But go on doing good and giving to others, because God is well-pleased with such offerings.

But, brothers, take kindly the words which I have said for your profit; for I have not sent you a long letter.

But let this power have its full effect, so that you may be made complete, needing nothing.

But if any man among you is without wisdom, let him make his request to God, who gives freely to all without an unkind word, and it will be given to him.

But let the brother of low position be glad that he is lifted up;

But the man of wealth, that he is made low; because like the flower of the grass he will come to his end.

But every man is tested when he is turned out of the right way by the attraction of his desire.

You have knowledge of this, dear brothers. But let every man be quick in hearing, slow in words, slow to get angry;

But be doers of the word, and not only hearers of it, blinding yourselves with false ideas.

But he who goes on looking into the true law which makes him free, being not a hearer without memory but a doer putting it into effect, this man will have a blessing on his acts.

If a man seems to have religion and has no control over his tongue but lets himself be tricked by what is false, this man's religion is of no value.

But you have put the poor man to shame. Are not the men of wealth rulers over you? do they not take you by force before their judges?

But if you keep the greatest law of all, as it is given in the holy Writings, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself, you do well:

But if you take a man's position into account, you do evil, and are judged as evil-doers by the law.

For anyone who keeps all the law, but makes a slip in one point, is judged to have gone against it all.

For he who said, Do not be untrue in married life, is the same who said, Put no man to death. Now if you are not untrue in married life, but you put a man to death, the law is broken.

For the man who has had no mercy will be judged without mercy, but mercy takes pride in overcoming judging.

And one of you says to them, Go in peace, be warm and full of food; but you do not give them the things of which their bodies have need, what profit is there in this?

But a man may say, You have faith and I have works; let me see your faith without your works, and I will make my faith clear to you by my works.

Even so the tongue is a small part of the body, but it takes credit for great things. How much wood may be lighted by a very little fire!
