true_a believer_n those_o that_o be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n have_v need_n to_o be_v further_o edify_v and_o build_v up_o second_o that_o true_a believer_n have_v need_n of_o the_o word_n

in_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n have_v need_n to_o be_v further_o edify_v and_o build_v up_o and_o this_o i_o prove_v to_o you_o first_o by_o those_o place_n of_o scripture_n that_o do_v enjoin_v the_o edification_n or_o build_v up_o of_o the_o saint_n as_o a_o duty_n so_o 1_o thess_n 5.11_o wherefore_o comfort_n yourselves_o together_o and_o edify_v one_o another_o second_o by_o those_o place_n that_o suppose_v it_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o saint_n as_o in_o 1_o thess_n 5.11_o edify_v one_o another_o as_o also_o you_o do_v so_o judas_n 20._o but_o you_o brethren_n build_v up_o

of_o this_o duty_n for_o his_o good_a to_o edification_n let_v every_o man_n please_v his_o neighbour_n for_o his_o good_a to_o edification_n it_o be_v not_o simple_o say_v let_v every_o man_n

you_o thus_o enjoin_v upon_o christian_n the_o care_n of_o edify_v one_o another_o will_v the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n make_v edification_n the_o end_n and_o scope_n of_o all_o church-ordinance_n

the_o reason_n why_o true_a believer_n those_o that_o be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o grace_n have_v yet_o further_o need_v to_o be_v build_v up_o and_o edify_v be_v first_o because_o god_n have_v
