after_o as_o believer_n receive_v the_o spirit_n so_o they_o become_v minister_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n as_o we_o see_v in_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o in_o the_o first_o 300._o

nothing_o of_o man_n or_o the_o creature_n can_v add_v to_o it_o wherefore_o when_o christ_n choose_v his_o minister_n according_a to_o his_o father_n council_n he_o choose_v not_o the_o wise_a and_o
