for_o true_a revelation_n always_o have_v some_o to_o add_v to_o it_o and_o some_o to_o take_v from_o it_o so_o that_o he_o that_o take_v from_o it_o god_n will_v take_v his_o part_n out_o of_o the_o

that_o be_v choose_v and_o send_v of_o god_n as_o moses_n and_o aaron_n peter_n and_o paul_n and_o we_o the_o witness_n of_o the_o spirit_n also_o none_o can_v interpret_v the_o scripture_n true_o but_o those_o that_o have_v the_o same_o spirit_n as_o those_o have_v that_o speak_v the_o scripture_n that_o spirit_n can_v trace_v the_o step_n of_o god_n almighty_n in_o those_o three_o path_n

when_o they_o have_v hear_v the_o interpretation_n of_o scripture_n with_o many_o deep_a secret_n open_v and_o many_o heavenly_a mystery_n reveal_v which_o never_o be_v reveal_v before_o or_o that_o

god_n yet_o they_o know_v not_o what_o it_o be_v to_o add_v or_o to_o take_v away_o from_o it_o therefore_o i_o have_v open_v these_o two_o verse_n in_o the_o last_o chapter_n and_o the_o last_o
