man_n hold_v john_n as_o a_o prophet_n the_o reason_n why_o paul_n ministry_n be_v ineffectual_a to_o many_o corinihian_o be_v this_o because_o they_o question_v his_o call_n and_o therefore_o he_o labour_v to_o vindicate_v his_o apostolical_a authority_n all_o along_o the_o epistle_n this_o do_v take_v off_o that_o awe_n and_o majesty_n that_o shall_v be_v in_o man_n to_o the_o word_n as_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o reason_n why_o the_o ministry_n of_o paul_n be_v so_o effectual_a to_o the_o thessalonian_n be_v this_o because_o when_o they_o receive_v the_o word_n of_o god_n they_o
