not_o follow_v that_o because_o man_n can_v merit_v temporal_a reward_n at_o the_o hand_n of_o man_n therefore_o they_o may_v merit_v eternal_a reward_n from_o god_n for_o 1._o humane_a reward_n be_v

a_o eternal_a reward_n there_o can_v be_v no_o merit_n therefore_o the_o apostle_n do_v very_o well_o express_v the_o immeritoriousness_n of_o that_o which_o be_v the_o top_n of_o christian_a work_n
