will_v not_o only_o be_v a_o temple_n but_o a_o most_o glorious_a and_o beautiful_a temple_n now_o though_o this_o duty_n be_v common_a to_o all_o yet_o in_o more_o special_a sort_n it_o belong_v to_o

and_o then_o they_o shall_v be_v right_a onesimuss_n indeed_o and_o of_o unprofitable_a servant_n become_v profitable_a but_o here_o master_n also_o must_v learn_v another_o lesson_n that_o since_o

be_v make_v partaker_n of_o many_o of_o god_n blessing_n master_n must_v not_o be_v unprofitable_a to_o their_o profitable_a servant_n further_o we_o may_v observe_v out_o of_o this_o that_o s._n paul_n calling_n conversion_n work_n conscience_n in_o particular_a calling_n make_v onesimus_fw-la now_o convert_v a_o profitable_a servant_n that_o the_o fruit_n of_o true_a conversion_n do_v not_o
