How come? Just askin'.
The word "but" was added by men, that word is not in the Greek text and should not be in English translations.

"But" does it change the message or enhance it by adding emphasis from insight?
It changes the message. There has always been only one way of salvation and that is by grace.

"But" it was Grace for salvation provided for by Jesus Christ.
Which was true with Abel. Abel was saved by grace through his faith.
Christ hasn't changed and salvation only comes through Christ. (Acts 4:12)

Likewise redemption which was of the same cross, which no one was nor could be redeemed, released from the grave, before the resurrection of Jesus..
Therefore, Abel was saved unto the promise of salvation. Same as anyone else in the OT who led a righteous life and died before Jesus gave His life on the cross.. For Abel, his "redemption" was 4 thousand years off.
What is grace?
Unmerited favor.
I do not believe God's Spirit is in you.
I do however believe you believe God's Spirit is in you.
What is it that you think I do not know?
You're right
Cancer is a curse.
If you have cancer you have a curse upon you.
The cure as you say is to have the curse removed from off of you.
God does not give anything to anyone who does not deserve it.
That would be unholy and sin.
God does not do anything that is not worth
that which He did.
For example if you are not worth it to be saved
God is not going to save you.
God does not waste anything.

Yes He does. You do not deserve squat. Yet by believing in the sacrifice of His Son, you are given eternal life
