[Is] God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man) 6 God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?
(Re: law) Roma 7:1 (KJV) Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? 2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to [her] husband so long as he liveth; *BUT *if** the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of [her] husband. 3 So then *if*, while [her] husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: *BUT *if** her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.

Be not highminded, but fear: 21 For *if* God spared not the natural branches, [take heed] lest he also spare not thee. 22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, *if* thou continue in [his] goodness: otherwise [*BUT *if** not] thou also shalt be cut off. 23 And they also, *if* they abide not still in unbelief [*if* they repent], shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again. 24 For *if* thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural [branches], be graffed into their own olive tree?

(Re: agape-love) 1Cor 10:27 (KJV) *If* any of them that believe not bid you [to a feast], and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake. 28 *BUT *if** any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth [is] the Lord's, and the fulness thereof:
(Re: headship) 1Cor 11:5 (KJV) But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with [her] head uncovered (not under the authority of her head; that is, her husband) dishonoureth her head (husband): for that is even all one as *if* she were shaven (civil shame; sign of dishonor). 6 For *if* the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: *BUT *if** it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, [then] let her [rather] be covered (have prior consent of her husband). 7 For a man indeed ought not to cover [his] head (being the head himself), forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God (as it is Written: 'God is the Head of ever man'): but the woman is the glory of the man.
(Re: appropriate behaviour) 1Cor 11:14 (KJV) Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, *if* a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? 15 *BUT *if** a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for [her] hair is given her for a covering. {covering: or, veil} 16 *BUT *if** any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God. {this is given as example ONLY!)
(Re: foreign languages in worship services) 1Cor 14:23 (KJV) *If* therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues (different languages), and there come in [those that are] unlearned (unfamiliar with those languages), or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad? 24 *BUT *if** all prophesy (teach), and there come in one that believeth not, or [one] unlearned, he is convinced (taught) of (by) all, he is judged (discerned, or understood) of (by) all: 25 And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on [his] face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth.
(Re: appropriate behaviour) 1Cor 14:27 (KJV) *If* any man speak in an [unknown, or foreign] tongue (language), [let it be] by two, or at the most [by] three, and [that] by course; and let one interpret. {two...: by two or three sentences separately} 28 *BUT *if** there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God. 29 Let the prophets (teachers) speak two or three, and let the other judge. 30 *if* [any thing] be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace. 31 For ye may all prophesy (teach & exhort) one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted (encouraged). 32 And the spirits of the prophets (teachers) are subject to the prophets (of old, and their Words). 33 For God is not [the author] of confusion, but of peace (His Government in us), as in all churches of the saints. {confusion: Gr. tumult, or, unquietness}

(Re: Covenants) 2Cor 3:6 (KJV) Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. {giveth life: or, quickeneth} 7 *BUT *if** the ministration of death, written [and] engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which [glory] was to be done away: 8 How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?
(Re: discernment) 2Cor 4:3 (KJV) *BUT *if** our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
(Re: grace) Gala 2:17 (KJV) *BUT *if**, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, [is] therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.

(Re: discipline) Hebr 12:7 (KJV) *If* ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? 8 *BUT *if** ye be without [refuse discipline] chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
(Re: man-pleasing) Jame 2:8 (KJV) *If* ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: 9 *BUT *if** ye have respect to persons [are man-pleasers], ye commit sin, and are convinced [convicted] of the law as transgressors.
(Re: discernment) Jame 3:13 (KJV) Who [is] a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. 14 *BUT *if** ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. 15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but [is] earthly, sensual, devilish. {sensual: or, natural}
(Re: discernment) Jame 4:11 (KJV) Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of [his] brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: *BUT *if** thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
(Re: affliction) 1Pet 2:20 (KJV) For what glory [is it], *if*, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? *BUT *if**, when ye do well, and suffer [for it], ye take it patiently, [then] this [is] acceptable with God. {acceptable: or, thank}
(Re: discernment) 1Joh 1:6 (KJV) *If* we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 7 *BUT *if** we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
