you_o be_v save_v through_o faith_n and_o that_o not_o of_o yourselves_o it_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n not_o of_o work_n lest_o any_o man_n shall_v boast_v 2_o tim._n 1._o 9_o who_o have_v save_v

that_o be_v in_o jesus_n christ_n who_o god_n have_v set_v forth_o to_o be_v a_o propitiation_n through_o faith_n in_o his_o blood_n to_o declare_v his_o righteousness_n for_o the_o remission_n of_o

of_o all_o this_o and_o then_o how_o heinous_a a_o thing_n that_o be_v which_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o so_o much_o displeasure_n in_o god_n i_o submit_v to_o any_o person_n to_o judge_n you_o will_v
