Paul’s Letter to American Christians, The Alternate Ending

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s sermon “Paul’s Letter to American Christians” is a tremendous and powerful work, well worth reading in its entirety today. (You can read a PDF of an early version here or pick up a copy of Strength to Love.) Interestingly, later versions include an alternate ending that focuses on the grace of God. I’ve transcribed the parts of the audio that differ significantly from the YouTube version at the bottom of the post, which unfortunately doesn’t give the date or location that this version of the sermon was delivered.
