the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n the_o purpose_n of_o god_n be_v to_o bring_v they_o into_o a_o better_a state_n which_o the_o true_a church_n in_o the_o apostle_n day_n be_v witness_n of_o for_o the_o apostle_n say_v heb._n 11.46_o god_n have_v provide_v some_o better_a thing_n for_o we_o that_o they_o without_o we_o can_v not_o be_v make_v perfect_a and_o although_o some_o of_o they_o have_v be_v

spirit_n of_o our_o god_n 1_o cor._n 6.10_o 11._o and_o so_o though_o they_o be_v sometime_o ignorant_a of_o god_n yet_o god_n cause_v the_o light_n to_o shine_v out_o of_o darkness_n in_o their_o heart_n to_o give_v they_o the_o light_n of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n glory_n in_o the_o face_n of_o christ_n who_o dwell_v in_o they_o 2_o cor._n 4.6_o gal._n 2.20_o so_o that_o both_o sin_n

if_o we_o say_v we_o have_v no_o sin_n we_o deceive_v ourselves_o and_o the_o truth_n be_v not_o in_o we_o 1_o john_n 1.8_o i_o answer_v he_o do_v not_o say_v so_o because_o people_n can_v not_o be_v

have_v not_o attain_v to_o that_o state_n he_o will_v not_o have_v they_o to_o deceive_v themselves_o nor_o to_o think_v more_o high_o of_o themselves_o than_o they_o ought_v to_o think_v rom._n 12.3_o which_o child_n in_o understanding_n be_v subject_a to_o do_v but_o with_o these_o little_a child_n the_o apostle_n travel_v in_o birth_n that_o christ_n may_v be_v form_v in_o they_o gal._n

then_o it_o may_v be_v some_o will_v object_v that_o the_o apostle_n speak_v not_o only_o of_o child_n but_o of_o himself_o also_o say_v if_o we_o say_v etc._n etc._n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o

that_o do_v curse_v man_n for_o its_o evident_a that_o the_o apostle_n become_v as_o weak_a to_o they_o that_o be_v weak_a and_o to_o the_o strong_a as_o strong_a and_o to_o they_o that_o be_v under_o

himself_o among_o they_o for_o the_o gain_n of_o they_o to_o a_o far_a state_n yet_o that_o do_v not_o at_o all_o argue_v that_o he_o be_v as_o they_o be_v for_o the_o apostle_n paul_n himself_o say_v
