so_o you_o can_v with_o charity_n knowledge_n puff_v up_o but_o charity_n edifi_v the_o word_n but_o signify_v a_o difference_n between_o charity_n and_o knowledge_n because_o the_o conjunction_n be_v

edifi_v among_o the_o virtue_n theological_a and_o moral_a but_o knowledge_n without_o charity_n be_v a_o matter_n of_o vanity_n because_o it_o puff_v up_o it_o be_v like_o a_o bladder_n or_o bubble_n
