But Isaiah is bold, and says, I was found by those not seeking after me; and made manifest to those not inquiring after me.

But to Israel he says, All day long have I reached forth my hands to a gainsaying and disobedient people.

But what says the answer to him? I have left unto myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal.

What then? Israel did not attain that which he was seeking, but the election obtained it, and the rest were hardened:

Then I say; Whether did they stumble that they may fall? it could not be so: but by their fall, salvation came to the Gentiles, in order to provoke them to jealousy.

But if the fall of them was the riches of the world, and the depletion of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?

But I speak to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle of the Gentiles, I glorify my ministry:

For if the casting away of them was the reconciling of the world, what will their reception be, but life from the dead?

But if the first fruit was holy, the lump is also: if the root was holy, the branches are also.

boast not against the branches: but if you boast, you are not bearing the root, but the root you.

Beautifully; they were broken off by unbelief, but you stand by faith, Think not high things, but fear.

Then behold the goodness and severity of God: upon those who fell indeed, severity; but upon you the goodness of God, if you may abide in his goodness: since you too may be cut off.

But these also, if they may not abide in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.

They are enemies indeed, as touching the gospel, for your sakes: but beloved with reference to election for the sake of the fathers:

For as you at one time were disobedient to God, but now you have received mercy through their disobedience,

and he not fashioned after this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

For I speak, through the grace which has been given unto me, for every one who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, as God has imparted to each one the measure of faith.

For we indeed have many members in one body, but all the members have not the same office:

But having gifts differing according to the grace given unto us, whether prophecy, it is according to the analogy of faith;

Have the same mind toward one another, not thinking high things, but condescending to the humble. Be not wise in your own conceits.

avenging not yourselves, beloved, but give place to wrath; for it has been written, Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.

But if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink: for doing this you will heap coals of fire upon his head.

Be not overcome by the evil, but overcome the evil with the good.

For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Whether do you not wish to fear the authority? do the good, and you shall have praise from it:

for he is the minister of God for you for good. But if you do evil, fear; for he bears not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, executing judgment unto wrath unto the one doing evil.

Therefore it is necessary to submit, not only on account of wrath, but also on account of conscience.

Owe no man anything, but to love one another with divine love: for the one loving another with divine love has fulfilled the law.

but put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the lust of the flesh.

But receive to yourselves him who is weak in faith, not into disputations of doubtful matters.

Who art thou judging another man's servant? to his own master he stands or falls: but he shall stand; for God is able to make him stand.

But why do you judge your neighbor, or indeed why do you discount your brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment-seat of God.

Then let us no longer judge one another: but rather judge this, not to place before a brother an offence for a stumblingblock.

But if your brother is grieved on account of your meat, you are no longer walking in divine love. Do not by your meat destroy him for whom Christ died.

For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost.

Do not destroy the work of God on account of meat. All things are pure; but it is evil to the man who eats with offence:

but if he may eat doubting, he has been condemned, because it is not of faith; but every thing which is not of faith is sin.

But we who are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

for Christ did not please himself; but, as has been written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.

But may the God of patience and consolation grant unto you to think the same things among one another with reference to Christ Jesus.

But I am indeed persuaded, my brethren, concerning you, that you are also full of goodness, having been filled with all knowledge, being able also to admonish one another.

But I have written unto you more boldly in part, as reminding you, on account of the grace which has been given unto me from God,

but being so ambitious not to preach the gospel, where Christ has been named, in order that I may not build on another man's foundation;

but, as has been written, Those, to whom he has not been preached, shall see concerning him, and they who have not heard shall understand.

but now, no longer having a place in these regions, and having an earnest longing for many years to come to you,

as I may journey into Spain, for I hope traveling through to see you, and by you to be sent forth thither, if in the first place I may be satisfied with your company??25 but now I journey to Jerusalem, ministering to the saints.

but I know that coming unto you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.

But I exhort you, brethren, through our Lord Jesus Christ, and through the love of the Spirit, that you cooperate with me in your prayers to God in my behalf;

But I exhort you, brethren, to mark those who cause divisions and stumblings, contrary to the teaching which you have learned, and depart from them.

For such do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own stomach; and through fair speeches and eulogies deceive the hearts of the innocent.

but having now indeed been made manifest, through the prophetical scriptures, and having been made known to all the Gentiles, according to the commandment of the eternal God, unto the obedience of faith;

But I exhort you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you may all speak the same things, and that there may be no schisms among you; but you may be perfected in the same mind and in the same disposition.

But I baptized also the family of Stephanas: besides, I know not if I baptized any other.

For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with the wisdom of speech, in order that the cross of Christ may not be made of none effect.

For the word of the cross is foolishness indeed to those who are lost; but to those who are saved it is the power of God.

but we preach Christ having been crucified, to the Jews indeed a stumbling block, and to the Gentiles foolishness;

but to you who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

but God has chosen the foolish things of the world, that he may confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world, that he may confound the strong;

But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God was made unto us wisdom, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:

And my speech and my preaching were not in the persuasive words of wisdom, but in the demonstration of the Spirit and the power:

in order that your faith may not be in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

But we speak wisdom among the perfect: not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nought:

but we speak the wisdom of God having been hidden in a mystery, which God predestinated before the ages unto our glory:

But, as has been written, the things which eye has not seen, and ear has not heard, and has not entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.

But God has revealed them to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.

But we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God; in order that we may know the things which have been graciously given unto us from God.

Which things indeed we speak, not in the teachable words of human wisdom, but in the teachable words of the Spirit, expounding spiritual things to spiritual people.

But the intellectual man receives not the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness unto him; and he is not able to know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

But the spiritual man discerns all things, and is himself discerned by no one.

For who knows the mind of the Lord, who shall give him counsel? But we have the mind of Christ.

And I, brethren, was not able to speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even babes in Christ.

I have fed you with milk, not with meat; for you were not yet able. But ye are not now yet able:

Then what is Apollos? and what is Paul? But ministers through whom ye believed; even as the Lord gave to each one.

I planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

So neither is the one planting, nor the one watering anything, but God the one giving the increase.

But he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and each one shall receive his own reward according to his own labor.

But if any one builds upon the foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;

But if the work of any one shall be burnt up, he shall suffer loss; but himself shall be saved, but as through the fire.

But to me it is the smallest matter, that I may be judged by you, or by human day: but I do not judge myself.

For I know nothing against myself; but in this I am not justified; and the Lord is the one judging me.

But, brethren, I have transferred these things to myself and Apollos on your account: that you may learn among us not to be wise above what is written; in order that you may not be puffed up one in behalf of one against another.

For who judges you? and what have you which you did not receive. But if indeed you received it, why do you boast, as not having received it?

We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; you are glorious, but we are dishonorable.

I do not write these things shaming you, but admonishing you as my beloved children.

For if you have ten thousand instructors in Christ, but you have not many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.

But some were inflated, as if I was not coming unto you.

But I will come to you quickly, if the Lord may will; and I will know not the word of those who have been puffed up, but the power.

For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.

For indeed I, being absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged the one having thus done this, as being present,

So let us feast, not on the old leaven, nor on the leaven of sin and iniquity, but on the unleavened bread of purity and truth.

For why is it for me to judge the outsiders? Do you not judge those within? But God will judge those without.

But does brother go to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers?

But you inflict injustice, and defraud, and that your brethren.

And such were some of you: but you have washed, but you have been sanctified, but you have been justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and by the Spirit of our God.

All things are lawful to me, but all things are not profitable: all things are lawful, but I will not be brought under the power of any.

Meats for the stomach, and the stomach for meats: but God will destroy both this and them. The body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body:

but God both raised up the Lord, and will raise you up through his power.

But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit.

But concerning those things about which you wrote to me: That it is good for a man not to receive a wife:

but on account of fornication, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.

The wife has not the authority over her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband has not the authority over his own body, but the wife.
