Chapter 4
1Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3 and every spirit that confesseth not [doesn’t confess] that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
Therefore, I hereby confess that "Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh!"

Chapter 3
"16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:
God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit,
believed on in the world, received up into glory."
You are invited to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as your savior and your Lord and to publicly acknowledge Him as such. He will acknowledge you then to His Father; The God of Abraham. Isaac and Jacob. You are also invited to follow Him in believer’s baptism.
Jesus came from Galilee to Jordan to be baptized by John the Baptist. But, John forbad [refused] Him and said, “I have need to be baptized of You and [yet] you are coming to me?” [for baptism] And Jesus answering him said, “Suffer it to be so [Allow this]: for thus it becometh [is fitting and right for] us to fulfil all righteousness.” Matthew 3:15
Baptism is not required for salvation. Remember, Jesus said to the thief on the cross, who acknowledged Jesus’ innocence and said to him. “Remember me when you come into your kingdom.” And Jesus said to him, “Verily [Truly] I say to you, Today you shall be with me in paradise.” Luke 23:43
The act of Baptism pictures the Lord’s death and resurrection and by extension through identification with Him, also pictures the believer’s death to self, atonement, and new, born-again life.
The ordinance of Baptism follows the preaching of John the Baptist. He preached the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand and exhorted Repentance from sin and the Baptism of atonement. Therefore, while the ordinance of baptism is not required for salvation it should be followed
to fulfil all righteousness.
_______________________________________________
Worship The Lord Jesus in Spirit and in truth.
Such worship will manifest itself in fervent Prayer, Bible reading, study and meditation, Hearing and heeding inspired gospel preaching, The singing of inspired, sacred hymns and songs.
We trust the Website: dailypurgeon.com will be encouraging and helpful.
It cannot however, take the place of in-person congregational worship with a local body of believers.
“Study to show yourself approved unto God, a worker that needs not be ashamed, rightly dividing [accurately comprehending and sharing ] the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15
Helping believers to become more fully devoted followers of The Lord Jesus Christ is our sincere desire. We trust Him for our salvation, guidance, strength and our eternal destiny. We will, in His almighty power, win souls through the instrumentalities He may inspire in us. We will invite and encourage non-believers to turn away from sin, look to Him and be saved.
We trust that believers (old and new) will benefit from knowing He will sustain, guide and build us up as we are being conformed to the image of Christ Jesus by the power of the Holy Ghost.
DailySpurgeon.com is an Internet presence of devotional writings, prayers and encouragement from Charles Haddon Spurgeon. He has rightly divided [preached and taught] God’s Word through Sermons from The Metropolitan Tabernacle, with sacred congregational music of worship and praise to encourage and strengthen edification from GOD’S Word and for the elect to become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ.
With a legacy of 140 books and His Sermon Collections of 83 volumes Spurgeon is the most prolific writer in History. [GOAT]
DAILY SPURGEON and DEVOTION for July 16th *A.D. 2026 Written and calendared for this exact date by Charles Haddon Spurgeon 1834-1892
Please Discern whether this website is trustworthy according to GOD’S authoritative, inspired, [GOD breathed] inerrant, immutable Scripture ?
Is it of God?
Is it trustworthy? Please Re-read the following.
4 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the [Holy] Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth [confesses] that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh is of God: 3 and every spirit that confesseth not [doesn’t confess] that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
Hence, I confess here that "Jesus Christ is come [is present, here] in the flesh!"

BC/AD versus BCE/CE What’s the difference?​
Defend the Truth. Won’t you?
[The English translations of the Bible that use a manuscript other than the Textus Receptus translates “is come” as “Has come” and ignore “ictin” (Greek word for is) This error is self-evident because non-believers and false prophets can, and often do, make the confession that Jesus, The Christ [Messiah] “has come” in the flesh. While it is true that He has come, it does not have the same discernment as the confession, “Is HERE”.
The most well documented fact in all of recorded human history is that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. The main question to be ascertained, however, is not whether the spirit [words] being tested say that Jesus Christ “has come” in the flesh but, whether Jesus Christ, “is here, from God, in the flesh.”
Ephesians 5:30-32
30 for we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. 32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
Compare, here, scripture with scripture: “I speak concerning Christ and the church.” [the fleshly embodiment, here, of the body of Christ].

A SINNER'S PRAYER July 16th
________________________________________
PRAYER 25, July 16th Part 10 of 10 THE WASHING OF WATER BY THE WORD.
Now, we pray Thee to grant us the blessing which we have already sought, and let it come upon all the churches of our beloved country. May the Lord revive true and undefiled religion [Faith in Jesus Christ alone] here and in all the other lands where [Jesus] Christ is known and preached, and let the day come when heathendom shall become converted, when the crescent of Mohammed shall wane into eternal night, and when she that sitteth [sits] on the Seven Hills and exalts [pridefully places] herself in the place of God shall be cast down to sink like a millstone in the flood. Let the blessed Gospel of the eternal God prevail, let the whole earth be filled with His glory. Oh! that we may live to see that day.
[In your name, Lord Jesus we pray, Amen.]
(Attachment: PRAYER 25.doc)

ANECDOTE 343: July 16th FISHING BUT NEVER CATCHING.
If a minister can be content to go on preaching without converts or baptisms, the Lord have mercy upon his miserable soul! Can he be a minister of Christ who does not win souls? A man might as well be a huntsman and never take any prey [edible food] , a fisherman and always come home with empty nets, a husbandman and never reap a harvest! I wonder at some people’s complacency. When God never blesses them, they never fail to bless themselves.
“Divine sovereignty withholds the increase,” they say. But it really is their idleness that tends to poverty. The promise of God is to the diligent, not the indolent [lazy]. Let Paul plant, and let Apollos water, God will give the increase. It may not come to-day, nor to-morrow, nor the next day,
but come it must. The word cannot return unto God void.

FAITH’S CHECKBOOK July 16th THE MOURNER COMFORTED
by C.H. Spurgeon
-Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted- Matthew 5:4
-Bienaventurados los que lloran: porque ellos recibirán consolación- Mateo 5:4
By the valley of weeping, we come to Zion. One would have thought mourning and being blessed were in opposition, but the infinitely wise Savior puts them together, in this beatitude [blessing]. What He has joined together let no man put asunder [apart].
Mourning for sin -our own sins, and the sins of others-
is the Lord’s seal set upon His faithful ones.
When the Spirit of grace is poured upon the house of David, or any other house,
they shall mourn.
By [through] holy mourning we receive the best of our blessings, even as the rarest commodities come to us by water. Not only shall the mourner be blessed at some future day, but
Christ pronounces him blessed even now.
The Holy Spirit will surely comfort those hearts which mourn for sin.
They shall be comforted by the application of the blood of Jesus, and by the cleansing power of the Holy Ghost. They shall be comforted as to the abounding sin of their city and of their age by the assurance that
God will glorify Himself, however much men may rebel against Him.
They shall be comforted with the expectation that they shall be wholly freed from sin before long, and shall soon be taken up to dwell forever in the glorious presence of their Lord.
Prayer: Thank You Father, that You comfort our mourning. Thank You also for giving us Your word of encouragement. Help us to embrace sorrow knowing that you will bring blessing to us, from it in your name, Lord Jesus, I pray, Amen.

MORNING July 16th
"The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out. " —Leviticus 6:13
-El fuego ha de arder continuamente en el altar ; no se apagará-—Levítico 6:13
KEEP the altar of private prayer burning. This is the very life of all godliness. The sanctuary [church worship] and family altars [personal devotions] borrow their fires here [start new fires from lively, burning ones], therefore let this one burn well.
Secret devotion is the very essence, evidence, and barometer of vital and experiential [practical] religion [vibrant, lively faith in the Lord Jesus].
Burn here the fat of your sacrifices. Let your closet [private prayer] seasons be, if possible, regular, frequent, and undisturbed.
The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much James 5:16. [is very fruitful].
Have you nothing to pray for? Let us suggest
the church,
the ministry [and ministers],
your own soul,
your children,
your relations,
your neighbors,
your country, and
the cause of God and truth throughout the world.
Let us examine ourselves on this important matter. Do we engage with luke-warmness [half-heartedness] in private devotion? Is the fire of devotion [to the Lord Jesus] burning dimly in our hearts? Do the chariot wheels drag heavily [barely turn]?
If so, let us be alarmed at this sign of decay. Let us go with weeping and ask for the Spirit of grace and of supplications [effectual prayer].
Let us set apart special seasons for extraordinary prayer.
For if this fire should be smothered beneath the ashes of worldly conformity, it will dim the fire on family devotions, and lessen our influence both in the church and in the world.
The text will also apply to the altar of the heart. This is a golden altar indeed.
God loves to see the hearts of His people glowing towards Himself.
Let us give our hearts to God, all blazing with love, and seek His grace, that the fire may never be quenched [put out]; for it will not burn if the Lord does not keep it burning.
Many foes will attempt to extinguish it; but if the unseen hand behind the wall pour thereon the sacred oil, it will blaze higher and higher.
Let us use texts of Scripture as fuel for our heart's fire, they are live coals; let us attend sermons, but above all,
let us be much alone with Jesus.

EVENING July 16th
"He appeared first to Mary Magdalene. " —Mark 16:9
— Apareció Jesús primeramente á María Magdalena—Marcos 16:9
JESUS "appeared first to Mary Magdalene,"
probably not only on account of her great love and persevering [relentless] seeking, but because, as the context intimates, [shows] she had been a special trophy of Christ's delivering power.
Learn from this, that the greatness of our sin before conversion should not make us imagine that we may not be specially favored with the very highest grade of fellowship.
She was one who had left all to become a constant attendant on the Savior. He was her first, her chief object. Many who were on Christ's side did not take up Christ's cross;
she did.
She spent her substance in relieving His wants. If we would see much of Christ, let us
serve Him.
Tell me who they are that sit oftenest [the most frequently] under the banner of His love and drink deepest from the cup of communion [the Lord’s supper], and I am sure they will be those who give most, who serve best, and who abide closest to the bleeding heart of their dear Lord [Jesus].
But notice how Christ revealed Himself to this sorrowing one—by the word,
"Mary."
With only one word in His voice, she knew Him at once, and her heart owned allegiance by another word; her heart was too full to say more.
That one word would naturally be the most fitting for the occasion. It implies obedience.
She said, "Master."
There is no state of mind in which this confession of allegiance will be too cold. No, when your spirit glows most with the heavenly fire, then you will say,
"I am Your servant, You have loosed my bonds [You have set me free]."
If you can say, "Master," if you feel that His will is your will, then you stand in a happy, holy place.
He must have said your name or else you could not have said, "Rabboni" [Master].
See, then, from all this, how Christ honors those who honor Him, how love draws [attracts] our Beloved, [and] how but one word of His,
turns our weeping to rejoicing, how
His presence makes the heart's sunshine [sunshine in our hearts].
Sing: There is Sunshine in my Soul today

A SINNER’S PRAYER July 16th
Whosoever shall call on the name of the lord shall be saved. Acts 2:21
Pray and call on the name of the Lord Jesus, like this. Won’t you?
“Lord Jesus, I’m a sinner. I’m lost and hopeless to save myself. Without you and your blood that was shed for me and Your death on the cross I would spend eternity in Hell’s fire.
Thank you Lord Jesus that You love me and died for me before I was born and that You have always loved me and will never reject or turn your back on me. I know You are the Way, the Truth and the Life and that no one can come to the Father but by You.
Thank you, Father that You have caused for me to see myself as I am; a lost sinner. But, because of Your love and goodness, You have made a way and given me the desire to come to You, to turn away from my sin and to trust in You, Lord Jesus. You took my place on the cross and provided the way for me to be forgiven. Thank You.
Thank You that You prompted a desire in me to believe in You, the only begotten Son of God who died on the cross to be the sacrifice that would atone for my sins.
Thank You, Father for Your love that allowed Jesus to suffer and die in my place. Thank You that You raised Jesus from the dead. He is RISEN and is ALIVE and in Him we are victorious over sin, death and the grave and in Christ Jesus I am free.
You raised Jesus from the dead, gave Him a Glorified body and after he was seen by many witnesses on earth You took Him up to reign with You in heaven.
Thank you, Father, for saving me in the name, of Your only begotten Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
Romans 6:11
Thank you, Holy Spirit, that you always give witness to and exalt the Lord Jesus Christ.
John 16:8-11
With all my heart, thank you Lord for saving me.
Live Your life in me, Lord Jesus, in Your name I pray, Amen.

WHO IS THE GOD OF THE BIBLE?
by David Hocking
WHAT ARE HIS NAMES?
(1 One) His Name is INCOMPREHENSIBLE!
Exodus 3:13-15 “13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? 14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. 15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.”
Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given:
and the government shall be upon his shoulder:
and his name shall be called Wonderful,
Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Authorized (King James) Version
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
it is high, I cannot attain unto it.”
(2 Two) His Name is INFINITE!
Psalm 145:1-3
1 I will extol thee, my God, O king;
and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.
2 Every day will I bless thee;
and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.
3 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;
and his greatness is unsearchable.
Romans 11:33
33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
(3 Three) His Name is INCORRUPTABLE!
(two issues: holy and eternal)

Psalm 135:13
Thy Name, O LORD endureth for ever; and Thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.”

(4 Four) His name is IMMUTABLE! [Unchanged and unchangeable]
Malachi 3:6
“For I am the LORD, I change not.”
Hebrews 6:18
That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have (1) a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon (2) the hope set before us.”
(5 Five) His name is INCOMPARABLE! [Without Equal]
Deuteronomy 4:35
“Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightiest know that the LORD He is God; there is none else beside Him.”
Deuteronomy 4:39
Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the Lord he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.
(6 Six) His Name is INDESCRIBABLE! [No description adequately describes HIM]
El, Eloah, Elyon, Elohim, Adon, Adonai, - Yah, Yahveh
(The Names for GOD used 10,952 times in the Bible!)
____________________________________
To Abraham – His Name is El Shaddai [God Almighty, Abundant Provider, Provider of More than Enough]

Why Cults, False Teachers and Heretics have tried to delete 1 John 5:7
from the Bible.
By Dr. Phil Stringer
By Dr. Phil Stringer
1 John 5:7 Is The Great Trinitarian Proof Text of The Bible. (For The immutable Doctrine of the Trinity.)
Daniel Webster [Author of the Famous Webster Dictionary] was once asked. “Does it not bother you [Mr. Webster] to believe in the Trinity since you cannot explain it?
His answer was, “What would bother me would be to have a God so small that I could fully explain HIM.”

By Dr. David Sorenson
In addition to overwhelming evidence of authenticity from the 5,321 Majority Text Greek manuscripts, this link gives Translational Evidence that proves the age of the Textus Receptus to be older than both the Codices Sinaiticus and Vaticanus, Primary Greek sources used in all Critical Text translations.
This includes Westcott and Hort, Nestle and Aland and the Codices Sinaiticus and *Vaticanus.
*The unique and final Greek Text so deemed, authorized and sanctioned by the Catholic Church and The Vatican.
__________________________________________
The Lord Jesus *Christ
[*Anointed Messiah]
was supernaturally Fathered by the Holy Ghost, and born of a teen-aged virgin girl named Mary 2026 years ago in Bethlehem of Judea.
He was crucified, and His lifeless body was placed in a tomb. After three days, GOD brought Him back to life again, and raised HIM from the dead victorious over sin, death and the grave.
He is GOD’S Incarnate WORD and Everlasting SACRIFICE, The LAMB of GOD, [THE WORD of GOD made flesh.] The CHURCH is the BODY of *Christ,
*[The MESSIAH.]
[The CHURCH] is HIS espoused [Legally Bound] Bride, for whom HE will come again to consummate their Marriage in the Marriag and Protected Words of GOD.
These WORDS are God-Breathed, [Spoken] Eternal WORDS spoken by Almighty GOD. The same GOD who calls Himself “I AM”, is Omni-Lingual, Omnipotent, Omniscient, Immutable, All-Wise, Omnipresent, Eternally and Supremely Holy. He is the One-and-Only Triune, Three-in-One GOD.
“I and my Father are one”. John 10:30
________________________________
1 John 5:7 Is the fundamental scriptural basis for the doctrine and essential tenet of the Trinity. [The Triune, [Three-in-One] GOD in-Three Persons (This verse has been omitted or Changed to diminish the authority and the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ or has been Removed entirely from all Critical Text translations by apostates that hold to the untenable goal of False Doctrine that gives rise to all manner of Cults, False Teaching, Heresies, false Prophets, Agnostics, Gnostics, Atheists and Pagans.
Therefore, The incarnate WORD of GOD, [Jesus *Christ
(*The Anointed MESSIAH) and His Father are ONE.] John 10:30
7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, [Jesus Christ] and the Holy Ghost: and
THESE THREE ARE ONE. John 10:30
8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, [Holy Ghost] and the Water [Life of the Father], and the Blood; [The Sacrificial Blood of Jesus Christ]: and these three AGREE IN ONE. 9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son, [The LORD Jesus *Christ
*(The Anointed Messiah)].
GOD calls Himself “I AM” and Jesus Christ is The WORD made Flesh, GOD’s WORD is infinite and will endure FOREVER, from Eternity Past through the never-ending Eternal Future.

The Traditional Text: It's History & Manifestation
By Dr. David Sorenson
In addition to evidence of authenticity from the 5,321 Majority Text manuscripts, this link presents Translational Evidence that the Traditional Text is Inerrant, Infallible and is the Inspired [Word-by-Word, GOD-Breathed Greek Text that moved the Prophets and Apostles to write precisely the Greek and Hebrew words they were told to write by the Holy Ghost]
The Traditional Text. Length: (33:56 minutes)
The Traditional Greek Text was printed, not written by Desiderius Erasmus and was used in the FIRST Christian Church at Antioch. It was later called The Received Text [vis. Latin: The Textus Receptus TR].
Over Five Billion King James Bibles, the 1769 Edition [NOT the NEW King James Bibles based on the inferior Critical Greek Text] account for more sales world-wide than any other version or edition of the Holy Bible.
This is more than all other Bible Versions and Editions Combined.
______________________________________
By Dr. David Sorenson
So, Dr. Sorenson, “I hear You are King James Only.”
No, I’m Traditional Text only. But if you come to the view and the conviction of being Traditional Text only, you will be Only King James.
The issue is not translational.
Marketing ploys by publishing companies with little basis in reality would have us to believe that the new versions are:
-
Easier to read.
-
More modern.
-
More accurate (Not true)
The truth is that the KJV remains The most popular. (is still the most popularly read Bible in America). Over five billion copies of the King James (1769) is greater than all the other versions and editions combined.
The issue comes down to the textual issue. By That, I refer to the underlying Greek text. I guess we could say texts, plural but particularly that of the New Testament. On the one hand is the Traditional Text from which the only major English translation is the King James Version of the Bible. The Traditional Text.
On the other hand, is the Critical Text sometimes called the eclectic text from whence all the other translations come. And some will say well there really is no difference between them. The difference you could amount to is just the footnotes in the bottom of a page. (This is Not true) He was not dishonest but just repeating what someone had told him.

We’re Grateful.
Thank you, Lord, for DailySpurgeon.com a website to encourage and support personal devotions to the Lord Jesus. This ministry started with sending e-mails of Faith’s Checkbook by Charles H. Spurgeon to Jon Edward Riley and others he would include..
Jon was called home by his loving Father in Heaven on January 16, 2021.
His memory is honored here, giving honor to whom honor is due. We pray that through this and all other instrumentalities that God may effect, many will be born again, challenged, encouraged, and supported to grow in personal devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ while being conformed to His image; that they might be the firstborn among many brethren.. Romans 13:7 Romans 8:28-29
A PRAYER OF GRATITUDE: by Jon Edward Riley,
(February 12, 1971- January16, 2021)
From an Indigenous, Irish, well beloved All-American son giving a prayer of gratitude to the Lord for in: “The heart of Freedom”
INDIAN SCOUT POST NO 1 Burial grounds at White Shield, North Dakota.
… a compassionate prayer of gratitude, thanking the Lord for the Military Service of Native-American Scouts serving the United States of America. …the land of the free and the home of the Brave.
________________________________________
Jon loved to say, “I’m a blood bought, born-again child of God!” to anyone he happened to meet.
… Jon’s testimony is from one who, by grace through faith was forever accepted in the Beloved; who’s loving ways brought the good news of Jesus to many. and one who is present with the LORD in glory forever. One with whom we’ll one day meet again.
Amen.
Jon would sometimes just sing-out some of the following songs on the way to church, or sometimes just singing along with the Elvis Gospel CD that was always in our F-150’s CD player while riding with his Dad or,

SACRED LITERATURE: The Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan
Note: Spurgeon was taught to read at a very early age and read The Pilgrim’s Progress for the first time when he was six years old. He would return to re-read it over 100 times. He made many references to it in his sermons as Pastor of The Metropolitan Tabernacle in London.
Excerpt from Sermon: II. § 5 THE SWEETNESS OF THIS MYSTERY,
WHICH IS CHRIST IN YOU
"Christ in us is Christ reigning." reminds me [Spurgeon] of Mr. Bunyan’s picture in The Pilgrim’s Progress. of [the town of] Mansoul, …when the Prince Immanuel laid siege to it, and Diabolus from within the city strove to keep him out. It was a, hard time for Mansoul then; but when at last the battering rams [ancient weapons of war] had broken down the gates, and the silver trumpets sounded, and the prince’s captains entered the breach, then on a day the prince himself did ride down the city’s streets, while liberated citizens welcomed him with all their hearts, hung out all their streamers, and made the church towers rock again as the bells rang out merry peals [melodies], for the king himself was come. Up to the castle of the heart [main castle] he rode in triumph, and took his royal throne to be henceforth the sole lord and king of the city.
Christ in you is a right royal word. Christ swaying his scepter from the center of your being over every power and faculty, desire and resolve, bringing every thought into captivity to himself, oh, this is glory begun, and the sure pledge of heaven. Oh for more of the imperial sovereignty of Jesus; it is our liberty to be absolutely under his sway.
Spurgeon’s Full Sermon: Christ in You, May 13, 1883 Scripture: Colossians 1:27 From: Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, Volume 29 (cit. II. The Mystery of this is Christ In You, the hope of glory.
