you_o be_v save_v through_o faith_n and_o that_o not_o of_o yourselves_o it_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n not_o of_o work_n lest_o any_o man_n shall_v boast_v 2_o tim._n 1._o 9_o who_o have_v save_v

that_o be_v in_o jesus_n christ_n who_o god_n have_v set_v forth_o to_o be_v a_o propitiation_n through_o faith_n in_o his_o blood_n to_o declare_v his_o righteousness_n for_o the_o remission_n of_o

can_v be_v maintain_v by_o scripture_n the_o first_o enquiry_n must_v be_v whether_o any_o man_n can_v do_v more_o than_o he_o ought_v to_o do_v where_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v that_o though_o a_o man_n as_o a_o christian_a be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n yet_o he_o be_v not_o in_o the_o state_n of_o innocence_n nor_o can_v be_v till_o he_o arrive_v at_o the_o state_n of_o glory_n where_o all_o infirmity_n will_v be_v do_v away_o for_o as_o he_o be_v flesh_n and_o blood_n liable_a to_o be_v tempt_v to_o evil_a and_o apt_a to_o commit_v it_o he_o must_v expect_v to_o meet_v with_o

i_o think_v it_o a_o hard_a thing_n to_o say_v that_o it_o be_v in_o his_o power_n to_o do_v more_o good_a than_o be_v require_v he_o shall_v do_v and_o a_o hard_a to_o prove_v it_o under_o the_o
