1._o vers_fw-la 29._o say_v to_o you_o be_v give_v for_o christ_n not_o only_o to_o believe_v in_o he_o but_o also_o to_o suffer_v for_o his_o sake_n they_o who_o suffer_v for_o christ_n may_v think_v they_o have_v get_v a_o great_a gift_n far_o of_o this_o argument_n i_o mark_v this_o the_o hatred_n and_o love_n of_o man_n be_v common_a to_o jesus_n christ_n with_o his_o member_n so_o that_o

love_v god_n and_o hate_v his_o disciple_n have_v in_o their_o heart_n first_o the_o hatred_n of_o the_o father_n so_o now_o man_n will_v say_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o hatred_n of_o the_o

a_o man_n to_o patience_n this_o suffering_n for_o a_o good_a cause_n be_v principal_a for_o it_o bring_v with_o it_o great_a joy_n when_o a_o man_n suffer_v as_o a_o evil_a doer_n as_o a_o thief_n a_o adulterer_n or_o murderer_n he_o will_v not_o suffer_v patient_o &_o joyful_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o let_v joy_n come_v of_o sin_n but_o if_o they_o have_v joy_n that_o come_v upon_o the_o

be_v to_o suffer_v for_o jesus_n christ_n and_o if_o ever_o one_o find_v joy_n in_o suffering_n they_o find_v the_o great_a joy_n for_o as_o it_o be_v say_v 1._o pet._n 4.14_o of_o those_o who_o
