the_o apostle_n add_v if_o thou_o do_v that_o which_o be_v evil_a fear_n for_o he_o bear_v not_o the_o sword_n in_o vain_a for_o he_o be_v the_o minister_n of_o god_n a_o revenger_n to_o execute_v

at_o least_o not_o in_o this_o place_n urge_v he_o not_o to_o it_o 6._o yet_o the_o apostle_n goes-on_a for_o this_o cause_n also_o pay_v you_o tribute_n for_o they_o be_v god_n minister_n continual_o
