the_o apostle_n answer_v that_o there_o be_v a_o law_n above_o it_o a_o law_n after_o it_o the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n jesus_n christ_n oppose_v law_n unto_o law_n the_o law_n of_o

christ_n have_v continue_v our_o mortality_n else_o he_o will_v have_v abolish_v death_n itself_o if_o he_o have_v not_o mean_v to_o abolish_v sin_n by_o death_n and_o indeed_o it_o will_v appear_v
