that_o be_v needful_a for_o he_o in_o bond_n to_o preserve_v life_n and_o for_o other_o extraordinary_a charge_n it_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o epaphroditus_n as_o well_o open_v unto_o he_o the_o

with_o his_o own_o example_n he_o exhort_v they_o to_o be_v ready_a to_o endure_v all_o thing_n at_o length_n with_o a_o exhortation_n unto_o unity_n and_o patience_n he_o conclude_v the_o first_o

be_v this_o therefore_o be_v a_o excellent_a preparation_n unto_o teach_v if_o we_o do_v not_o please_v ourselves_o in_o our_o error_n therefore_o paul_n covert_o do_v show_v that_o we_o must_v give_v
