by_o our_o believe_v that_o christ_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n bring_v off_o from_o the_o delight_n of_o this_o world_n we_o can_v be_v bear_v of_o god_n for_o it_o be_v such_o a_o belief_n in_o

that_o overcome_v the_o world_n even_o our_o faith_n what_o mean_v the_o apostle_n here_o in_o say_v that_o by_o faith_n they_o overcome_v the_o world_n he_o mean_v all_o the_o vain_a fleshly_a and_o
