child_n of_o darkness_n for_o what_o communion_n have_v light_a with_o darkness_n in_o the_o beginning_n he_o make_v all_o thing_n good_a in_o the_o end_n he_o will_v destroy_v all_o thing_n that_o

say_v he_o will_v separate_v and_o divide_v one_o from_o the_o other_o that_o be_v the_o good_a from_o the_o bad_a the_o good_a he_o compare_v to_o sheep_n for_o their_o gentleness_n patience_n and_o
