greater_n love_n than_o this_o have_v no_o man_n that_o he_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n for_o his_o friend_n it_o be_v one_o main_a demonstration_n of_o christ_n love_n to_o we_o that_o he_o have_v

for_o another_o and_o then_o i_o shall_v show_v how_o it_o be_v that_o christ_n lay_v down_o his_o life_n for_o we_o 1._o what_o be_v the_o import_n of_o this_o phrase_n what_o do_v it_o signify_v for_o a_o man_n to_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n for_o another_o great_a love_n than_o this_o have_v no_o man_n that_o he_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n if_o we_o will_v go_v about_o to_o translate_v it_o

that_o law_n that_o say_v the_o soul_n that_o sin_n shall_v die_v the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n that_o law_n be_v still_o in_o force_n against_o they_o and_o if_o they_o have_v not_o a_o
