to_o separate_v what_o s._n paul_n have_v join_v but_o i_o be_o of_o a_o contrary_a opinion_n that_o this_o only_a argument_n be_v sufficient_a to_o prove_v that_o s._n paul_n never_o speak_v these_o

the_o hearer_n of_o the_o law_n say_v s._n paul_n but_o the_o doer_n b._n of_o the_o law_n they_o shall_v be_v justify_v they_z therefore_o that_o do_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v command_v in_o the_o

be_v make_v just_a by_o work_n you_o therefore_o knit_v those_o thing_n together_o that_o can_v be_v join_v but_o i_o will_v stand_v in_o it_o and_o prove_v by_o this_o reason_n only_o if_o i_o have_v

be_v all_o so_o wellink_v within_o themselves_o the_o one_o depend_v of_o a_o other_o so_o apt_o they_o be_v knit_v together_o so_o fine_o the_o second_o come_v in_o upon_o the_o first_o the_o last_o
