to_o walk_v as_o the_o man_n of_o the_o world_n walk_v and_o to_o do_v as_o they_o do_v if_o they_o be_v envious_a you_o must_v not_o be_v envious_a if_o they_o be_v contentious_a and_o quarrelsome_a you_o must_v not_o be_v contentious_a and_o

or_o for_o christ_n in_o opposition_n to_o his_o minister_n they_o pretend_v to_o the_o immediate_a teach_n of_o christ_n and_o have_v no_o need_n of_o the_o ministry_n of_o such_o as_o paul_n
