for_o christ._n for_o the_o better_a understanding_n of_o this_o the_o order_n that_o god_n use_v in_o show_v his_o love_n must_v be_v observe_v first_o of_o all_o he_o begin_v his_o love_n in_o

which_o paul_n desire_v that_o in_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n he_o may_v be_v thus_o respect_v hence_o we_o learn_v that_o god_n will_v make_v a_o examination_n of_o all_o our_o heart_n life_n
