15.9_o i_o have_v show_v you_o already_o that_o depart_n from_o iniquity_n must_v be_v with_o the_o mind_n and_o affection_n or_o with_o the_o heart_n but_o how_o can_v that_o be_v where_o the_o

the_o name_n of_o christ_n without_o have_v holy_a faith_n in_o he_o they_o still_o abide_v by_o their_o iniquity_n they_o depart_v not_o from_o their_o iniquity_n but_o rather_o make_v of_o their_o

these_o thing_n can_v be_v apprehend_v and_o therefore_o those_o that_o want_v it_o whatever_o their_o profession_n be_v they_o will_v not_o depart_v from_o iniquity_n second_o repentance_n be_v
