the_o all_o of_o believer_n why_o do_v the_o scripture_n use_v such_o very_a different_a language_n in_o the_o same_o thing_n sometime_o christ_n be_v call_v the_o saviour_n of_o the_o world_n and_o sometime_o the_o saviour_n of_o the_o body_n sometime_o it_o be_v say_v that_o christ_n die_v or_o give_v himself_o for_o all_o or_o for_o the_o world_n &_o sometime_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o
