that_o be_v count_v to_o we_o for_o righteousness_n and_o why_o to_o faith_n only_o because_o that_o grace_n only_o carry_v we_o out_o of_o ourselves_o to_o another_o for_o righteousness_n i._n e._n

to_o it_o thus_o it_o include_v and_o not_o exclude_v work_n and_o that_o faith_n and_o work_n or_o obedience_n to_o the_o gospel_n be_v our_o righteousness_n for_o which_o we_o be_v justify_v and_o

own_o faith_n to_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n or_o a_o grace_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n but_o that_o which_o the_o creature_n have_v power_n when_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v to_o act_v by_o
