will_v grammatical_o bear_v it_o for_o the_o word_n may_v be_v thus_o render_v that_o be_v the_o true_a god_n and_o so_o the_o antecedent_n to_o the_o relative_n be_v not_o the_o person_n immediate_o

the_o true_a god_n and_o therefore_o be_v it_o the_o more_o questionable_a whether_o he_o be_v so_o call_v here_o the_o place_n be_v somewhat_o doubtful_a and_o ambiguous_a 3._o because_o the_o father_n be_v call_v the_o true_a god_n distinct_a from_o the_o son_n 1_o thess_n 1.9_o 10._o for_o they_o themselves_o show_v of_o we_o what_o manner_n of_o enter_v in_o we_o have_v unto_o you_o and_o how_o you_o turn_v to_o god_n from_o idol_n to_o serve_v the_o live_n and_o true_a god_n and_o to_o wait_v for_o his_o son_n from_o heaven_n who_o he_o raise_v from_o the_o dead_a even_o jesus_n which_o deliver_v we_o from_o the_o wrath_n to_o come_v it_o be_v evident_a from_o this_o text_n that_o the_o father_n distinct_a from_o the_o son_n be_v call_v the_o live_n and_o true_a god_n and_o therefore_o be_v it_o probable_a that_o in_o the_o text_n under_o examination_n the_o father_n only_o be_v intend_v in_o this_o expression_n this_o be_v the_o true_a god_n 4._o because_o the_o father_n be_v call_v the_o only_a true_a god_n john_n 17.3_o and_o this_o be_v life_n eternal_a that_o they_o may_v know_v thou_o the_o only_a true_a god_n and_o who_o thou_o have_v send_v jesus_n christ_n here_o the_o father_n be_v call_v the_o only_a true_a god_n and_o so_o the_o son_n be_v exclude_v from_o be_v the_o true_a god_n and_o therefore_o of_o necessity_n in_o 1_o john_n 5.20_o the_o father_n only_o be_v intend_v the_o text_n which_o come_v next_o to_o be_v scan_v 6._o jer._n 23_o 6._o be_v jer._n 23.6_o and_o this_o be_v his_o name_n whereby_o he_o shall_v be_v call_v the_o

that_o it_o be_v a_o probable_a conjecture_n that_o our_o english_a translator_n see_v not_o this_o mystery_n wrap_v up_o in_o the_o name_n jehovah_n in_o that_o they_o do_v not_o here_o follow_v their_o usual_a custom_n in_o give_v the_o hebrew_n name_n for_o they_o read_v not_o jehovah_n but_o the_o lord_n our_o righteousness_n yea_o that_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o use_n where_o unto_o the_o name_n jehovah_n be_v put_v by_o you_o and_o other_o for_o though_o we_o have_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n hebrew_n name_n yet_o jehovah_n appear_v not_o there_o

greek_a language_n but_o to_o i_o this_o seem_v not_o true_a for_o there_o be_v no_o letter_n in_o jehovah_n which_o the_o greek_n want_n but_o may_v be_v find_v in_o other_o name_n which_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v render_v in_o imitation_n of_o the_o hebrew_n as_o jacob_n abraham_n david_n and_o it_o can_v but_o seem_v strange_a that_o that_o name_n which_o can_v as_o you_o say_v be_v express_v in_o the_o greek_a language_n by_o which_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n be_v publish_v to_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o world_n shall_v be_v a_o foundation_n for_o that_o which_o you_o call_v a_o truth_n fundamental_a second_o that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o undeniable_a consequent_a that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o most_o high_a god_n because_o call_v jehovah_n for_o although_o
