But concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need that anything be written to you.

But you, brothers, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief:

so then let us not sleep, as do the rest, but let us watch and be sober.

But let us, since we are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.

For God did not appoint us into wrath, but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

But we urge you, brothers, to know those that labor among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;

See that none render to any one evil for evil; but always follow after that which is good, both one toward another, and toward all.

but prove all things; hold fast that which is good;

that they all might be judged who did not believe the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brothers beloved of the Lord, for that God chose you from the beginning to salvation in sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:

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

neither did we eat bread for nothing at any man's hand, but in labor and travail, working night and day, that we might not burden any of you:

not because we don't have the right, but to make ourselves an example to you, that you should imitate us.

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

But you, brothers, don't be weary in well-doing.

And [yet] do not count 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 uses 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 becomes women professing godliness) through good works.
