godliness_n can_v be_v without_o justify_v faith_n but_o spring_v and_o arise_v from_o it_o as_o the_o branch_n from_o the_o tree_n 2.18_o for_o so_o saint_n james_n say_v show_v i_o thy_o faith_n by_o thy_o work_n therefore_o where_o no_o true_a justify_n faith_n be_v there_o can_v be_v no_o godly_a life_n and_o so_o he_o 2.3_o who_o be_v no_o true_a believer_n can_v have_v any_o sparkle_n of_o godliness_n in_o he_o but_o be_v utterlie_o destitute_a and_o void_a thereof_o even_o altogether_o ungodly_a as_o the_o apostle_n write_v we_o all_o have_v our_o conversation_n sometime_o as_o other_o disobedient_a man_n in_o the_o lust_n of_o our_o flesh_n do_v those_o thing_n which_o like_v we_o where_o we_o see_v that_o this_o be_v the_o life_n of_o all_o even_o the_o best_a to_o be_v

which_o like_v the_o lust_n of_o our_o heart_n yet_o we_o do_v not_o only_o so_o nor_o all_o that_o we_o do_v be_v not_o such_o but_o some_o good_a we_o do_v among_o the_o evil_n which_o we_o commit_v and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o they_o think_v that_o the_o one_o may_v answer_v for_o the_o other_o i_o further_o say_v to_o they_o out_o of_o the_o place_n to_o titus_n 1.15_o unto_o the_o pure_a be_v

without_o faith_n it_o be_v impossible_a to_o please_v god_n whatsoever_o thing_n we_o do_v but_o all_o be_v abominable_a odious_a and_o vile_a before_o he_o for_o as_o be_v the_o fountain_n so_o be_v
