sin_n for_o which_o christ_n have_v satisfy_v can_v hurt_v but_o christ_n have_v satisfy_v for_o sin_n past_a and_o to_o come_v therefore_o sin_n past_a and_o to_o come_v can_v hurt_v us._n answer_n

to_o the_o first_o question_n we_o answer_v that_o a_o reasonable_a creature_n may_v be_v just_a before_o god_n by_o the_o conformity_n with_o the_o law_n inherent_a in_o he_o as_o bless_a man_n and_o
