this_o text_n manage_v with_o faith_n will_v fright_v the_o devil_n more_o than_o he_o can_v fright_v you_o this_o text_n be_v in_o this_o case_n like_o goliahs_n sword_n none_o like_o it_o take_v god_n word_n for_o it_o will_v wound_v he_o and_o make_v he_o run_v too_o by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n well_o thus_o resist_v the_o devil_n fear_v he_o not_o he_o be_v a_o conquer_a enemy_n christ_n have_v destroy_v he_o that_o have_v the_o power_n of_o death_n say_v the_o apostle_n and_o therefore_o i_o desire_v you_o to_o resist_v he_o for_o two_o reason_n first_o because_o your_o captain_n have_v do_v it_o it_o be_v fit_a for_o soldier_n to_o fight_v against_o such_o as_o their_o general_n charges_n it_o be_v not_o fit_a for_o you_o to_o yield_v to_o the_o devil_n temptation_n to_o fear_v death_n when_o as_o christ_n the_o captain_n of_o your_o salvation_n have_v overcome_v he_o as_o his_o and_o your_o enemy_n destroy_v he_o that_o have_v the_o power_n of_o death_n this_o be_v to_o raise_v arm_n with_o the_o devil_n and_o to_o strengthen_v he_o against_o christ_n and_o your_o own_o life_n too_o but_o second_o i_o advise_v this_o because_o it_o be_v the_o way_n of_o christ_n his_o method_n of_o rid_v his_o child_n from_o fear_n he_o first_o destroy_v he_o that_o have_v the_o power_n of_o death_n that_o be_v the_o devil_n and_o all_o this_o that_o he_o may_v deliver_v his_o people_n from_o fear_n of_o die_v so_o do_v you_o follow_v christ_n method_n of_o war_n will_v you_o be_v deliver_v indeed_o by_o christ_n from_o the_o bondage_n fear_v of_o death_n then_o do_v as_o christ_n resist_v he_o that_o have_v the_o power_n of_o death_n the_o promise_v you_o know_v encourage_v this_o stoutness_n resist_v the_o devil_n and_o he_o will_v flee_v from_o you_o which_o when_o he_o do_v your_o fear_n of_o death_n will_v flee_v after_o he_o because_o it_o be_v he_o only_o that_o have_v this_o power_n of_o death_n as_o one_o say_v timor_fw-la
