out_o of_o which_o there_o be_v redemption_n than_o the_o faith_n stand_v in_o the_o power_n and_o the_o eye_n look_v unto_o christ_n by_o faith_n he_o appear_v to_o save_v from_o the_o sin_n which_o

by_o the_o power_n for_o as_o redemption_n draw_v out_o of_o the_o sin_n so_o do_v salvation_n save_v from_o the_o sin_n and_o yet_o the_o same_o power_n for_o it_o be_v not_o one_o thing_n that_o
