For he that loveth life and desireth to see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips, that they speak no guile:

But

But be ye doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves:

For if any man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.

This

But art thou willing to know, O empty man, that faith without works is dead?

But in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

By which also ye are saved, if ye retain what I preached to you, unless ye have believed in vain.

Have ye suffered so many things in vain?

General references
