upon_o this_o argument_n may_v seem_v to_o suffice_v because_o show_v lesser_a violence_n to_o be_v equal_o forbid_v with_o mortal_a one_o yet_o because_o when_o we_o discourse_v before_o concern_v

moment_n to_o be_v oppose_v to_o this_o argue_v and_o that_o be_v what_o follow_v in_o the_o 10._o verse_n love_n work_v no_o ill_a to_o his_o neighbour_n therefore_o love_n be_v the_o fulfil_n of_o

have_v more_o understand_v even_o not_o only_o that_o love_n work_v no_o ill_a but_o that_o it_o work_v all_o good_a to_o its_o neighbour_n which_o beside_o the_o usual_a form_n of_o speech_n in_o
