gentile_n be_v not_o enlighten_v answ._n then_o by_o what_o shall_v those_o gentile_n be_v condemn_v who_o be_v not_o enlighten_v see_v that_o christ_n be_v give_v for_o a_o light_n to_o the_o

than_o the_o apostle_n preach_v which_o whosoever_o do_v be_v accurse_v pr._n that_o david_n when_o he_o be_v guilty_a of_o adultery_n and_o murder_n be_v not_o in_o a_o condemn_a state_n but_o in_o a_o justify_a state_n answ._n here_o he_o will_v make_v god_n a_o justifier_n of_o the_o wicked_a in_o his_o wickedness_n but_o in_o that_o state_n david_n be_v condemn_v of_o the_o lord_n and_o

to_o be_v that_o which_o they_o be_v not_o and_o to_o be_v in_o christ_n when_o they_o be_v in_o sin_n in_o the_o devil_n work_n pr._n and_o concerning_o they_o in_o heb._n 12._o who_o be_v come_v
