holy name Lord we ask that you would send your spirit this morning to do a mighty work in the heart of this people we pray for encouragement where encouragement is needed We pray for comfort where comfort is needed. We pray for instruction where instruction is needed and we pray for conviction oh God where conviction is needed. We ask you to send your spirit as Birdson used to say we believe in the Holy Spirit.

We believe in the Holy Spirit. We believe in the Holy Spirit. We believe in the Holy Spirit. Send your Spirit today, O God. We've cried out for revival for many many years.

Let it begin this day in the heart of your people, for we do ask it in the name of your Son, Jesus. Amen. Let's be seated. So far in our study of Romans chapter 1 through 2 and verse 11, we've seen all mankind rendered guilty before God. Whether Jew or Gentile, all are sinners.

All have violated the commands of God, and none will escape the judgment of God. Our text, and our text this morning, the Apostle Paul is going to be addressing, which we're going to get to in a few minutes, the question of whether Those who have never heard the law of God will have any grounds for excuse on the day of judgment. But first, you know, I was thinking about the fact we've got visitors here today and all and some of our people are not here that are usually here. And I want our visitors to know where we've been and where the Apostle Paul is going. From chapter 1 through chapter 2, verse 11, Paul has been leveling a universal indictment against all mankind.

Whether Jew or Gentile, whether religious or irreligious, all mankind stand guilty before God and are liable to His wrath." That's what we've been saying. He briefly mentioned the Gospel in chapter 1 when we began in verse 1, but he's not revealed the Gospel. The Gospel hasn't been revealed yet, and we're already into chapter 2. It's been just constant pressure. Before the good news is announced, Paul will announce the bad news.

And so far that's about all we've gotten is bad news from chapter 1 till 2.11. Every mouth must be stopped before men will flee to the only hope for mankind, Christ Jesus, the gospel of Jesus Christ. Paul has stopped the mouth of the Gentiles. He's told them that God has revealed Himself through nature to them, all of them, through the created order into all men in every age. He's told them that everybody knows God, everyone knows God, and that no one's going to be able to stand before God on the day of judgment and claim innocence or ignorance.

Paul says no, God has clearly revealed himself to all men, to everyone, even the invisible things of his power, his eternal power and his Godhead, that is his eternal attributes, through the things that he's made have been revealed to every man, through nature, through the created order, so that all men are without excuse. No one's going to have an excuse on the day of judgment. Even those who have never heard the gospel, never been exposed to the Scripture, they're not going to have an excuse on the day of judgment because God has clearly, visibly shown Himself to everyone through the creation of the world. They may deny it, and that's what they do, but He has clearly shown it to them. He's made it clear that the problem of the Gentiles is not that they lack evidence for the existence of the Creator, but that they willingly and willfully suppress the truth they know about the Creator, the truth that God has clearly revealed to them in nature, but that they have held down, held in the King James Version and other Verses, suppressed, to hold down.

And they've suppressed that knowledge of God, that truth that they know about God, that God has revealed to them through nature in their unrighteousness, in their wickedness, because they have a corrupted nature that hates God. Gentiles who suppress the truth about the God they know stand under the sentence of God's wrath. That's what Paul has been teaching in chapter 1. Because when they knew God, they refused to glorify Him as God, and they weren't even thankful. And what's more, Paul went on to tell us that the Gentiles, they don't stop with their suppression of the truth.

They go on to exchange, they make an exchange of the truth they know about God for a lie. And that's the history of the world, folks. They swap the truth that they know about God, that he's clearly revealed to them through the creation, through creation, the created order, for a lie. And the result is that their foolish hearts are darkened, or I would say further darkened. And the Gentiles don't even stop there.

They go on then to profess themselves to be wise, and in doing so they become fools, Paul told us. And in the place of the one true and living God they create gods in their own image. Gods that are like man, gods that are like them, and again that's the history of the unbelieving world. And every one of them, to the last one, except God deliver him, every one of them ends up worshipping and serving idols, created things rather than the Creator who is blessed forever. That's the history of the unbelieving world.

And then we saw that God, at some point in this downward spiral and progression, gives them up. They gave up the knowledge of God, So God gives them up. They didn't want to retain God in their thinking. I don't even want to, I want to erase everything that comes into my mind about even the possibility of God from the hard drive of my mind. I want it all erased.

They didn't want to retain God in their thinking, so God gives them over to a reprobate mind. You don't want him in your mind? He gives you over to a debased mind. And it is an act of judicial abandonment in theological terminology. He allows men at some point to run the way of their lusts.

I gave the analogy of a dog that you cut the leash loose and you let him run he finally goes where he's always wanted to go. We've never figured out where our dogs go, but they take off and they're gone. They come back wet and they have porcupine needles in their nose. He allows them to run the way of their lusts. He cuts them loose so that there is no longer divine restraint.

And he cuts them loose to become slaves to their passions and to pursue the vile affections of their hearts and their corrupted nature. And men, every time, always throughout the entire history of the world, when God turns them over and gives them up to a reprimanded mind, they always run in the same direction, every one of them, to defile their bodies one with another, to sexual immorality every single time. Even going so far is that sinful behavior that so clearly represents the depths of the depravity of man's fallen nature, homosexual behavior, which Paul mentions, which he begins with. For Paul says, even their women, oh even their women, even the most tender amongst them, even their women who by nature are more tender and who naturally aspire to motherhood, their women exchange the natural use for that which is against nature, that which is against nature. Likewise, the men, Paul goes on, leaving the natural use of the woman, men with men, burned in their lust one for another, committing the most shameful acts, which Paul says is actually a punishment in and of itself, we read, revealing the fact that those who commit such things are actually receiving the penalty within them that was due them for their sin.

It's actually homosexuality. Being given over to homosexual behavior is in itself a judgment of God for previous sin. You don't want me in your thinking, okay? I'll give you over to a reparate mind. I'll cut you loose.

I'll let you run the way of your lusts. And they go and they go and they go and they go and they go and they go further and further and he hands them over to their vile affections and even homosexuality so that homosexual behavior is itself a judgment of God. It's a judgment itself. And then the apostle ended chapter one with a list detailing the various kinds and categories of sinful behavior that so plague the utterly corrupt nature of fallen man. Look at that list with me again because we're about to...

I want to just go through a few of these things again. Fornication. Here he starts again with sexual immorality. When I'm preaching on the streets of Burnet, I don't get so much kickback as I get when I talk about Pornography and sexual immorality and all this and they just don't want to hear it. Just do not want to hear it.

That's normal Right, that's normal. It's not normal Don't let fornication even be named so much as once among you that profess Christ and yet its plagues our society our culture and regrettably it's in the churches of America fornication general wickedness of every kind covetousness which is an inordinate desire to accumulate more stuff and better stuff, and desiring the things that belong to others. Covetousness. We don't think anything of it hardly today. It's America.

That's where covetousness is a Nation. That's what we're here for, right? It's to covet, right? No. It's in the list.

Maliciousness, malignity, which involves evil thinking about others. You have evil thoughts about others, suspect evil of others. Then he mentions whisperers, which describes those who talk behind the backs of others, gossips, and those who say things to third parties that degrade those that they speak of in the eyes of others and harm their reputations. He speaks of envy and murder and debate. People that just, they always want to debate.

Everything's an argument. That's so prevalent. And this thing of debate, it won't concede, never going to concede anything. You make a good point, you've been in something with the unbelievers and you make a good point and you crush their art? You reduce their argument to absurdity and they move to something else really quickly.

Debate, strife, deceit, backbiteers, which are slanderers, haters of God, despiteful, people who are always trying to get back at others, proud men, boasters, children who are disobedient to their parents. That's everywhere. It's a plague upon the culture. Children in disobedience to their parents. You teenagers, when you hit 14, 15 years old, I know what happens.

You think you know everything. All of a sudden you know everything and your parents just don't know anything. You know? It happens. Sometimes there's a temptation there to think that you really are smart, you know, but you're not.

Disobedience to parents, covenant breakers, those who break the covenants that they have made, and that's everywhere today in our culture. And he speaks of those who no longer even possess the God-given natural affection they were given at birth. I remember Mr. Stebelfill used to say, how can women who are just naturally inclined as mothers go and abort their children? How could they do it?

They've lost their natural affection. They've lost that. It speaks of those who are implacable. Implacable people are those who are unable to be placated, unable to be pacified, unable to be rendered peaceable no matter what you do. You can't reconcile with them.

They will not reconcile. You try to be at peace, they will not be at peace with you. Unmerciful people, those who are just unable or refuse to show mercy to others. By the way, those who are unmerciful people probably have never experienced the mercies of God. They'd rather remain at enmity with someone and perpetuate discord rather than seek peace and reconcile.

Have mercy. Have mercy. So mercy. God's shown you mercy. And then Paul says, who knowing the judgment of God, that those who commit these things are worthy of death.

What? These are death sentence things. Ouch. Yet, not only do they do these things, but they approve of others who do them. They approve of others who do them.

Paul says they know God disapproves of these things, God gave them a conscience, and they have a sense of right and wrong, but they choose to remain in their sin and draw others into their sin with them because it makes it like it's okay. You notice that in the world? If we just get enough people together to say something's right, that everybody knows is wrong, then they can kind of feel like it's okay. That's why they have homosexual pride marches, you know? You get enough people flying the flag.

By the way, that flag, you know, it's the judgment of God. God destroyed the world before he put that rainbow in the sky. Okay, and then in our last session, We open chapter 2 and watch the Apostle Paul turn the tables on his readers. This is rough. Chapter 2 is just a turning of the tables.

It's rough. Or he turns his tables, at least on some of them. Paul turns the tables on his own brethren, according to the flesh, on his fellow Jews. That's who he's referring to when he says, Therefore, O man. Remember we went through that?

I said in our last session, I can just see the Jews who are reading Paul's epistle. They're nodding their heads in agreement with everything he said in chapter 1, oh, those terrible, those vile Gentiles, they're all worthy of death. Put a rock in my hand and I'll be the first one to throw the stone at them. And then I said I could just see them falling silent when Paul begins chapter 2. Therefore, O man – because now Paul is addressing his fellow Jews, not the Gentiles.

Therefore, Paul says, that is considering everything I've just said, O Jewish man, which Paul makes perfectly clear is his intended target further on in verse 17. That's his target. He's talking to the Jews here. Therefore, understanding everything I've just said previously, that the Gentiles are without excuse before God, and the wrath of God is revealed from under heaven against all who commit such things, and they will not escape and cannot escape the judgment of God. Now understand, O man, understand, O Jewish brother, that you also are inexcusable, That you also will stand without excuse, without any grounds of defense before God on the day of judgment.

You also will not escape the judgment of God. Why? Oh, Why? Because you judged all the things I mentioned in chapter one as things worthy of death, and you judged those who practiced such things and approved of others who practiced such things as being worthy of death, and yet in your condemnation of others who practice these wicked things, you condemn your own selves because you that judge do the same things. You do the same things.

You judge the Gentiles for these things, but you're guilty of some of the same things, and so in condemning them, you condemn yourselves. As I said in our last session, no preacher of the gospel, no professing Christian who's ever lived on earth or will ever live on earth, and I would add no Christian in this church house today will escape the judgment of God either. No professing Christian in this church house today will escape the judgment of God either. No professing Christian in this church house today will escape the judgment of God either who condemn the sins of others and yet are guilty of the same things. That's where Paul was driving it.

He said, now, okay, so now you're religious people. You're religious people. You openly, publicly condemn the sins of these other people, But you've done some of the same things, and some of you are still practicing them secretly. God is no respecter of persons. The apostle will have every mouth stopped.

Do you really think You will escape the judgment of God who condemn others openly and publicly for doing the same things that you're guilty of and maybe even continue to engage in secretly to this very day. God is no respecter of persons and he is not going to be mocked. He is a just judge and he is an omniscient judge and every sin whether committed openly or secretly will be judged on the day of judgment, one way or another. We've kind of gone through that, right? They're going to be one way or the other.

They're going to be judged. The sins of the unbelievers will be judged and there'll be levels of punishment in hell. You killed, you are a mass murderer, you know, Adolf Hitler, whatever, your punishment is greater than the seven-year-old boy who stole the pencil. On the other side, the judgment of God, the sins of His people, the works of His people come in to review, and they're covered by the blood of Christ, their punishment is wiped away, but there's levels of reward in heaven. Jesus said, lay up for yourself treasure in heaven where moth doesn't rust corrode.

There's levels. There's levels of punishment here. There's levels of reward here for those who are believers. But we read, everything comes into judgment. We read Ecclesiastes 12, 14 last week, for God shall bring every work into judgment with every secret thing, whether it be good or whether it be evil.

And sometimes the evil that we do is actually evidence that we do not know Him and we're on this side and not this side. We're on the unbelieving side rather than on the believing side that's headed for works being judged for reward. Maybe we're on this side. Thought we were. God is a just judge.

When the righteous wrath of God is revealed and every sin exposed, God is going to judge everything. When in the words of R.C. Sproul, quote, every skeleton comes out of the closet. Got skeletons in your closet? Got skeletons in your closet?

They're coming out, coming out on that day. All the skeletons are coming out of the closet on that day. God will bring every work into judgment with every secret thing, whether it be good or whether it be evil. As I was going over these these notes last night, it just three men from Scripture came into my mind. It's just boom, these three different men in Scripture just come into my mind.

The Pharisee who condemns a repentant publican or tax collector, Simon, the man who sits on his sofa where Jesus is there and his woman is repenting at His feet and washing His feet with her tears and drying them with the hair of her head and condemning her. Simon, the guy on the sofa, condemning the repentant sinner. And then the brother of the repentant young man in Scripture known as the Prodigal Son. All three of these guys are just self-righteous, self-righteous guys. The Pharisee, every one of these men was self-righteous and condemned, repentant, heartbroken sinners who were crying out to God.

You don't want to stand before God on the judgment day and be someone who has to stand before God for having condemned a repentant sinner. You don't want to be that person, I guarantee you that. The brother of the prodigal son could only see the sin of his brother, how his brother wasted everything, a wine, women, and song. He couldn't bear the sight of his father forgiving his brother and killing the fatted calf when his brother had openly repented and humbled himself for his sin. And then Simon sat on the sofa in his house indignant and repulsed at the sight of a sinner.

That woman's a sinner, don't you know Jesus? That woman's a sinner. She's a known sinner. Everyone knows she's a sinner, but she's kneeling at Jesus' feet confessing openly and publicly her sins, and Simon's condemning her. Self-righteousness is an ugly thing.

And of course the Pharisee, thanking God he isn't a despicable sinner like the publican over there, a humble man by the way, who's openly and publicly confessing his sins in the temple in front of everyone. And is even at that moment beating on his breast crying, God be merciful to me a sinner. How hard-hearted could a man be? Remember who went home to his house justified and who did not. Oh the wretchedness of self-righteousness.

And oh the judgment of God that awaits men like the Pharisee, Simon, and the brother of the prodigal son, except they repent." The apostle has been relentless in his proclamation of the bad news. And the good news is coming, but not yet, because as we pick up with chapter 2 after 31 minutes, chapter 2 and verse 12, we read, For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law. And as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law, for not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified." And many have misunderstood this passage, and many have taught wrongly on this passage. They think that it's saying that Gentiles who never had the written law of God like the Jews did were by nature keeping the law of God while the Jews who had the law of God were not keeping it. That's not what he's saying.

Some of the Apostles saying here. Paul is saying, look at verse 12, that those who sin without the written law of God also, look at that word, also, also perish without the written law of God. He's still indicting all of the human race. Only those who do or keep the law of God perfectly shall be justified. That's the teaching of Scripture.

And no mere man on earth has ever done that. Anyone? No, and never will. The Scripture requires a perfect obedience to the law, and Paul's gonna be talking more about this as we go forward in the next few weeks. The Scripture requires a perfect obedience to the law.

And Paul's going to be talking more about this as we go forward in the next few weeks. The scripture requires a perfect obedience to the law of God in order to be justified in the sight of God, and only Jesus has ever done that. Children, again, that's why you need Jesus. He's the only one who's ever kept the law of God perfectly, perfect obedience. You got that Emmy?

Good. James 2 10 tells us whoever keeps the whole law and yet offends in one little point, one point, just one little point, it's guilty of the whole law. Now you're guilty of the entire law, which is why we're reading Galatians 2.16, by the works of the law, there's not going to be, what, any flesh justified in God's sight. Why? Because you have to be a perfect law keeper.

There's only one perfect law keeper and that's God's Son. Galatians 3 10 goes on to say this, cursed. You know if the Bible says something's cursed, cursed, we should pay attention. Cursed is everyone who continues not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. Everything.

That is a universal curse upon all mankind. Everybody is under the curse of God. Everyone is under the curse of God. You're under the curse of God apart from Christ bearing that curse in your place. No mere man has ever continued in all things written in the book of the law to do them.

No one's kept the law of God perfectly, not those in possession of the written law, neither the Gentiles who have never been exposed to the Scriptures, only Jesus did that." Which is why Paul goes on to say in verse 14, for when the Gentiles which have not the law do by nature the things contained in the law, these having not the law are a law unto themselves. He's not saying, so they don't have the law, but because of their conscience they have a sense of right and wrong so that they keep the law perfectly or whatever. He's not saying that. He's not saying that. He's saying that God has given every man a conscience, yes.

That every man has a sense of right and wrong. Yes. And when men do anything that the written law requires, it's because God has given light to them by way of conscience. And they have a sense of right and wrong, of the law being written on their heart, not like the Holy Spirit writes the law upon the heart of believers, but there is a sense of right and wrong so much that all men know, for instance, that it's wrong to murder. Nobody has to have the written law of God to know that they shouldn't go and kill somebody.

They all know that. All the Gentiles know that. Everyone knows it's wrong to go and violate somebody else's wife. Everyone knows that it's wrong to go and steal someone else's property. And on the Day of Judgment, when the secrets of men are judged by Jesus Christ, their thoughts, Paul says, are going to bear witness to this.

They're going to bear witness to the struggle that was going on in their conscience on earth, the conscience that God gave them and the light that God gave them while they were on the earth. And while men may excuse themselves because they restrained themselves from doing some things for conscience' sake, their thoughts are also going to accuse them as being lawbreakers. Because they knew that they did those things which they, in their conscience, they knew were wrong. They violated their consciences again and again. As we close, there is a day coming when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to Paul's gospel, according to the gospel.

He's back to this again. God is going to judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to the gospel. All the skeletons are coming out of the closet. Everything's gonna be revealed. Every secret thing, with every secret thing, access to the law of God isn't going to matter on that day.

Unbelievers who had the law and unbelievers who didn't have access to the written code are going to perish on that day when Jesus, the perfect judge and perfect law keeper, judges the secrets of their hearts. The only thing that's going to matter on that day is whether our sins have been covered, as I said last week. That's the only thing that's going to matter. Were your sins covered by the perfect righteousness of God's son. He alone kept the law perfectly, and he paid the sin debt, the penalty, the sin debt of full for the the sins of his people.

We need the covering of Jesus. That's where we started, you children. I say we need Jesus, right? Mandy, Pate, we need Jesus. I need Jesus.

You need Jesus. Your parents need Jesus. Everyone needs Jesus. We need the covering of Jesus. We've all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.

We've all fallen short and fall short of the perfect righteousness that is required by God and the law of God. And that righteousness is available to us only through Jesus, through faith in his person and his work, because he kept the law perfectly for us, and he died on the cross 2, 000 years ago for our sins, and rose again on the third day. Let's pray. Father, we do thank you for your word. Oh God.

We prayed for comfort. We prayed for Conviction we prayed for encouragement. We trust. Oh God that you have have done that this day Lord we started off with a passage of Scripture in the service. Oh, let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts, and let them return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him, and he will abundantly pardon.

God, we trust your Word. We trust that you will have mercy upon all those who come to you in repentance We know your word is true. You will abundantly pardon We know God that that your sacrifices the sacrifices of God are a broken spirit Lord that are broken in a contrite heart. Oh God, you will not despise you will not turn away We know that you resist the proud, but you give grace to the humble. We know, Lord, that you will never break a bruised reed or snuff out or quench a smoldering wick, Lord, that those who come to you humbly, repenting, and with a change of heart, O God, and crying out to you for mercy, are pardoned and given grace in their time of need.

Lord, we pray that that would be the case today. Lord, there be many, Lord, who find a place of brokenness and contrition that you will not despise and find the abundant pardon of God and the grace, oh God, grace to repent. We thank you, Lord, for your Word. We thank you, Lord for the encouragement of it. We thank you for the hope that we have in Christ Jesus, our Lord, our Savior who suffered and died for our sins and rose again the third day.

We thank you for his person and his work. Lord as we now come to the time where we are going to share in the Lord's table help us to examine ourselves in the light of the things that we have heard this day. In light of the teaching, in light of the preaching, in light of the hymns and the psalms and the spiritual songs, O God, help us to examine ourselves, O Lord. And then let us eat of that bread and drink of that cup, saying Jesus died for me, Jesus died for me, and feeding upon him spiritually. For we do ask it all in his most holy and glorious and precious name, Jesus.

Amen.
