which_o minister_v about_o holy_a thing_n live_v of_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o temple_n and_o they_o which_o wait_v at_o the_o altar_n be_v partaker_n with_o the_o altar_n even_o so_o have_v the_o

that_o you_o do_v communicate_v with_o my_o affliction_n now_o you_o phillippian_o know_v also_o that_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o gospel_n when_o i_o depart_v from_o macedonia_n no_o church_n

a_o odour_n of_o a_o sweet_a smell_n a_o sacrifice_n acceptable_a well_o please_v to_o god_n so_o here_o its_o plain_a also_o that_o the_o philippian_n do_v also_o communicate_v to_o his_o necessity_n
