before_o the_o end_n of_o their_o life_n they_o persevere_v in_o it_o even_o to_o the_o end_n without_o repentance_n but_o in_o the_o minor_a it_o signify_v not_o a_o certain_a kind_n of_o sin_n but_o all_o their_o sin_n who_o repent_v not_o which_o indeed_o be_v not_o remit_v to_o they_o because_o they_o persevere_v in_o they_o to_o the_o end_n without_o repentance_n and_o they_o be_v
