the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n the_o purpose_n of_o god_n be_v to_o bring_v they_o into_o a_o better_a state_n which_o the_o true_a church_n in_o the_o apostle_n day_n be_v witness_n of_o for_o the_o

12.3_o which_o child_n in_o understanding_n be_v subject_a to_o do_v but_o with_o these_o little_a child_n the_o apostle_n travel_v in_o birth_n that_o christ_n may_v be_v form_v in_o they_o gal._n
