the_o lord_n what_o promise_v more_o invite_v and_o encourage_v than_o those_o he_o have_v give_v we_o which_o be_v exceed_o great_a and_o precious_a where_o if_o any_o one_o can_v let_v he_o tell_v

unprofitable_a word_n can_v escape_v be_v account_v for_o let_v we_o fulfil_v all_o these_o metaphor_n in_o call_v ourselves_o to_o account_v and_o when_o we_o have_v do_v that_o we_o have_v not_o
