christ_n himself_o to_o look_v upon_o you_o as_o have_v a_o fullness_n of_o all_o strength_n in_o he_o and_o for_o christ_n to_o come_v and_o assist_v you_o as_o now_o a_o man_n that_o have_v a_o

you_o find_v such_o a_o work_n of_o god_n grace_n in_o you_o as_o may_v manifest_v the_o riches_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n power_n now_o christian_n do_v you_o work_v so_o as_o by_o your_o
