the_o benefit_n of_o other_o he_o direct_v they_o earnest_o to_o covet_v the_o better_a those_o which_o be_v to_o abide_v and_o be_v necessary_a to_o their_o own_o salvation_n and_o now_o say_v he_o

the_o effect_n of_o which_o he_o here_o give_v we_o a_o more_o particular_a enumeration_n for_o this_o reason_n the_o apostle_n mention_n here_o neither_o faith_n nor_o hope_n the_o preparatory_a
