no longer as a slave, but above a slave, as a brother beloved, especially by me, but how much more by thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord?

But at the same time prepare me also a lodging: for I hope that through your prayers I shall be given unto you.

But to the Son, "Thy throne, O God, is unto eternity; a sceptre of rectitude is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

They will be destroyed, but thou remainest; and they all will grow old as a garment,

and as a cloak thou wilt wrap them up, and they will undergo a change: but thou art the same, and thy years will never end."

But one in a certain passage testifieth, saying, "What is man, that thou rememberest him, or a son of man, that thou regardest him?"

thou hast subjected all things under his feet." Now in subjecting all things to him, he left nothing unsubjected to him; but at present we see not yet all things subjected to him.

But we see Jesus for a little while made lower than angels, by the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour, that, by the grace of God, he might taste of death for every one.

For he verily took not on him the angelic nature, but assumed that of the seed of Abraham.

For every house is built by some person; but he who is the architect of all things is God.

but Christ as a son over his own house: whose house are we, if we hold firmly the confidence and glorying of hope stedfast unto the end.

but exhort one another daily, whilst to-day remains, that no one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

But against whom was he incensed forty years? Was it not against those who had sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness?

And to whom did he swear that they should not enter into his rest, but to those who did not believe?

For we are hearing the same gospel preached as they did; but the word heard did not profit them, not being incorporated by faith with those who heard it.

Even creation is not invisible before him, but all things are naked, and fully displayed before his eyes, to whom we must give our account.

For we have not an high-priest incapable of a fellow-feeling with our infirmities, but one tempted in all points, in exact resemblance with ourselves, sin excepted.

And no man assumes to himself this honour, but he who is called of God, even as Aaron was.

So Christ also did not himself assume the glory to become high-priest, but he [gave it] who spake to him, "Thou art my Son; I have this day begotten thee."

But solid nourishment is proper for grown men, even as many as by habit have their organs of perception exercised for the discernment both of good and evil.

but if it produceth thorns and thistles, it is abandoned, and near the curse [of barrenness], whose end will be for burning.

But, beloved, we are persuaded concerning you that things are better, and connected with salvation, though we thus speak.

But we earnestly desire that every one of you do manifest the same diligence, in order to obtain the full assurance of hope unto the end:

that ye be not slothful, but imitators of those who, by faith and long suffering, are inheriting the promises.

without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but in exact resemblance with the Son of God, abideth a priest for ever.

But he who derived not his genealogy from them, received tithes from Abraham, and blessed him who had the promises;

but without all dispute the inferior receives benediction from the superior.

And here indeed dying men receive the tithes, but there he hath a testimony borne to him that he liveth.

who was not made such by the law of a carnal commandment, but by the power of a life indissoluble.

For the law led to no perfection, but was an introduction to a better hope, by which we draw nigh unto God.

(for they indeed were made priests without an oath; but he with an oath, by him who said unto him, "The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:")

but this person, because he abideth for ever, hath a priesthood that passeth not over to another.

For the law constitutes men high-priests, though they have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which is since the law, constitutes the Son, unto eternity completely perfect.

But now hath Christ obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as he is the mediator of a better covenant, which hath been established on better promises.

But behind the second vail was the tabernacle, called the holy of holies:

but into the second once in every year entered the high-priest alone, not without blood, which he offered for his own inadvertencies, and for those of the people:

But Christ becoming the high-priest of future good things, through a better and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is, not of this creation;

nor by the blood of goats and of calves, but by his own blood, he entered once for all into the holies, having obtained eternal redemption.

There was a necessity therefore that the representations of the things in heaven should be purified by these; but the celestial things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

For Christ is not entered into the holies made with hands, the antitypes of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear before the presence of God for us:

(for in that case he must have suffered often since the foundation of the world:) but now once for all at the consummation of the ages hath he been manifested for the abolishing sin by the sacrifice of himself.

And forasmuch as it is appointed to men once to die, but after this the judgment,

But in these [sacrifices] there is a commemoration of sins every year.

Wherefore, coming into the world, he saith, "Sacrifice and oblation thou hast not chosen, but thou hast exactly fashioned a body for me:

but this person, having offered one sacrifice for sins, for ever hath seated himself at the right hand of God;

not deserting the assembling of ourselves together, as is the custom with some, but exhorting to it; and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

but a certain terrible expectation of judgment, and a burning indignation, ready to devour these enemies.

But remember the past days in which, after ye had been illuminated, ye endured a great conflict of sufferings;

But we are not of those who turn back unto perdition; but of those who believe to the salvation of the soul.

But without faith it is impossible to be acceptable; for he must believe, who cometh unto God, that he exists, and is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him.

All these died in faith, not having received the promises, but beholding them at a great distance, though believing and embracing them, and confessing that they were strangers and sojourners in the land.

But now their longing desires are after a better country, that is, the heavenly one: wherefore God is not ashamed of them to be called their God: for he hath prepared a city for them.

Women received by a resurrection their dead: but others were tortured, not accepting a release; that they might obtain a better resurrection:

For they indeed for a few days as seemed proper to themselves corrected us; but he for our own advantage, that we might be partakers of his holiness.

Now all correction at the moment seemeth not to be cause for joy, but for sorrow; but after a while it produceth peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have thereby been disciplined.

and make strait paths for your feet, that what is halting may not be turned out of the way; but that it may rather be healed.

for they could not bear the charge given, and "If but a beast touch the mountain he shall be stoned, or shot through with a dart:"

but ye are come unto mount Sion, and to the city of the living God, to the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels,

whose voice then shook the earth, but now he hath promised, saying, "Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also the heaven."

Marriage is honourable for all persons, and the marriage bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

For we have not here an abiding city, but we earnestly seek that which is to come.

But of beneficence, and liberal distribution, be not unmindful: for such sacrifices God accepts with delight.

Pray for us: for we have confidence that we maintain a good conscience, in all things desirous to conduct ourselves with propriety.??19 But I entreat you the rather to do this, that I may the more speedily be restored to you.

But I entreat you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation; for I have written to you in few words.

But let patience have its work perfected, that ye may be perfect and complete, deficient in nothing.

But if any man of you be deficient in wisdom, let him ask it of God, who giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not and it shall be given him.

But let him ask in faith, harbouring no doubt: for he who is doubtful is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind, and in constant agitation.

but the rich, in his abasement: for as the flower of grass he shall pass away.

but every person is tempted, when by his own peculiar passion he is born away, and ensnared.

But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves by false reasoning.

But he that looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and perseveres, this man not being a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, he shall be blessed in his practice.

If any man thinks he is a religious character among you, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.

but ye have put contempt on the poor man? Do not the rich men tyrannize over you? and they drag you to the tribunals.

but if ye have respect of persons, ye commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors.

For whosoever shall keep the whole law, but offendeth in a single particular, he is chargeable with the breach of all.

What is the advantage, my brethren, if a man profess to have faith, but hath not works; can faith save him?

But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

But was not Rahab the harlot in like manner justified by works, when she entertained the messengers, and sent them away by a different road?

but the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

But if ye have bitter envy and contention in your heart, boast not, and lie not against the truth.

This is not the wisdom which cometh from above, but is earthly, sensual, diabolical.

But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, meek, easily persuadable, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial, and void of dissimulation.

But the fruit of righteousness in peace is sown for those who are peacemakers.

Ye eagerly covet, yet have not: ye murder, and are envious, yet cannot obtain [your object]; ye wage war, but have not, because ye pray not.

But he giveth mightier grace. Wherefore he saith, "God sets himself against the proud, but giveth grace to the lowly."

Traduce not one another, brethren. He that traduceth his brother, and judgeth his brother, traduceth the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judgest the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but as judge.

though ye know nothing of what shall be to-morrow. For what is your life? It is but a vapour which appeareth for a little while, and then vanishes away.

But now ye glory in your proud boastings: all such glorying is wicked.

But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, nor by earth, nor by any other oath: but let your yea be yea, and your no, no; that ye fall not under condemnation.

To whom it was revealed, that not for themselves, but for us were their ministrations employed in the things which are now declared unto you by those who have preached the gospel unto you by the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; on which things the angels bending forwards eagerly desire to gaze.

but as he who hath called you is holy, be ye holy also in all your conduct:

but by the precious blood of Christ, as the unblemished and spotless lamb:

who was indeed predestined before the foundation of the world, but manifested in these last times for us,

born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the quickening word of God, and which abideth for ever.

but the word of the Lord abideth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

Whom approaching, as the living stone, rejected indeed of men, but elect of God, and honourable,

By you therefore who believe is he honoured: but respecting the disobedient, "the stone which the builders rejected, this very stone is become the head of the corner,

But ye are an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people acquired by purchase; that ye should publish abroad the excellencies of him, who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

who in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God; who had not obtained mercy, but are now the objects of mercy.

or to governors, as sent by him for the punishment of wicked doers, but the praise of those who do well.
