though_o both_o may_v work_v in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n yet_o as_o the_o one_o be_v temporary_a and_o the_o other_o persever_v so_o this_o difference_n you_o shall_v find_v between_o common_a

no_o no_o brethren_n but_o exercise_v yourselves_o in_o all_o godliness_n 1_o tim._n 4.7_o but_o let_v it_o be_v godliness_n then_o let_v it_o not_o be_v righteousness_n only_o but_o godliness_n even_o such_o as_o spring_v ã€ˆâ€¦ã€‰_o from_o fellowship_n with_o god_n in_o jesus_n christ_n but_o when_o you_o have_v do_v all_o you_o can_v do_v not_o think_v that_o this_o will_v give_v you_o

the_o duty_n of_o it_o we_o know_v you_o not_o in_o point_n of_o mediation_n but_o jesus_n we_o know_v and_o his_o righteousness_n and_o mediation_n we_o know_v as_o for_o other_o thing_n bring_v

and_o to_o see_v maintain_v firm_a and_o full_a communion_n with_o jesus_n christ_n let_v the_o lord_n jesus_n only_o be_v their_o advocate_n and_o righteousness_n for_o it_o be_v he_o that_o work_v all_o our_o work_n for_o we_o and_o in_o special_a this_o main_a work_n of_o make_v and_o maintain_v peace_n for_o we_o if_o then_o we_o rest_v not_o on_o what_o we_o be_v or_o do_v but_o look_v

christ_n mediation_n if_o we_o look_v at_o they_o as_o cause_n of_o our_o mediation_n we_o do_v utter_o evacuate_v the_o mediation_n of_o jesus_n christ_n neither_o can_v we_o continue_v in_o that_o
