'Instead' in the Bible

I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of the Messiah and, instead, are following a different gospel,

For I did not receive it or learn it from any human source; instead I received it by a revelation of Jesus Christ.

I did not go up to Jerusalem to those who had become apostles before me; instead I went to Arabia and came back to Damascus.

But the law is not based on faith; instead, the one who does these things will live by them.

Instead, he is under guardians and stewards until the time set by his father.

and though my physical condition put you to the test, you did not despise or reject me. Instead, you welcomed me as though I were an angel of God, as though I were Christ Jesus himself!

They are enthusiastic about you, but not for any good. Instead, they want to isolate you so you will be enthusiastic about them.

For both circumcision and uncircumcision mean nothing; what matters instead is a new creation.
