7 verses in the King James Version. Word study for “only” →
For I was my father’s son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.
Let them be only thine own, and not strangers’ with thee.
The desire of the righteous is only good: but the expectation of the wicked is wrath.
Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.
In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.
An evil man seeketh only rebellion: therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.
The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want.
