from_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n from_o sin_n and_o from_o death_n for_o christ_n sake_n so_o as_o touch_v the_o body_n they_o be_v servant_n and_o must_v serve_v one_o another_o according_a to_o

the_o one_o we_o may_v be_v justify_v and_o by_o the_o other_o be_v raise_v up_o in_o adversity_n and_o endure_v unto_o the_o end_n for_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o flesh_n we_o be_v sinner_n but_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o spirit_n we_o be_v righteous_a and_o so_o we_o be_v partly_o sinner_n and_o partly_o righteous_a but_o our_o righteousness_n if_o we_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o spirit_n be_v much_o more_o plentiful_a than_o our_o sin_n because_o the_o holiness_n and_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n our_o mediator_n do_v far_o exceed_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o

5.18_o if_o you_o be_v lead_v by_o the_o spirit_n you_o be_v not_o under_o the_o law_n but_o all_o worshipping_n and_o service_n of_o god_n and_o all_o religion_n without_o christ_n be_v idolatry_n

let_v all_o the_o godly_a glory_n and_o rejoice_v in_o the_o cross_n of_o christ_n jesus_n and_o not_o in_o the_o mouth_n of_o other_o man_n and_o if_o there_o be_v any_o that_o praise_v they_o let_v they_o receive_v this_o glory_n but_o as_o a_o shadow_n of_o true_a glory_n and_o let_v they_o think_v the_o substance_n of_o glory_n to_o be_v indeed_o the_o testimony_n of_o their_o own_o
