you_o will_v have_v pull_v out_o your_o own_o eye_n and_o have_v give_v they_o i_o be_o i_o become_v your_o enemy_n because_o i_o tell_v you_o the_o truth_n because_o i_o preach_v the_o gospel_n to_o you_o all_o the_o truth_n of_o christ_n more_o especial_o that_o fundamental_a truth_n that_o we_o be_v not_o justify_v by_o the_o law_n as_o you_o think_v and_o your_o false_a teacher_n suggest_v but_o by_o faith_n in_o christ._n i_o will_v be_v loath_a to_o be_v account_v your_o enemy_n upon_o any_o account_n but_o most_o of_o all_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o truth_n you_o shall_v honour_v i_o for_o the_o truth_n esteem_v i_o for_o my_o work_n sake_n not_o hate_v i_o look_v upon_o i_o as_o your_o enemy_n be_o i_o therefore_o become_v your_o enemy_n because_o i_o tell_v you_o the_o
