be_v forgeven_v he_o by_o jesus_n christ_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v ready_a at_o hand_n namely_o that_o forasmuch_o as_o god_n have_v promise_v thou_o to_o accept_v thou_o for_o righteous_a through_o the_o merit_n of_o jesus_n christ_n if_o thou_o believe_v not_o that_o thou_o be_v become_v righteous_a through_o he_o thou_o make_v god_n a_o liar_n and_o consequent_o thou_o make_v thyself_o
