with_o the_o ask_n of_o forgiveness_n of_o they_o for_o we_o be_v to_o ask_v forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n because_o god_n do_v command_v it_o and_o require_v it_o of_o us._n moreover_o it_o be_v

1._o apostle_n seem_v to_o declare_v a_o double_a faith_n but_o rather_o one_o faith_n which_o receive_v increase_v and_o perfection_n and_o therefore_o in_o pray_v for_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o
