justification_n or_o righteousness_n can_v be_v by_o the_o law_n or_o by_o any_o law_n because_o man_n have_v sin_v and_o be_v now_o unable_a to_o answer_v the_o law_n of_o perfect_a obedience_n all_o have_v sin_v and_o come_v short_a of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n we_o must_v therefore_o now_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n through_o the_o redemption_n which_o be_v in_o jesus_n

in_o his_o sight_n for_o the_o law_n doubtless_o result_v not_o from_o god_n as_o a_o simple_a act_n of_o his_o sovereignty_n but_o also_o as_o a_o transcript_n of_o the_o holiness_n of_o his_o
