that_o he_o have_v prove_v all_o to_o be_v under_o sin_n hinder_v not_o but_o that_o some_o jew_n be_v justify_v neither_o do_v they_o hinder_v but_o that_o some_o gentile_n be_v justify_v also_o 3._o

save_o believe_v the_o gospel_n no_o other_o way_n but_o as_o hold_v forth_o unto_o i_o by_o immediate_a revelation_n so_o by_o this_o immediate_a revelation_n it_o be_v not_o any_o singular_a or_o
