you_o will_v not_o let_v he_o in_o if_o so_o how_o then_o can_v he_o exercise_v his_o office_n and_o how_o can_v you_o hear_v his_o voice_n when_o you_o harden_v your_o heart_n and_o like_o the_o deaf_a adder_n stop_v your_o ear_n and_o will_v not_o hearken_v to_o the_o voice_n of_o the_o charmer_n charm_v he_o never_o so_o wise_o and_o how_o can_v you_o see_v he_o when_o you_o close_v your_o

and_o there_o they_o corrupt_v and_o plead_v for_o their_o corruption_n for_o term_n of_o life_n whereas_o we_o can_v and_o do_v now_o hear_v his_o voice_n and_o obey_v it_o and_o so_o can_v love_v our_o enemy_n in_o obedience_n to_o christ_n command_n and_o love_v one_o another_o and_o we_o know_v the_o liar_n who_o say_v they_o love_v god_n and_o yet_o hate_v their_o brother_n he_o be_v a_o

hate_v his_o brother_n be_v a_o manslayer_n and_o we_o know_v that_o no_o manslayer_n have_v eternal_a life_n abide_v in_o he_o for_o as_o the_o same_o apostle_n say_v we_o know_v the_o message_n which_o we_o have_v hear_v from_o the_o beginning_n that_o we_o love_v one_o another_o not_o as_o cain_n who_o be_v of_o that_o wicked_a one_o and_o slay_v his_o brother_n and_o wherefore_o slay_v

be_v no_o wonderment_n to_o we_o that_o the_o world_n hate_v we_o for_o say_v christ_n the_o heavenly_a man_n it_o hate_v i_o first_o and_o this_o cain_n be_v the_o first_o persecutor_n about_o

since_o the_o world_n begin_v in_o the_o devil_n and_o old_a adam_n out_o of_o christ_n since_o i_o say_v the_o world_n begin_v whereas_o the_o election_n be_v in_o christ_n the_o seed_n of_o the_o

and_o this_o you_o may_v see_v in_o 1_o john_n 3.10_o in_o this_o the_o child_n of_o god_n be_v manifest_a from_o the_o child_n of_o the_o devil_n whosoever_o do_v not_o righteousness_n be_v not_o
