of_o god_n etc._n etc._n that_o the_o strength_n of_o this_o inference_n may_v more_o full_o appear_v i_o shall_v distinct_o note_v these_o particular_n 1._o the_o subject_a speak_v of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n whether_o it_o be_v god_n love_n to_o we_o or_o our_o love_n to_o god_n be_v question_v some_o think_v both_o be_v intend_v and_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o it_o shall_v fail_v

faith_n may_v fail_v but_o the_o impossibility_n arise_v from_o god_n will_n he_o will_v not_o suffer_v our_o love_n to_o fail_v so_o that_o ultimate_o the_o not_o fail_v of_o our_o love_n be_v resolve_v into_o god_n unchangeable_a love_n and_o beside_o the_o expression_n of_o the_o last_o verse_n of_o this_o chapter_n the_o love_n of_o god_n which_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n our_o lord_n do_v clear_o point_v at_o god_n love_n to_o we_o 2._o the_o next_o thing_n assert_v be_v our_o non-separation_n from_o this_o love_n the_o word_n in_o the_o greek_a 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d be_v

will_v never_o be_v a_o divorce_n or_o eternal_a separation_n 3._o the_o impossibility_n of_o this_o separation_n appear_v in_o this_o discourse_n two_o way_n 1._o by_o a_o enumeration_n of_o those_o thing_n that_o may_v seem_v possible_a to_o effect_v a_o separation_n but_o can_v these_o the_o apostle_n range_v into_o two_o class_n 1._o no_o kind_n or_o degree_n of_o suffering_n here_o he_o
