great_a and_o though_o the_o thing_n be_v small_a put_v your_o faith_n to_o work_v in_o ordinary_a matter_n put_v your_o faith_n to_o work_v sometime_o you_o come_v to_o a_o great_a matter_n and_o

if_o your_o faith_n be_v not_o use_v to_o do_v small_a thing_n and_o therefore_o christian_n in_o all_o thing_n you_o do_v the_o life_n you_o live_v in_o the_o flesh_n put_v your_o faith_n to_o work_v
