For our scripture reading this afternoon, let us turn to First Epistle to the Corinthians, Chapter 10. We turn to First Corinthians, Chapter 10, and there we read the first 15 verses. We do so in connection with the sixth petition in the Lord's Prayer, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. And so let us read together 1 Corinthians 10, the first 15 verses. Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all pass through the sea, and were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea. And did all eat the same spiritual meat, and did all drink the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual rock that followed them, and that rock was Christ. But with many of them God was not well pleased, for they were overthrown in the wilderness. Now these things were our examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted, neither be idolaters as were some of them. As it is written, the people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play. Neither let us commit fornication as some of them committed and fell in one day three and 20,000. Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents. Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer. Now all these things happened unto them for examples, and they are written for our admonition upon whom the ends of the world are come. Wherefore let him that thinketh, he standeth, Take heed, lest ye fall. There hath no temptation taken you, but such as is common to men. But God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able, but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. Wherefore, my beloved, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry. I speak as to wise men, judge ye what I say. Let us also turn in the Heidelberg Catechism to Lordsay 52 as you find it on page 87 in the back of your Psalters, page 87. And there we will read together question and answer 127. where, based on the word of God, we confess, which is the sixth petition, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. That is, since we are so weak in ourselves that we cannot stand a moment, and beside this, since our mortal enemies, the devil, the world, and our own flesh cease not to assault us, Do thou therefore preserve and strengthen us by the power of thy Holy Spirit, that we may not be overcome in this spiritual warfare, but constantly and strenuously may resist our foes till at last we obtain a complete victory. Dear congregation, there can be spiritual struggles. And when we think of those who struggle spiritually, what comes to mind? It can be those who struggle and think, If only I knew that my sins were forgiven, if only I had the forgiveness of my sins, if only I were cleansed in the blood of Christ. And you struggle with how can I be saved? How can I be forgiven? And then you can think if I only had that and I knew him as my savior, then all the struggle would be gone. And yet what we find here is a petition in the midst of a struggle, in the midst of a battle of one who is forgiven. And as one who is forgiven is in the midst of a battle. Striking isn't it also the order of these petitions that it's not first deliver me from evil and keep me from temptation and once I am enough delivered from evil and good enough then Lord forgive also my debts. But it's Lord forgive my debts and flowing out of that forgiveness you're then in the battle. Lord deliver me from evil. It's exactly when he saves and freely pardons all your sin that he brings you under his banner and he sets you in this battle, this lifelong battle, a battle against sin and evil, a battle in the midst of so many dangers of temptation Because where the Lord works, Satan is also sure to work an attack as well. That's why these two petitions, forgive us our debts and deliver us from evil, are bound together as lifelong petitions in the life of grace. It's a battle. And it's a battle of unequal parties. where the one is so much greater than the other. And we will see that in two ways as we listen to a petition amid an unequal match. A petition amid an unequal match. First, we will look at God's enemies and his people. And then secondly, at God and his enemies. So our first point is God's enemies and his people. And the second point is God and his enemies. This petition here is about evil. And we know what evil is. Evil is what is against God. Evil is sin. Evil is this dreadful fighting against God and opposition against God. Evil is sin wherever it is found and in whatever form it takes. It is in this evil world. It's in our evil hearts. It's in the evil one, as the devil is also called. And it says here that these are mortal enemies. You know what a mortal enemy is? It's an enemy that's bent killing you. A mortal enemy is a sworn enemy that will not do until you die. That's what these enemies want. These enemies want us dead, conquered, and are not content with less than that. We could begin with Satan as the evil one. He hates God, But he can't climb up to the throne of God and attack God. God is upon his throne in glory, and therefore he comes to this earth and he does all he can to attack anything connected with God. He's called the prince of the world, this world who works in the children of disobedience. And by nature, we are all slaves to this evil one. We are in his grip. We are under his power. He works in us. We may not feel that. Just like a dog on a chain that's sleeping in the sunshine doesn't feel that chain. But once that dog wants to get away and wants to go somewhere, that's when he feels the chain. So that also spiritually. By nature, you and I, we're like that dog in the sunshine on the chain, and we don't feel that chain, we don't think it so bad. but only try to deliver yourself from sin and Satan, and then you'll feel their power. Try to be what God calls you to be, and then you will feel the power of that chain. And how helpless you are to deliver yourself from sin and evil. Maybe that's your condition. But there's also this. When Christ delivers you from the power in the chain of Satan, can I say it, it's exactly then that you may feel more of Satan's power than when you were like a dog in the sunshine. Because exactly when God takes you from the dominion of Satan, that Satan comes and attacks and assaults. He is what 1 Peter 5 says, one going about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. He's the one who wants to keep us in his dominion in spiritual death or bring us back to his dominion and death. He wants to see us filled with evil. There's so many different devices and we could have a whole series on all the devices of Satan. Think of Thomas Brooks' Precious Remedies Against Satan's Devices, that book we had an evening on a year or two ago here in church. You think of how he uses his weapons to assault your mind, your heart. reasons with you in order to try and break down that resistance to what is wrong. He may show you his power in such a way that you would give up trying to resist him and give in and cave in to that power, that pressure that there is. He has his wedges. He begins small but he keeps wedging and wedging and wedging and wedging further to bring out, bring a division, to bring something in between you and God, to bring things in between you and others, to bring things between you and the Word of God, to bring things between you and the means of grace and the worship of God. He has so many wedges that he uses gradually and they become greater and greater. He has so many baits that he has in order to lure us into sin, just do it. Won't that give you pleasure? Just go along with him. He has these baits, just like a fisherman, to make you bite. Who's a match for the devil? He's mighty. He has thousands of years of experience in this work that he does. No wonder 1 Peter 5 says, be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil as a roaring lion goeth about seeking whom he may devour. And if that enemy isn't enough, then there is also not only the evil one, but also the evil world. Temptation so often comes through the evil world as that realm of sin and disobedience against God, where man is the standard and the goal of life, where it's life lived out with, lived without God. The world exerts its tempting power to just live life without reference to God. to live just for the things that we see with our eyes and feel with our hands and taste with our mouths and hear with our ears, just live for the things of this earth as if there is no God and as if we have no soul. That's always the pressure of the world, to conform to how the world lives without reference to the Word of God. That's why it can be such a subtle thing. It's not just wallowing in the open sin of the world, but living just for the things of this earth. Though it also does include, doesn't it, pursuing its pleasures and its entertainments and its enjoyments, also sinful ones. The world has so many things to fill your life. and so many avenues to reach you, to reach me, especially today. And it can cover over what it's really about, make it look nice, make it look fine. Just go along with its priorities. Go along with its entertainments. Go along with what it's obsessed with. Go along with the world. And the devil doesn't care too much if we go to church, as long as our hearts are like the world. Because he knows that James 4 is true, whoever will be a friend of the world is an enemy of God. He knows he then has you. Temptation. the evil one, an evil world. What's your greatest enemy? You look in the mirror and you see the greatest enemy. It's that evil within. Think of a country. It can have great enemies around it. and they may be coming in order to attack it. What does that land fear most? If it's filled with ones who side with the enemy, then all hope is gone. Why did, a little while ago, Russia, why was it able to come into Ukraine and take parts of Ukraine so easily? It's because there were so many in those areas who sided and supported Russia. They didn't care if the enemy came, and that's why it could come so easily. And so it is with us that our worst problem is that there is that enemy within that opens the door to Satan, opens the door to the world, and lets them in. James 1 says, every man is tempted when he is drawn away of his own lust and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin, and sin when it is finished bringeth forth death. Temptation gets hold of us because we open the door to it. There is that evil within us that allows it in. That's the greatest problem. That's what the catechism calls our flesh And there it's not just referring to our physical body, but it's referring to our corrupt flesh. As it says in John 3, that which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the spirit is spirit. It's saying the way we are born, we are just that corrupt flesh. That's why we need to be born again, to have that new life, that new man born within us. But even when we do have that new man, we still have that old man, that evil within us, as Paul found in Romans 7, that there was this law working in his members, bringing him into the captivity to sin. That's why Galatians 5 says, the flesh lusteth against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh, and these are contrary one to another, and they are there, there is that battle right inside. These enemies, it says in Arcanicism, cease not to assault us. Strong language, isn't it? Imagine being a country always at war, always having enemies assault. Yet isn't it true? Painfully true. Haven't you found that? my painful experience. And at the times you think, I don't need to worry, are the very times you find yourself falling, because those enemies cease not to assault. You think, now I won't be proud anymore, before you know it, that pride is growing. You may think, now that certain sin, it's over. And another sin comes up in your life which you never saw. Because this evil doesn't cease to assault. And yes, at times the Lord lifts his people above the strife and gives times of rest and gives times of refreshment and gives times of, as Mary this morning, my soul will be glad in the Lord, I will rejoice in God my Savior. And you seem lifted above the battle. And yet Satan is always watching. How can I bring him down? Because if you are a believer, you are a soldier in the battlefield of this life. And that lifelong call is to fight the good fight of faith. Always. What an enemy. Two are we. We have it here. We are so weak in ourselves that we cannot stand a moment. And our mortal enemies cease not to assault us. It's a picture of weakness, isn't it? We cannot stand a moment. There have been enemies that have been quickly conquered. Holland, it didn't take so long for Germany to conquer. But here it says we cannot stand, it's not just a few days, but a moment. Is it really that bad? Am I really that weak? But I will. Is that what you think? I'm not that weak. know what sin is I can stay away from sin I can stand I can really there was also another man who was sure that he could stand and he was sincere and he was someone who truly loved the Lord And out of the love of his heart said, I will stand. I will not give in. And even if it means going to death, I will go to death rather than give in. I will stand. Do you know who it was? Peter. Remember? On that night in which the Lord Jesus was betrayed, he said, though all men deny thee, I will never deny thee. Thought he was strong. And there he was a little later by the fire. And there was that young servant girl. You also were with them. I don't know who you're talking about. And you would think that then he would remember. Remember you said you would never deny? And that very moment he would run away. But maybe he thought I can handle it next time. But the next time came, and he spoke even stronger. And the third time, he did it with a very oath. He denied that he knew the Lord Jesus. And what did he learn in that night? I cannot stand a moment against these enemies. I need Christ. My friend, have you learned that lesson? Learn that lesson that you are no match for sin and Satan and the world and your own evil heart. You are no match. That on your own you cannot stand. In fact, you're defeated. What a lesson that is. It goes against all our own pride that makes us think we are good and we can manage and we can be a good person on our own. I cannot stand a moment because the Lord Jesus says to me, without me you can do nothing. That's essential lesson to learn in the spiritual battle because one of Satan's devices is to feed that sinful pride that makes us think that we can manage. not bow before God as one who can't stand a moment and therefore seeking help from God alone. Satan is happy when we are self-reliant. But God warns, he that thinks he stands take heed lest he fall. There's so many examples of that in Scripture, aren't there? Think of Noah, drunk. David, The adultery. Peter denying. Hezekiah in his pride showing off his riches. Josaphat making league again with that wicked king. So many examples, aren't there? Let him that thinks he can stand. To Cain lest he fall. There's also so many examples in the Word of God of those who appeared to be standing, appeared to be on the right side in the spiritual battle, who in the end fell to their eternal destruction. We read also 1 Corinthians 10, didn't we? How they appeared to be on God's side, all these people, and they were delivered from Egypt, and they were going through the Red Sea, and they were going to that promised land. They were the people of God. They were the soldiers of God. And yet we see that sin and disobedience filled them there in the wilderness, and with many of them God was not well pleased, and they perished there. They thought they could stand, but they fell to their eternal destruction." What a warning that is to us. In this battle, those enemies of God are so much greater than us. Even if you may know the grace of God and you may have been a believer for decades, still on your own, you cannot stand a moment. Why is it so important to learn that lesson? It's so that this would be our prayer, Lord, lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. It's that realization, I am no match for those enemies, that stirs up to that prayer to the God who is greater than them. to call for help in the midst of the battle. That's what Martin Luther realized too, didn't he, when he said, for still our ancient foe does seek to work us woe. His craft and power are great, and armed with cruel hate, on earth is not as equal. That's why he said, did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing, and that's why. This prayer here in this petition, lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. It's a prayer to this God of great power and grace. And so let us see secondly, God and his enemies. What's left congregation? For you and me. The power of evil. Maybe you feel it in particular ways in your life. Maybe you feel it in general. Maybe it's especially Satan. Maybe it's especially the pull of the world. Maybe it's especially the plague of your own evil heart. In the midst of that power, where else will you go? Then to this God, this Almighty God. Lead us not into temptation, Deliver us from evil because we're so weak. You don't have to pretend to be stronger than you are before God. He knows your weakness. He knows how prone to stumble as we sing in this altar. He knows your frame. He knows that evil there. You don't have to hide it. You can confess it to him this afternoon. And your prayer may be, lead us not into temptation. What's that mean? Lead us not into temptation. Does God lead people into temptation? Recently the Pope said, we have to change this petition. and no longer pray, lead us not into temptation, we should pray it this way, abandon us not when in temptation. He says, we as a church have made a 16-year study on this petition, and we come to this conclusion, and we've always said it wrong. It should be, abandon us not when in temptation. Because he said, it's not God who leads into temptation, it's the devil who leads into temptation. How do we respond? Well, first of all, we have to go by what does it say? What does it say in the Greek? And in the Greek which God has given us, it says, lead us not into temptation. It doesn't talk about abandoning us in temptation. And as Albert Muller, who was from the States, he said, this is the Lord's prayer, not the Pope's prayer to change as he pleases. But it still leaves us with this question, what then does it mean, lead us not into temptation? Does the Lord lead into temptation? We do find him doing so. In Matthew 4, for example, we read, then was Jesus led up of the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. The spirit led Jesus into the wilderness to be tempted. You say, but that was Jesus. Yes, it was. But it was the Lord Jesus as very man to be tempted as man. We say he was the Savior. Yes, he was. Glory be to God, he was the Savior. But we also can think of other accounts where we read of God leading people into a place of temptation. Do you remember Job? The devil saying he just fears God because he gets so much from God. And God says, well, devil, you may let All kinds of things happened to him. And that will be the place of temptation to say farewell to God, to curse God and die. God was letting Job go into that deep way of trial and temptation. But here's the difference. The devil did that as a temptation in order to get Job to curse God and die. God led him into that place of temptation as a trial in order to show what was in Job's heart. Because James 1 says, let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God, for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man. God doesn't tempt in the sense of try to stir up evil in us. That's what the devil does. But God does lead a long life's pathway through temptations. Why? Someone has given this illustration. Imagine if you are an employer and you notice that equipment is going missing and no one says they've done it. And so, you set it up one day, there's just one person working there, and you know there's that equipment, and you do it in order to see what he will do. He is placed in this place of temptation, not because you want him to take it and steal it, but in order to see what is in his heart, and whether he's honest when he says, I don't do this. or not. So also with God. In Deuteronomy 13, for example, God lets false prophets arise, not because he wants Israel to listen to false prophets. He says, thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, for the Lord your God proveth you, is testing you to know whether you love the Lord your God with all your heart. God leads them on that pathway where there are these temptations of false prophets, temptations to listen to them, to test their hearts whether they really will listen to him and him alone. Another reason he may lead along that path with temptations is to teach our own inability and dependence upon him. We read, for example, of how God left Hezekiah to try him, to test him, that he might know all that was in his heart. And then those Babylonians came after Hezekiah was healed. And then Hezekiah failed the test. He learned what was in his heart. This is God's way. And yet the prayer is, Lord, lead us not into temptations. And that's a confession, Lord, I'm weak and I'm afraid that if I have to go through that pathway and there are these temptations on the right and on the left of that pathway, I'm so afraid that I will go aside into this temptation and that temptation. And oh Lord, shield me from those temptations. It's a confession of someone who knows his own heart and how weak they are. If we think that we can go anywhere, and we can do anything, and we can be in the midst of who knows what, and it's not going to tempt us, and it's not going to lead us astray, and it doesn't matter what friends we have, they're not going to influence us, and it doesn't matter what we read, it's not going to corrupt us, if that is our attitude through life, and there is not that sense of the danger of temptation, then something is very, very seriously wrong. God teaches to pray, Lord, lead us not into temptation out of a self-knowledge of our own weakness. And if that's our prayer congregation, lead me not into temptation, then we will also try to avoid temptation, won't we? Christian and Pilgrim's Progress, Where did his pathway go? It went through Vanity Fair. He had to go through it. But it would have been wrong for him to take a detour to check out Vanity Fair and all it had to offer. Also for us, we have to go through this world. But for us to then think that we can go and check out everything this world has to offer is to unnecessarily place yourself into temptation. And that doesn't go with this prayer, lead us not into temptation. That's also why it's good to have safeguards to avoid temptations. Someone asked me a couple of weeks ago, do you think everyone in the congregation has a filter on their internet? I said, I don't know. But isn't that one thing? If we pray, lead me not into temptation, that we also have those safeguards to keep from temptations. They're not a guarantee, but they're a help. Lead us not into temptation. And at the same time we realize that life does have temptations and that's why in the next breath there is this prayer, but deliver us from evil. Deliver us from the evil that would make us yield to temptation when it comes. Deliver from evils that we would not be inclined to that temptation when it comes. Deliver us from evil so that the temptation would not have effect upon us when we go through it, that I'd stand. Is that your prayer? Lord, lead me not into temptation and in the midst of the evil, deliver me from that evil. Why may we pray this? Is it not because he has taught to pray this prayer? And if he has taught to pray this prayer, it must be because he lives to answer this prayer. He never teaches us to pray things that he would not give and he would not answer. And isn't that also the great encouragement? Christ knows who God is. Christ knows what God does. And he says, pray these things because I know my Father in heaven is the one who hears these prayers and shields from temptation and delivers from evil. Do you not see how essential it is to have this God in the midst of the spiritual battle as the one who shields you and as the one who delivers you from this evil? My friend, if you're struggling against sin on your own, it's a losing battle. I say it right now. It's a losing battle. You won't win on your own. And therefore, give up that attempt to overcome sin in your heart and life on your own and think, once I've overcome it, then I'll be able to go to God for knowing exactly because on your own you can't overcome, you need this God who delivers from evil today. Because without Him, it's useless. Therefore, in the midst of the power of evil within you and around you, let it drive you out today. to this Savior who has come to deliver from this present evil world, to deliver from the evil of your heart, to make you new. That's what he's come to do. Go to him with your evil for him to overcome. Do you see also how blessed it is to have this God in the midst of the battle, to have this God guide your life's pathway and be a shield to you and be the deliverer of you? Because he is so much mightier than all the temptation and all the evil that there is. Satan is on the devil's chain. We began by talking about how by nature we are on the devil's chains, but Satan is on God's chain. And Satan cannot go farther than the devil, this God allows. Think of Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress again. Remember those lions, those lions who were by the pathway? And they looked so fierce and those people were afraid to go through them. And then Christians saw they're on a chain. so he could go past. And can I say it's God who keeps Satan on a chain and does not allow him as that lion to devour his people. He says, this far and no further. That's what he did with Job, right? This far and no further, you cannot take his life. Isn't that such an encouragement? Also what we read here in 1 Corinthians 10, where it then says, in verse 13, there hath no temptation taken you, but such as is common to man. But God is faithful, who will not suffer, who will not allow you to be tempted above that ye are able, but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. Do you hear it? This God, will not allow his people to be overcome by temptation and perish. He makes a way of escape. He does so by limiting the power of temptation and giving strength in the midst of it. He can limit the power of temptation. He can change circumstances in His providence that you're in a place where you have to work, but there's these temptations there, and He changes what you do for work, and those temptations are taken away. He can change things in His providence in order to give relief from those pressures of temptation. He can restrain the power of Satan as he suggests things even in your mind and those thoughts that come, he can push them away and restrain those temptations in answer to this prayer. But he also gives strength in the midst of it. Strength to see the devices of Satan for what they are. And to see the evil of evil, the sinfulness of sin, and how destructive and devilish it is, so that the temptation fades away because you see how hateful that sin is against God and destroying of yourself. He does so through his word, doesn't he? Which unmasks temptation for what it is. And his word whereby he gives strength. fight against it. That word which also the Lord Jesus used in the wilderness it is written it is written it is written and that was the strength to resist that temptation and that's why if this is your prayer Lord deliver me from evil and lead me not into temptation, then open that Word of God. There's where you find the answer to this petition. It's through His Word that He gives that grace in order to stand in the midst of temptation. In that Word, He shows who He is in His glory and worthy of all your heart. In His Word, He ministers the grace of Christ in order to stand and gives a way of escape. The Lord knoweth, 2 Peter 2 says, the Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations. A way of escape. Maybe you say that sounds so simple, but in my life, if you knew what my life is like, it's not so simple. My friend, does it lead you to bow your knees and plead this petition, lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, and to remain on your knees before this God of almighty power who delivers? Satan always wants to make you think, just give up in the struggle against sin, just give in. There's no use, you're weak, you're this, you're that. He won't hear you. He does whatever he can to keep you from your knees. Maybe that's what he's been doing. And here this afternoon, God is saying, on your knees. your weakness before me the God of almighty power and matchless grace." That's why Ephesians 6 when it talks about that spiritual battle and all the spiritual armor it ends with this praying always, always. He hears to preserve in the midst of temptation. He also hears to deliver from evil. Deliver from evil. Also in this sense, that as a soldier you fall. There you are in the evil. He is a faithful captain who doesn't just let his soldiers fall and die. He comes to rescue and deliver from evil again. That's why Micah can say, Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy. When I fall, I shall arise. When I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me. He delivers again and again. Do not give up. can feel ensnared again and again. He delivers. Deliver us from evil is not a vain petition. He breaks the snare of the fowler. He enables to escape in the midst of that sin that you find in you. Therefore, this continual prayer, deliver us from evil. And if that is your prayer, then will it again not make you want to hear that word of deliverance? It's the word of deliverance that he uses, the word of his gospel, of the Savior who has come into this world to deliver from sin and evil. Mighty though they seem, his arm almighty will his saints redeem. We sing it because it's true. He is mighty to preserve in the midst of temptation. He is mighty to deliver from evil. But also, lastly, He is mighty to enable to fight against sin. That's why it speaks here that I might not be overcome in this spiritual warfare, but constantly and strenuously may resist our foes. There is a battle, and it's a real battle. And it's an ongoing battle. And he knows his soldiers have no strength. But that's why he says, be strong in the Lord. And in the power of his might. Whose strength is made perfect in weakness. He has such a strange army. It's an army of people who can't stand a moment. And yet they're not overcome. because He is their strength. In the midst of your weakness, His strength to fight that you can't give in, and you can't be content with that sin within, that He makes it more and more of an enemy to you. Who shall deliver me from this body of death? An enemy you can't be reconciled to, you must fight. Fight by his strength. It can be discouraging, but then the victory is secure, and the victory is sure. Because the same Paul who said, who shall deliver me could end that chapter in Romans 7 was with, I thank God through Jesus Christ. Christ has gained that victory, not only for himself, but for all his weak and weary soldiers who on themselves can't stand a moment, he's already gained the victory. And that's the encouragement to persevere. Until you reach that victory, share in it fully, to be delivered forever from every evil, every sin, that's the future. Here it is the struggle. There it is the full victory. In the way of the strife, there will be an overcoming. through him, through him alone, whose presence goes before us. And that's why, congregation, we are shown these three things, these enemies we are no match for, so that every one of us would realize how desperately we need that one who is above them all. to know Him, to belong to Him, to share in His grace, delivering us from sin, and so to fight, not on our own, but out of His supply. The supply that's received through this ongoing prayer, lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. And in that way, there will be the song, bless be the Lord who delivers. fully. Amen.
