covenant_n promise_n be_v make_v to_o abraham_n and_o his_o spiritual_a seed_n that_o be_v believer_n for_o they_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n and_o heir_n according_a to_o the_o promise_n

for_o those_o promise_n be_v make_v to_o christ_n namely_o to_o christ_n first_o and_o then_o to_o all_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n none_o can_v have_v a_o interest_n in_o they_o but_o as_o they_o be_v
