to_o speak_v then_o so_o as_o they_o be_v therein_o under_o obedience_n for_o so_o we_o find_v the_o like_a phrase_n or_o manner_n of_o speech_n in_o other_o scripture_n and_o in_o other_o case_n

that_o all_o believer_n do_v so_o while_o they_o be_v here_o in_o this_o present_a world_n be_v evident_a enough_o in_o the_o same_o chapter_n verse_n 1._o 12._o 15-24_a 28._o and_o in_o other_o
