therefore_o a_o argument_n of_o most_o fervent_a love_n that_o paul_n doubt_v not_o to_o wish_v that_o condemnation_n to_o himself_o which_o he_o see_v to_o hang_v over_o the_o head_n of_o the_o jew_n that_o he_o may_v deliver_v they_o neither_o let_v it_o that_o he_o know_v his_o salvation_n be_v ground_v upon_o the_o election_n of_o god_n which_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n fall_v away_o for_o these_o
