be_v exclusive_a in_o respect_n of_o sinner_n but_o inclusive_a in_o respect_n of_o penitent_n not_o all_o sinner_n but_o all_o repent_a sinner_n shall_v be_v pardon_v be_v indefinite_a to_o

you_o may_v know_v whether_o a_o man_n be_v a_o friend_n or_o a_o malicious_a enemy_n who_o do_v revive_v the_o error_n and_o fail_n among_o man_n a_o friend_n he_o revive_v they_o that_o you_o may_v
