be_v most_o subject_a to_o tempt_v to_o pride_n and_o oppression_n and_o where_o we_o find_v he_o so_o frequent_a in_o give_v admonition_n to_o mutual_a love_n and_o particular_o so_o often_o give_v his_o apostle_n warn_v for_o love_a one_o another_o and_o so_o express_o forbid_v they_o to_o seek_v to_o exercise_v authority_n one_o over_o another_o as_o it_o can_v be_v construe_v as_o exclude_v

that_o s._n paul_n have_v be_v put_v to_o it_o by_o his_o stubborn_a corinthian_n do_v yet_o do_v it_o as_o in_o a_o mystery_n for_o fear_n of_o arrogate_a too_o much_o to_o himself_o and_o through_o
