question_v whether_o god_n love_v you_o or_o whether_o he_o be_v not_o a_o hard_a god_n and_o a_o hard_a master_n and_o doubt_n pardon_v your_o sin_n and_o so_o you_o can_v love_v god_n true_o and_o love_n god_n with_o strength_n if_o therefore_o you_o will_v love_v god_n with_o truth_n and_o strength_n believe_v in_o his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n that_o you_o may_v know_v your_o sin_n be_v

to_o believe_v in_o his_o son_n do_v exalt_v the_o free_a grace_n of_o god_n god_n have_v make_v all_o the_o promise_n to_o jesus_n christ_n and_o in_o christ_n they_o be_v all_o yea_o and_o amen_n
