both_o our_o ability_n and_o our_o willingness_n to_o do_v good_a be_v from_o god_n look_v how_o the_o apostle_n speak_v 2_o cor._n 8._o say_v he_o there_o i_o will_v have_v you_o know_v the_o grace_n that_o be_v bestow_v on_o the_o church_n of_o macedonia_n the_o grace_n that_o be_v bestow_v on_o they_o what_o grace_n be_v that_o you_o may_v see_v in_o the_o two_o next_o verse_n nothing_o else_o

their_o power_n there_o be_v the_o grace_n that_o be_v bestow_v on_o they_o they_o be_v willing_a to_o do_v good_a so_o then_o have_v we_o ability_n to_o do_v good_a it_o be_v of_o grace_n have_v we_o

do_v good_a the_o inward_a affection_n of_o the_o heart_n and_o the_o outward_a act_n of_o the_o hand_n they_o shall_v not_o be_v part_v they_o shall_v go_v together_o not_o only_o the_o inward_a
