But strong food belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh to cursing; whose end is to be burned.

But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.

That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like to the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.

But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes from Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.

And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is testified that he liveth.

Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.

For the law made nothing perfect, but the introduction of a better hope did; by which we draw nigh to God.

(For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath, by him that said to him, The Lord swore, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)

But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.

For the law maketh men high priests who have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was after the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.

But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.

But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people:

But Christ being come a high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;

Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood; he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

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

For Christ hath not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:

For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

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

But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.

Wherefore, when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldst not, but a body hast thou prepared me:

But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins, for ever sat down on the right hand of God;

Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

But a certain fearful apprehension of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions;

Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man shall draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.

But we are not of them who draw back to perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

But now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for he hath prepared for them a city.

But if ye are without chastisement, of which all are partakers, then are ye bastards and not sons.

For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.

Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless, afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness to them who are exercised by it.

And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.

But ye are come to mount Sion, and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company 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 heaven.

Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled: but lewd persons and adulterers God will judge.

For here we have no continuing city, but we seek one to come.

But to do good, and to communicate, forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

But I beseech you the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.

But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.

For the sun hath no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and its flower falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.

But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.

But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

But he who looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth in it, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

If any man among you seemeth to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.

But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment-seats?

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

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

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

But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.

This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, demoniacal.

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble.

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

But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.

But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea, be yea: and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.

To whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to us they ministered the things which are now reported to you by them that have preached the gospel to you, with the Holy Spirit sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.

But as he who hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of deportment.

But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

Who verily was fore-ordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifested in these last times for you,

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

But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached to you.

To whom coming as to a living stone, disallowed indeed by men, but chosen by God, and precious,

To you therefore who believe he is precious: but to them who are disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,

But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:

Who in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.

Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.

For what glory is it, if, when ye are buffeted for your faults, ye bear it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye bear it patiently, this is acceptable with God.

Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:

For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned to the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.

Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but on the contrary, blessing; knowing that ye are called to this, that ye should inherit a blessing.

For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.

But if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;

But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear.

For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but made alive by the Spirit:

The like figure to which, even baptism, doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience towards God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:

That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.

For, for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.

But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch to prayer.

But rejoice, seeing ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

If ye are reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you. On their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.

But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evil-doer, or as a busy-body in other men's matters.

Yet if any man suffereth as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.

Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight of it, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but from a ready mind;

Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being examples to the flock.

But the God of all grace, who hath called us to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you.

But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purified from his old sins.

For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eye-witnesses of his majesty.

For prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.

But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will privately bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved to judgment;

And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing the flood upon the world of the ungodly;

But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, self-willed; they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.

But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption:
