first_o make_v bold_a to_o press_v thou_o to_o a_o revew_n of_o the_o text_n i_o say_v unto_o you_o except_o your_o righteousness_n exceed_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n you_o can_v in_o no_o case_n enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n this_o verse_n be_v a_o part_n of_o that_o bible_n that_o thou_o and_o i_o and_o all_o the_o christian_a world_n do_v take_v

that_o he_o have_v not_o reveal_v that_o be_v in_o plain_a english_a thus_o thou_o hope_v that_o god_n have_v tell_v thou_o by_o jesus_n christ_n that_o except_o thou_o be_v more_o righteous_a than_o the_o pharisee_n thou_o can_v not_o be_v save_v yet_o he_o intend_v the_o quite_o contrary_a and_o will_v save_v thou_o and_o other_o though_o thou_o live_v more_o wicked_o than_o ever_o the_o

the_o son_n to_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n the_o father_n and_o if_o thou_o shall_v i_o tell_v thou_o he_o will_v send_v thou_o back_o again_o unto_o christ_n his_o son_n and_o with_o all_o acquaint_v
