make_v and_o accept_v righteous_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n but_o such_o work_n as_o may_v seem_v to_o have_v a_o outward_a righteousness_n in_o they_o second_o by_o the_o righteous_a man_n turn_v

of_o mat._n 9_o 13._o i_o come_v not_o to_o call_v the_o righteous_a but_o sinner_n to_o repentance_n wherefore_o if_o any_o such_o fall_n away_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o their_o righteousness_n
