the_o apostle_n paul_n speak_v not_o one_o word_n of_o tithe_n in_o all_o that_o chapter_n and_o can_v it_o be_v by_o any_o man_n conceive_v that_o the_o apostle_n there_o intend_v to_o command_v

have_v believe_v he_o but_o because_o he_o say_v no_o such_o thing_n therefore_o this_o man_n refer_v i_o to_o jerom_n and_o beza_n as_o if_o their_o testimony_n be_v sufficient_a to_o satisfy_v i_o where_o the_o scripture_n be_v silent_a the_o apostle_n in_o that_o place_n say_v only_o let_v he_o that_o be_v teach_v in_o the_o word_n communicate_v unto_o he_o that_o teach_v he_o in_o all_o
