you_o and_o by_o his_o blood_n you_o be_v justify_v and_o by_o his_o impute_a righteousness_n you_o be_v accept_v now_o consider_v the_o ground_n of_o your_o faith_n who_o be_v the_o author_n of_o

before_o god_n who_o be_v righteous_a and_o this_o be_v a_o truth_n shall_v stand_v for_o ever_o and_o they_o go_v on_o too_o fast_o that_o will_v be_v justify_v before_o they_o submit_v to_o
