but he with an oath, because of him who says to him, The Lord swore and will not change his mind, Thou are a priest into the age according to the order of Melchizedek.

Marriage is precious in every way, and the undefiled bed, but God will judge fornicators and adulterers.

For here we have no enduring city, but we seek that which is coming.

But become ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

There is one lawgiver who is able to save and to destroy, but thou, who are thou who judge the other man?

But now ye boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.
