An old man lived alone in the countryside. It was spring and he wanted to dig his tomato garden, as he had done every year, but it was very hard work for the aging man. His only son, Vincent, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote to his son: Dear Vincent, it looks like I won’t be able to plant my tomato garden this year. I’m just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. If only you were here, I know you would dig the plot for me. Love, Dad. A few days later, he received a letter from his son: Dear Dad, not for nothing, but don’t dig up that garden. That’s where I buried the BODIES. Love, Vinnie At 4 a.m. the next morning, the FBI busted down the old man’s door and dug up the entire garden. They didn’t find any bodies, however, so they apologized and left. That same day, the old man received another letter from his son: Dear Dad, go ahead and plant the tomotoes now. That’s the best I could do under the circumstances. Love, Vinnie

Our Mission We are a non-profit that mobilizes members of the motorcycle community (and those like minded) to help eradicate human sex trafficking & restore those impacted through: building awareness; clinical trauma counseling; job placement; housing assistance and mentoring.

Get the Facts Modern-day slavery, or human trafficking exists whenever people are bought and sold for forced labor, organs, forced marriage and commercial sex. Around the world, there are an estimated 40 million slaves today. Human sex trafficking has been reported in all provinces in Canada, all Countries in the world and in 50 U.S. states. The number of people being sex trafficked in the United States is estimated to be 1.5 million people as of today. Most who are trafficked in the US are US citizens, the average age is 11, and the average lifespan is 7 years. (Canada is just now getting good stats but knows there are over 17,000 at present, 93% of who are Canadian citizens). According to UNICEF, every 2 minutes a child is taken into slavery around the world and in Get Involved the United States we know that a child is taken Bikers are invaluable in the fight against this into slavery every 2.5 hours. heinous crime. As the eyes and ears of our communities you are in a unique position to spot traffickers who seek to exploit human beings for sex and to see their victims and then DO something about it. We are forming Chapters around the world and seeking to build an army who want to do more than “talk” about things. A group of people who want to role up their sleeves and make a difference.

need to understand that there is hope, healing and renewal for each one NO MATTER what has transpired in their past. There needs to be healing from physical and emotional wounds and for those who were raised in a faith community there even needs to be healing in their faith relationship with God. I pray that we can make a difference, I strive to make a difference, I am consumed to make a difference and I seek to sacrifice to make a difference.
Sexual abuse entered into my little life when I was five years of age. I can remember huddling under a bus that was parked in our yard with no clothes on. My little arms were wrapped around my legs. Being sexually molested and trafficked seemed to be the norm for my life.
I know there is hope because I can feel it flowing through my veins and if nothing else...I want to burn the idea of hope, healing and renewal into the brains of everyone who is a victim so that they can move from victim to overcomer. Life has great potential but sometimes we have to fight to get there.
Bikers Against Trafficking.org is an organization that seeks to fight for those who cannot. We seek to make a difference and we give you our word that every penny we raise goes towards fighting against the blight that is blinding our nation and world. Human sexual trafficking happens all around us. There are roughly 300,000 As I have reflected back upon that image I knew that my abuse had mainly young women and children trafficked into the United States gone back even further. Memories at the age of three that had me for sexual purposes each year, some 40.3 million victims around the drinking beer and knowing about sex. I have no idea how I knew world. Over 150 Billion dollars is made from sexual trafficking. but I knew. Traffickers build up a web of deceit in the mind of the victim, they I am now 55 years of age and in the years between then and now are first placed in a “seasoning process” where they have to survive a lot has happened. Drugs, Alcohol, more Sexual Abuse and then in a climate of sheer fear and terror. Their average age is 11-14. There a life spent trying to reprogram a brain that was set on fire at an are hundreds of thousands of victims that are United States citizens early age. My father eventually ended up dieing in Federal Prison who are being held as sexual slaves. All around us, in most cities, as a convicted drug dealer and murderer and we even spent five every State and it does not matter if someone is religious, nonyears on the run after he escaped from prison when I was a kid. We religious, gay, straight or whatever...sexual trafficking affects us all. went through three name changes as we escaped from Michigan and found our way living in a tent in Colorado, a small apartment Please seek a way to get involved. Either through us, through a local with another family in Las Vegas and finally settling down in a 27 group in your area, but somewhere. Battle this scourge as together feet travel trailer in Miami. My dad was a proud member of the we can make a difference. We will be more than happy to speak cocaine cowboys that ruled the drug trade in Miami in the late 70’s at your event, school, church, club or wherever we can to make a and early 80’s and is even featured in a book about homicide. All difference and help people understand. in all, great things to influence a child. NOT Thank-you, I share this with you because fighting human sexual trafficking is a lifelong passion for me. I was a pastor and missionary but nothing consumes me as much as helping a child or victim who does not have the ability to fight on their own. People need to be empowered and assisted to get out of the trafficked life and then the victims

Truckers Against Predators Truckers Against Predators is a network of truck drivers, parents and concerned citizens who advocate for the safety of America’s children every day. They work tirelessly to expose these predators while collaborating with both law enforcement and legislators to influence law and crime standards for child predators. The team monitors social media platforms, chat rooms, websites, games & forums. They are on the lookout for suspicious questions, conversations and connections. These trained adult volunteers act as decoys, connecting with suspected criminals, engaging with them in a detailed process and setting a meeting place and time. The police are called on every case. TAP meets the alleged predator and confronts them live on video. The goal is that the exposure and evidence leads to an immediate arrest & public awareness.
adequately protect children from these sick individuals. In fact, some states’ laws dictate that, unless caught in the act, these types of scenarios are deemed “victimless crimes.” Anthony certainly did not agree with that, and neither would most parents. Knowing he could not keep quiet or stand by and do nothing, Anthony got to work and founded TAP. He began seeking out the predators, intercepting them at rendezvous points and exposing them on live video on social media. To date, Anthony is exposing predators almost every day of the week. The police are called ahead of time on every case. Transcripts and video footage are provided to them as evidence. Sometimes the predators are arrested, many times they aren’t. In Arizona, in particular, the city of Yuma Police Department works closely with Anthony and his team to bring justice. It is Anthony’s desire and goal to have great collaborations with every police department.
Truckers Against Predators was founded by Anthony Greene in 2017. Anthony founded TAP because he was a victim of sexual abuse himself, as a child. Anthony seen it as an opportunity to help make a difference in the world.
Over the course of the last few years, Anthony has built up a team who help identify and draw out these monsters and expose them for their planned crimes. All of this work is done on personal time and without any compensation. Days, even weeks are spent on just one case to ensure extra caution and proper protocols are in As a father and truck driver, Anthony Greene drives place.

Trafficking involves transporting someone into a situation of exploitation. This can include forced labor, marriage, prostitution, and organ removal. This kind of exploitation is known by a few different names -“human trafficking,” “trafficking of persons,” and “modern slavery” are the ones accepted by the US Department of State.
Globally, an estimated 71% of enslaved people are women and girls, while men and boys account for 29%. Estimates suggest that about 50,000 people are trafficked into the US each year, most often from Mexico and the Philippines. In 2018, over half (51.6%) of the criminal human trafficking cases active in the US were sex trafficking cases involving only children. Reports indicate that a large number of child sex trafficking survivors in the US were at one time in the foster care system.
It’s estimated that internationally there are between 20 million and 40 million people in modern slavery today. Assessing the full scope of human trafficking is difficult because so cases so often go undetected, something the United Nations refers to as “the hidden figure of crime.” Estimates suggest that, internationally, only about .04% survivors of human trafficking cases are identified, meaning that the vast majority of cases of human trafficking go Advocates report a growing trend of trafundetected. fickers using online social media platforms to recruit and advertise targets of human Human trafficking earns global profits of trafficking. roughly $150 billion a year for traffickers, $99 billion of which comes from commerThe average age a teen enters the sex trade cial sexual exploitation. in the US is 12 to 14 years old.

What is Easter? Easter... What is Easter? Well, for some it is new clothes, shoes, and church. For others it’s bunnies, eggs, and candy. Maybe it’s all of the above. There is nothing wrong with these things but it is important to know Easter’s true meaning. What is your answer when someone asks, what is Easter? I want to share something with you. A story. The greatest story ever told... While there are many words, I can assure you, if you will take a few moments and read the following pages, your life can truly be transformed. Easter is not about a bunny, but about a Man. An innocent Man. The innocent Man who was hated for you, who was spit on for you, hit for you, whipped for you. The Man who prayed for you, bled for you, and who finally died for you a horrifying death. This Man is Jesus. Jesus Christ. Jesus is not dead but ALIVE and He is sitting at the right hand of the Father. While this story is recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke, & John, I want to share with you Matthew’s account. In his own words... Matthew Chapter 26
(Jesus spoke words in red)
14 Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve disciples, went to the leading priests 15 and asked, “How much When Jesus had finished saying all these things, he will you pay me to betray Jesus to you?” And they gave said to his disciples, 2 “As you know, Passover begins him thirty pieces of silver. 16 From that time on, Judas in two days, and the Son of Man will be handed over to began looking for an opportunity to betray Jesus. be crucified.” The Last Supper 3 At that same time the leading priests and elders were meeting at the residence of Caiaphas, the high priest, 17 On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened 4 plotting how to capture Jesus secretly and kill him. 5 Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where “But not during the Passover celebration,” they agreed, do you want us to prepare the Passover meal for you?” “or the people may riot.” 18 “As you go into the city,” he told them, “you will Jesus Anointed at Bethany see a certain man. Tell him, ‘The Teacher says: My time has come, and I will eat the Passover meal with 6 Meanwhile, Jesus was in Bethany at the home of Si- my disciples at your house.’” 19 So the disciples did as mon, a man who had previously had leprosy. 7 While Jesus told them and prepared the Passover meal there. he was eating, a woman came in with a beautiful alabaster jar of expensive perfume and poured it over 20 When it was evening, Jesus sat down at the table his head. with the Twelve. 21 While they were eating, he said, “I tell you the truth, one of you will betray me.” 8 The disciples were indignant when they saw this. “What a waste!” they said. 9 “It could have been sold 22 Greatly distressed, each one asked in turn, “Am I for a high price and the money given to the poor.” the one, Lord?” 10 But Jesus, aware of this, replied, “Why criticize this woman for doing such a good thing to me? 11 You will always have the poor among you, but you will not always have me. 12 She has poured this perfume on me to prepare my body for burial. 13 I tell you the truth, wherever the Good News is preached throughout the world, this woman’s deed will be remembered and discussed.”
23 He replied, “One of you who has just eaten from this bowl with me will betray me. 24 For the Son of Man must die, as the Scriptures declared long ago. But how terrible it will be for the one who betrays him. It would be far better for that man if he had never been born!” 25 Judas, the one who would betray him, also asked, “Rabbi, am I the one?”

And Jesus told him, “You have said it.” 26 As they were eating, Jesus took some bread and blessed it. Then he broke it in pieces and gave it to the disciples, saying, “Take this and eat it, for this is my body.” 27 And he took a cup of wine and gave thanks to God for it. He gave it to them and said, “Each of you drink from it, 28 for this is my blood, which confirms the covenant[d] between God and his people. It is poured out as a sacrifice to forgive the sins of many. 29 Mark my words—I will not drink wine again until the day I drink it new with you in my Father’s Kingdom.” 30 Then they sang a hymn and went out to the Mount of Olives. Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial 31 On the way, Jesus told them, “Tonight all of you will desert me. For the Scriptures say, ‘God will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’
39 He went on a little farther and bowed with his face to the ground, praying, “My Father! If it is possible, let this cup of suffering be taken away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.” 40 Then he returned to the disciples and found them asleep. He said to Peter, “Couldn’t you watch with me even one hour? 41 Keep watch and pray, so that you will not give in to temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak!” 42 Then Jesus left them a second time and prayed, “My Father! If this cup cannot be taken away unless I drink it, your will be done.” 43 When he returned to them again, he found them sleeping, for they couldn’t keep their eyes open. 44 So he went to pray a third time, saying the same things again. 45 Then he came to the disciples and said, “Go ahead and sleep. Have your rest. But look— the time has come. The Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46 Up, let’s be going. Look, my betrayer is here!” Jesus Is Betrayed and Arrested
32 But after I have been raised from the dead, I will go ahead of you to Galilee and meet you there.” 47 And even as Jesus said this, Judas, one of the twelve disciples, arrived with a crowd of men armed with 33 Peter declared, “Even if everyone else deserts you, I swords and clubs. They had been sent by the leading will never desert you.” priests and elders of the people. 48 The traitor, Judas, had given them a prearranged signal: “You will know 34 Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, Peter—this very which one to arrest when I greet him with a kiss.” 49 night, before the rooster crows, you will deny three So Judas came straight to Jesus. “Greetings, Rabbi!” he times that you even know me.” exclaimed and gave him the kiss. 35 “No!” Peter insisted. “Even if I have to die with you, I will never deny you!” And all the other disciples vowed the same.
Then the others grabbed Jesus and arrested him. 51 But one of the men with Jesus pulled out his sword and struck the high priest’s slave, slashing off his ear.
Jesus Prays in Gethsemane 36 Then Jesus went with them to the olive grove called Gethsemane, and he said, “Sit here while I go over there to pray.” 37 He took Peter and Zebedee’s two sons, James and John, and he became anguished and distressed. 38 He told them, “My soul is crushed with grief to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.” 865-789-8774
50 Jesus said, “My friend, go ahead and do what you have come for.”
52 “Put away your sword,” Jesus told him. “Those who use the sword will die by the sword. 53 Don’t you realize that I could ask my Father for thousands of angels to protect us, and he would send them instantly? 54 But if I did, how would the Scriptures be fulfilled that describe what must happen now?”

55 Then Jesus said to the crowd, “Am I some dangerous revolutionary, that you come with swords and clubs to arrest me? Why didn’t you arrest me in the Temple? I was there teaching every day. 56 But this is all happening to fulfill the words of the prophets as recorded in the Scriptures.” At that point, all the disciples deserted him and fled.
Peter Denies Jesus 69 Meanwhile, Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard. A servant girl came over and said to him, “You were one of those with Jesus the Galilean.” 70 But Peter denied it in front of everyone. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he said.
Jesus before the Council 71 Later, out by the gate, another servant girl noticed 57 Then the people who had arrested Jesus led him to him and said to those standing around, “This man was the home of Caiaphas, the high priest, where the teach- with Jesus of Nazareth.” ers of religious law and the elders had gathered. 58 Meanwhile, Peter followed him at a distance and came 72 Again Peter denied it, this time with an oath. “I to the high priest’s courtyard.

What do you have to say for yourself?” 63 But Jesus remained Matthew Chapter 27 silent. Then the high priest said to him, “I demand in the name of the living God—tell us if you are the Mes- Judas Hangs Himself siah, the Son of God.” Very early in the morning the leading priests and the 64 Jesus replied, “You have said it.

And some slapped him, 68 jeering, “Prophesy to us, you Messiah! Who hit you that time?”

“What do we care?” they retorted. “That’s your problem.” 5 Then Judas threw the silver coins down in the Temple and went out and hanged himself.

release to you?” 6 The leading priests picked up the coins. “It wouldn’t be right to put this money in the Temple treasury,” they said, “since it was payment for murder.”[a] 7 After some discussion they finally decided to buy the potter’s field, and they made it into a cemetery for foreigners. 8 That is why the field is still called the Field of Blood. 9 This fulfilled the prophecy of Jeremiah that says, “They took the thirty pieces of silver— the price at which he was valued by the people of Israel, 10 and purchased the potter’s field, as the Lord directed.” Jesus’ Trial before Pilate 11 Now Jesus was standing before Pilate, the Roman governor. “Are you the king of the Jews?” the governor asked him. Jesus replied, “You have said it.” 12 But when the leading priests and the elders made their accusations against him, Jesus remained silent. 13 “Don’t you hear all these charges they are bringing against you?” Pilate demanded. 14 But Jesus made no response to any of the charges, much to the governor’s surprise. 15 Now it was the governor’s custom each year during the Passover celebration to release one prisoner to the crowd—anyone they wanted. 16 This year there was a notorious prisoner, a man named Barabbas. 17 As the crowds gathered before Pilate’s house that morning, he asked them, “Which one do you want me to release to you—Barabbas, or Jesus who is called the Messiah?” 18 (He knew very well that the religious leaders had arrested Jesus out of envy.)
The crowd shouted back, “Barabbas!” 22 Pilate responded, “Then what should I do with Jesus who is called the Messiah?” They shouted back, “Crucify him!” 23 “Why?” Pilate demanded. “What crime has he committed?” But the mob roared even louder, “Crucify him!” 24 Pilate saw that he wasn’t getting anywhere and that a riot was developing. So he sent for a bowl of water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, “I am innocent of this man’s blood. The responsibility is yours!” 25 And all the people yelled back, “We will take responsibility for his death—we and our children!” 26 So Pilate released Barabbas to them. He ordered Jesus flogged with a lead-tipped whip, then turned him over to the Roman soldiers to be crucified. The Soldiers Mock Jesus 27 Some of the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into their headquarters and called out the entire regiment. 28 They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him. 29 They wove thorn branches into a crown and put it on his head, and they placed a reed stick in his right hand as a scepter. Then they knelt before him in mockery and taunted, “Hail! King of the Jews!” 30 And they spit on him and grabbed the stick and struck him on the head with it. 31 When they were finally tired of mocking him, they took off the robe and put his own clothes on him again. Then they led him away to be crucified.
19 Just then, as Pilate was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent him this message: “Leave that innocent man alone. I suffered through a terrible nightmare about him last night.” 20 Meanwhile, the leading priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas to be released and for Jesus to be put to death. 21 So the governor asked again, “Which of these two do you want me to 865-789-8774

Let’s pause and give you some information pertaining to a Roman Crucifixion.
Roman Crucifixion was a gruesome form of capital punishment used by several ancient nations, especially the Romans. Crucifixion was incredibly painful, hence the term excruciating. Death by Roman crucifixion was a result of the whole body weight being supported by the stretched arms. When nailed to the cross there was a massive strain put on the wrists, arms and shoulders often resulting in a dislocation of the shoulder and elbow joints. The rib cage was constrained in a fixed position, which made it extremely difficult to exhale, and impossible to take a full breath. The victim would continually try to draw himself up by his feet to allow for inflation of the lungs enduring terrible pain in his feet and legs. The pain in the feet and legs became unbearable and the victim was forced to trade breathing for pain. The length of time required to die from crucifixion could range from hours to a number of days. The main cause of death by Roman crucifixion was due to asphyxiation. Asphyxiation results from lack of exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide due to respiratory failure or disturbance, resulting in insufficient brain oxygen, which leads to unconsciousness and death. The execution method of Roman Crucifixion could produce death from a number of other causes, including physical shock caused by the scourging that preceded the crucifixion shock from the process of being nailed to the cross, dehydration or exhaustion. The punishment of Roman crucifixion was chiefly inflicted on slaves and the worst kind of criminals. Crucifixion was considered a most shameful and disgraceful way to die and condemned Roman citizens were usually exempt from crucifixion The manner and process of crucifixion was that the criminal, after sentence had been pronounced, carried his cross to the place of execution, which was outside the city. The practice of scourging appears to have formed a part of this, as with of other capital punishments among the Romans. The Romans used a whip for scourging called a flagrum, which consisted of small pieces of bone and metal attached to a number of leather strands. The skin of the back was ripped to the bone from scourging. The criminal was next stripped of his clothes and nailed or bound to the cross. *Source: tribunesandtriumphs.org
The Crucifixion 32 Along the way, they came across a man named Simon, who was from Cyrene, and the soldiers forced him to carry Jesus’ cross. 33 And they went out to a place called Golgotha (which means “Place of the Skull”). 34 The soldiers gave Jesus wine mixed with bitter gall, but when he had tasted it, he refused to drink it. 35 After they had nailed him to the cross, the soldiers gambled for his clothes by throwing dice.[h] 36 Then they sat around and kept guard as he hung there. 37 A sign was fastened above Jesus’ head, announcing the charge against him. It read: “This is Jesus, the King of the Jews.” 38 Two revolutionaries were crucified with him, one on his right and one on his left. 39 The people passing by shouted abuse, shaking their heads in mockery. 40 “Look at you now!” they yelled at him. “You said you were going to destroy the Temple and rebuild it in three days. Well then, if you are the Son of God, save yourself and come down from the cross!”

41 The leading priests, the teachers of religious law, and the elders also mocked Jesus. 42 “He saved others,” they scoffed, “but he can’t save himself! So he is the King of Israel, is he? Let him come down from the cross right now, and we will believe in him! 43 He trusted God, so let God rescue him now if he wants him! For he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’” 44 Even the revolutionaries who were crucified with him ridiculed him in the same way. The Death of Jesus 45 At noon, darkness fell across the whole land until three o’clock. 46 At about three o’clock, Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” which means “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?” 47 Some of the bystanders misunderstood and thought he was calling for the prophet Elijah. 48 One of them ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, holding it up to him on a reed stick so he could drink. 49 But the rest said, “Wait! Let’s see whether Elijah comes to save

to protect it.
50 Then Jesus shouted out again, and he released his spirit. 51 At that moment the curtain in the sanctuary of the Temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. The earth shook, rocks split apart, 52 and tombs opened. The bodies of many godly men and women who had died were raised from the dead. 53 They left the cemetery after Jesus’ resurrection, went into the holy city of Jerusalem, and appeared to many people.
Matthew Chapter 28
54 The Roman officer[m] and the other soldiers at the crucifixion were terrified by the earthquake and all that had happened. They said, “This man truly was the Son of God!”
2 Suddenly there was a great earthquake! For an angel of the Lord came down from heaven, rolled aside the stone, and sat on it. 3 His face shone like lightning, and his clothing was as white as snow. 4 The guards shook with fear when they saw him, and they fell into a dead faint.
The Resurrection Early on Sunday morning, as the new day was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went out to visit the tomb.
55 And many women who had come from Galilee with Jesus to care for him were watching from a distance. 56 Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary (the mother 5 Then the angel spoke to the women. “Don’t be afraid!” of James and Joseph), and the mother of James and he said. “I know you are looking for Jesus, who was John, the sons of Zebedee. crucified. 6 He isn’t here!

This past year has been a new experience for all of us. Our lifestyles have changed. Our freedoms of comfortable movement have been drastically reduced. We have lost precious loved ones, doubling the sorrow as they died alone. The political infighting, mobs, and violence have touched us all in some way, even turning family members against each other. Our social structure has been inhibited, our kids are isolated and bored. Our future as a free and prosperous nation is uncertain, and I could go on and on. Everyone has an opinion about how to fix this mess. Social media has changed from a place to keep up with friends and family to a platform of rants against whomever one blames for this situation. Looking back through history, the plagues, border wars, government corruption, and attacks against freedoms and families is nothing new. It comes and goes by cycles as one generation forgets and the next gets too complacent. Fixing this is God’s problem. But where is God? I used to wonder if He was taking a nap somewhere, not noticing that bad and scary things were happening. As with every generation who faces this sort of distress and madness, the consensus eventually determines that it must be the time for the return of Christ. Wars and rumors of wars, nations rising against nations, the love of many shall wax cold… If you are some who believe this world will surely end soon, the Bible says to watch and be sober, putting on the breastplate of rightousness and also the helmet, of salvation. If you belong to Christ, then what do you fear? But whether He is on His way to gather His people or this is another birth pang, we are all called to continually give thanks with a grateful heart, no matter the circumstances, even despite the circumstances. If you belong to Christ, then you know He has it all under control. This “mess,” as I call it, consumes the news, challenges our freedoms, threatens our families, and pushes our limits of endurance. We have each been called according to His purposes to stand against the enemy in whatever way He has gifted us. We have each been called universally to give thanks, to praise and have faith, not fear. Take care that you remember to Whom you belong, Whose light you reflect. Do not let yourself be dragged into a war of hatred and ugliness. Fight your battles with the Full Armor of God. Let God lead the charge. Think about this! Matthew 24: 6,7,12. First Thessalonians 5:6-8, 18
