this_o description_n which_o note_v out_o a_o believer_n by_o the_o spirit_n he_o have_v receive_v and_o the_o spirit_n by_o the_o rule_n and_o dominion_n he_o have_v now_o in_o and_o over_o he_o and_o this_o rule_n of_o the_o spirit_n over_o believer_n by_o this_o that_o sin_n do_v not_o now_o reign_v in_o they_o though_o sin_n be_v in_o they_o and_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o
