which_o i_o demand_v moreover_o see_v he_o teach_v in_o another_o place_n that_o sin_n be_v the_o sting_n of_o death_n what_o death_n be_v it_o that_o can_v sting_v we_o since_o his_o sting_n be_v

and_o therefore_o if_o grace_n surmount_v sin_n there_o remain_v no_o place_n for_o death_n wherefore_o as_o by_o adam_n death_n enter_v &_o reign_v even_o so_o do_v life_n also_o now_o reign_v by_o

with_o their_o own_o weapon_n for_o when_o as_o they_o say_v that_o death_n be_v the_o punishment_n of_o sin_n they_o forthwith_o grant_v that_o if_o man_n have_v not_o sin_v he_o have_v be_v
