'Instead' in the Bible

Instead, each person is tempted by his own desire, being lured and trapped by it.

If anyone thinks that he is religious and does not bridle his tongue, but instead deceives himself, his religion is worthless.

Instead, you should say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.”

Above all, brothers, do not swear oaths by heaven, by earth, or by any other object. Instead, let your "Yes" mean yes and your "No" mean no! Otherwise, you may fall under condemnation.
