by_o nature_n we_o be_v all_o dead_a and_o this_o be_v the_o way_n of_o christ_n to_o quicken_v the_o soul_n so_o the_o soul_n be_v bring_v out_o from_o that_o sleep_n of_o death_n do_v begin_v to_o

thus_o christ_n be_v the_o way_n for_o the_o soul_n to_o have_v acceptance_n with_o the_o father_n if_o we_o obtain_v any_o thing_n of_o the_o father_n it_o must_v be_v in_o and_o by_o and_o through_o
