not_o say_v he_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n commit_v sin_n but_z he_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n do_v not_o commit_v sin_n and_o so_o thou_o be_v a_o false_a accuser_n of_o the_o belove_a disciple_n of_o christ_n jesus_n who_o say_v 1_o john_n 1.5_o this_o be_v the_o message_n we_o have_v hear_v and_o declare_v unto_o you_o that_o god_n be_v light_a and_o in_o he_o be_v no_o darkness_n at_o all_o if_o we_o say_v we_o have_v fellowship_n with_o he_o and_o walk_v in_o darkness_n we_o lie_v and_o do_v not_o the_o truth_n but_o if_o we_o walk_v in_o the_o light_n as_o he_o be_v in_o the_o light_n we_o have_v from_o fellowship_n one_o with_o another_o and_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n his_o son_n cleanse_v we_o from_o all_o sin_n but_o if_o we_o say_v we_o have_v no_o

encourage_v to_o walk_v in_o the_o light_n that_o they_o may_v know_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n to_o cleanse_v they_o from_o their_o sin_n and_o so_o he_o that_o have_v this_o hope_n purify_v himself_o as_o he_o be_v pure_a 1_o john_n 3.3_o and_o so_o we_o have_v testimony_n unto_o the_o power_n of_o christ_n jesus_n who_o destroy_v the_o devil_n and_o his_o work_n and_o bring_v in_o everlasting_a righteousness_n and_o make_v a_o end_n of_o sin_n and_o so_o we_o can_v plead_v for_o the_o devil_n kingdom_n of_o sin_n and_o darkness_n like_o s._n b._n till_o he_o be_v dead_a but_o let_v samson_n bond_n plead_v for_o sin_n till_o his_o tongue_n cleave_v to_o the_o roof_n of_o his_o mouth_n yet_o god_n will_v establish_v righteousness_n in_o the_o earth_n and_o in_o thy_o 82_o
