james_n indeed_o say_v that_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o work_n and_o not_o by_o faith_n only_o but_o that_o i_o may_v pass_v by_o the_o interpretation_n of_o some_o that_o will_v have_v this_o to_o

no_o mean_n separate_v work_n from_o faith_n but_o always_o profess_v that_o faith_n be_v to_o be_v join_v with_o good_a work_n or_o in_o short_a that_o a_o active_a and_o work_a faith_n render_v we_o
