(but if one does not know how to conduct his own house, how shall he take care of the assembly of God?)

But it is necessary that he should have also a good testimony from those without, that he may fall not into reproach and the snare of the devil.

but if I delay, in order that thou mayest know how one ought to conduct oneself in God's house, which is the assembly of the living God, the pillar and base of the truth.

But the Spirit speaks expressly, that in latter times some shall apostatise from the faith, giving their mind to deceiving spirits and teachings of demons

But profane and old wives' fables avoid, but exercise thyself unto piety;

for bodily exercise is profitable for a little, but piety is profitable for everything, having promise of life, of the present one, and of that to come.

Let no one despise thy youth, but be a model of the believers, in word, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.

Rebuke not an elder sharply, but exhort him as a father, younger men as brethren,

but if any widow have children or descendants, let them learn first to be pious as regards their own house, and to render a return on their side to their parents; for this is acceptable in the sight of God.

But she that lives in habits of self-indulgence is dead while living.

But if any one does not provide for his own, and specially for those of his house, he has denied the faith, and is worse than the unbeliever.

But younger widows decline; for when they grow wanton against Christ, they desire to marry,

And, at the same time, they learn also to be idle, going about to people's houses; and not only idle, but also gossipers and meddlers, speaking things not becoming.

Drink no longer only water, but use a little wine on account of thy stomach and thy frequent illnesses.

And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them because they are brethren; but let them the rather serve them with subjection, because they are faithful and beloved, who profit by the good and ready service rendered. These things teach and exhort.

he is puffed up, knowing nothing, but sick about questions and disputes of words, out of which arise envy, strife, injurious words, evil suspicions,

But piety with contentment is great gain.

But having sustenance and covering, we will be content with these.

But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and many unwise and hurtful lusts, which plunge men into destruction and ruin.

But thou, O man of God, flee these things, and pursue righteousness, piety, faith, love, endurance, meekness of spirit.

Enjoin on those rich in the present age not to be high-minded, nor to trust on the uncertainty of riches; but in the God who affords us all things richly for our enjoyment;

For God has not given us a spirit of cowardice, but of power, and of love, and of wise discretion.

Be not therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but suffer evil along with the glad tidings, according to the power of God;

who has saved us, and has called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before the ages of time,

but has been made manifest now by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who has annulled death, and brought to light life and incorruptibility by the glad tidings;

For which cause also I suffer these things; but I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep for that day the deposit I have entrusted to him.

but being in Rome sought me out very diligently, and found me --

in which I suffer even unto bonds as an evil-doer: but the word of God is not bound.

But profane, vain babblings shun, for they will advance to greater impiety,

But in a great house there are not only gold and silver vessels, but also wooden and earthen; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.

But youthful lusts flee, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those that call upon the Lord out of a pure heart.

But foolish and senseless questionings avoid, knowing that they beget contentions.

And a bondman of the Lord ought not to contend, but be gentle towards all; apt to teach; forbearing;

But this know, that in the last days difficult times shall be there;

having a form of piety but denying the power of it: and from these turn away.

But they shall not advance farther; for their folly shall be completely manifest to all, as that of those also became.

But thou hast been thoroughly acquainted with my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, endurance,

But wicked men and juggling impostors shall advance in evil, leading and being led astray.

But thou, abide in those things which thou hast learned, and of which thou hast been fully persuaded, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;

For the time shall be when they will not bear sound teaching; but according to their own lusts will heap up to themselves teachers, having an itching ear;

But thou, be sober in all things, bear evils, do the work of an evangelist, fill up the full measure of thy ministry.

Henceforth the crown of righteousness is laid up for me, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will render to me in that day; but not only to me, but also to all who love his appearing.

But Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus.

At my first defence no man stood with me, but all deserted me. May it not be imputed to them.

But the Lord stood with me, and gave me power, that through me the proclamation might be fully made, and all those of the nations should hear; and I was delivered out of the lion's mouth.

Erastus remained in Corinth, but Trophimus I left behind in Miletus sick.

but has manifested in its own due season his word, in the proclamation with which I have been entrusted, according to the commandment of our Saviour God;

but hospitable, a lover of goodness, discreet, just, pious, temperate,

All things are pure to the pure; but to the defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.

They profess to know God, but in works deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and found worthless as to every good work.

But do thou speak the things that become sound teaching;

not robbing their masters, but shewing all good fidelity, that they may adorn the teaching which is of our Saviour God in all things.

But when the kindness and love to man of our Saviour God appeared,

not on the principle of works which have been done in righteousness which we had done, but according to his own mercy he saved us through the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit,

But foolish questions, and genealogies, and strifes, and contentions about the law, shun; for they are unprofitable and vain.

once unserviceable to thee, but now serviceable to thee and to me:

whom I have sent back to thee: but do thou receive him, that is, my bowels:

but I have wished to do nothing without thy mind, that thy good might not be as of necessity but of willingness:

not any longer as a bondman, but above a bondman, a beloved brother, specially to me, and how much rather to thee, both in the flesh and in the Lord?

but if he have wronged thee anything or owe anything to thee, put this to my account.

But withal prepare me also a lodging; for I hope that I shall be granted to you through your prayers.

but as to the Son, Thy throne, O God, is to the age of the age, and a sceptre of uprightness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

They shall perish, but thou continuest still; and they all shall grow old as a garment,

and as a covering shalt thou roll them up, and they shall be changed; but thou art the Same, and thy years shall not fail.

But as to which of the angels said he ever, Sit at my right hand until I put thine enemies as footstool of thy feet?

but one has testified somewhere, saying, What is man, that thou rememberest him, or son of man that thou visitest him?

thou hast subjected all things under his feet. For in subjecting all things to him, he has left nothing unsubject to him. But now we see not yet all things subjected to him,

but we see Jesus, who was made some little inferior to angels on account of the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; so that by the grace of God he should taste death for every thing.

For he does not indeed take hold of angels by the hand, but he takes hold of the seed of Abraham.

For every house is built by some one; but he who has built all things is God.

but Christ, as Son over his house, whose house are we, if indeed we hold fast the boldness and the boast of hope firm to the end.

But encourage yourselves each day, as long as it is called To-day, that none of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

(for who was it, who, having heard, provoked? but was it not all who came out of Egypt by Moses?

And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to those who had not hearkened to the word?

For indeed we have had glad tidings presented to us, even as they also; but the word of the report did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard.

And there is not a creature unapparent before him; but all things are naked and laid bare to his eyes, with whom we have to do.

For we have not a high priest not able to sympathise with our infirmities, but tempted in all things in like manner, sin apart.

And no one takes the honour to himself but as called by God, even as Aaron also.

Thus the Christ also has not glorified himself to be made a high priest; but he who had said to him, Thou art my Son, I have to-day begotten thee.

but solid food belongs to full-grown men, who, on account of habit, have their senses exercised for distinguishing both good and evil.

but bringing forth thorns and briars, it is found worthless and nigh to a curse, whose end is to be burned.

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

But we desire earnestly that each one of you shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end;

that ye be not sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience have been inheritors of the promises.

without father, without mother, without genealogy; having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but assimilated to the Son of God, abides a priest continually.

but he who has no genealogy from them has tithed Abraham, and blessed him who had the promises.

But beyond all gainsaying, the inferior is blessed by the better.

And here dying men receive tithes; but there one of whom the witness is that he lives;

who has been constituted not according to law of fleshly commandment, but according to power of indissoluble life.

(for they are become priests without the swearing of an oath, but he with the swearing of an oath, by him who said, as to him, The Lord has sworn, and will not repent of it, Thou art priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedec;)

but he, because of his continuing for ever, has the priesthood unchangeable.

For the law constitutes men high priests, having infirmity; but the word of the swearing of the oath which is after the law, a Son perfected for ever.

But now he has got a more excellent ministry, by so much as he is mediator of a better covenant, which is established on the footing of better promises.

In that he says New, he has made the first old; but that which grows old and aged is near disappearing.

but after the second veil a tabernacle which is called Holy of holies,

but into the second, the high priest only, once a year, not without blood, which he offers for himself and for the errors of the people:

But Christ being come high priest of the good things to come, by the better and more perfect tabernacle not made with hand, (that is, not of this creation,)

nor by blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood, has entered in once for all into the holy of holies, having found an eternal redemption.

It was necessary then that the figurative representations of the things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with sacrifices better than these.

For the Christ is not entered into holy places made with hand, figures of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear before the face of God for us:
