we_o be_v christ_n because_o we_o cost_v he_o dear_a he_o have_v pay_v a_o price_n for_o we_o that_o be_v worth_a more_o than_o the_o whole_a world_n now_o god_n show_v his_o love_n in_o nothing_o

when_o he_o die_v but_o he_o do_v not_o enter_v into_o possession_n of_o this_o lordship_n till_o he_o rise_v again_o therefore_o he_o say_v all_o power_n be_v give_v to_o i_o both_o in_o heaven_n

because_o till_o all_o enemy_n be_v full_o subdue_v by_o his_o death_n and_o witness_v to_o be_v subdue_v by_o his_o resurrection_n the_o spirit_n can_v not_o be_v so_o full_o give_v the_o spirit_n

may_v be_v a_o public_a person_n if_o christ_n have_v take_v the_o person_n of_o any_o body_n there_o have_v be_v two_o person_n of_o christ_n he_o have_v die_v in_o one_o person_n and_o not_o in_o

therefore_o in_o scripture_n it_o be_v put_v as_o a_o kind_n of_o limitation_n obey_v in_o the_o lord_n marry_v in_o the_o lord_n do_v all_o thing_n in_o the_o lord_n that_o be_v in_o christ_n he_o
