'Except' in the Bible

I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius,

For I decided to be concerned about nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

For who among men knows the things of a man except the man's spirit within him? So too, no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.

Do not deprive each other, except by mutual agreement for a specified time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then resume your relationship, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

So I want you to understand that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, "Jesus is cursed," and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit.
