But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and guard you from the evil [one].

neither did we eat bread for nought at any man’s hand, but in labour and travail, working night and day, that we might not burden any of you:

not because we have not the right, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you, that ye should imitate us.

For we hear of some that walk among you disorderly, that work not at all, but are busybodies.

But ye, brethren, be not weary in well–doing.

And [yet] count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

But the end of the charge is love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and faith unfeigned:

But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully,

as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and unruly, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

but (which becometh women professing godliness) through good works.

But I permit not a woman to teach, nor to have dominion over a man, but to be in quietness.

and Adam was not beguiled, but the woman being beguiled hath fallen into transgression:

but she shall be saved through the childbearing, if they continue in faith and love and sanctification with sobriety.

no brawler, no striker; but gentle, not contentious, no lover of money;

(but if a man knoweth not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)

but if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how men ought to behave themselves in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.

But the Spirit saith expressly, that in later times some shall fall away from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils,

but refuse profane and old wives’ fables. And exercise thyself unto godliness:

for bodily exercise is profitable for a little; but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life which now is, and of that which is to come.

Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an ensample to them that believe, in word, in manner of life, in love, in faith, in purity.
