have_v bear_v the_o punishment_n which_o be_v without_o end_n whereas_o therefore_o we_o pray_v that_o the_o lord_n will_v forgive_v we_o our_o debt_n we_o do_v not_o only_o desire_v that_o the_o

therefore_o that_o be_v forgive_v christ_n have_v satisfy_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n in_o bear_v the_o punishment_n therefore_o god_n do_v not_o punish_v they_o who_o sin_n he_o forgive_v in_o
