'Instead' in the Bible

Moreover, in the area of teaching, I am not allowing a woman to instigate conflict toward a man. Instead, she is to remain calm.

He must not drink excessively or be a violent person, but instead be gentle. He must not be argumentative or love money.

Their wives must also be serious. They must not be gossips, but instead be stable and trustworthy in everything.

Do not have anything to do with godless myths and fables of old women. Instead, train yourself to be godly.

But you, man of God, must flee from all these things. Instead, you must pursue righteousness, godliness, faithfulness, love, endurance, and gentleness.

Tell those who are rich in this age not to be arrogant and not to place their confidence in anything as uncertain as riches. Instead, let them place their confidence in God, who lavishly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.
