"Nevertheless"

Psalms 106:8 Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake,
That he might make his mighty power to be known.

And so the spiritual Israel of God are saved, not for any superior excellencies in them, for they are in no wise better than others; nor for their righteousness sake; but to display the wisdom and faithfulness of God, his grace and mercy, his justice and holiness, power, goodness, and truth.

- excerpt from John Gill's Bible commentary on Psalms 106:8

I beg the Reader to keep up his attention, not only here, but in every part of scripture, to the many neverthelesses, and buts, and notwithstandings, which are sweetly interspersed, to manifest the covenant-mercy and loving-kindness of God in Christ. ... Oh! how blessed it is to see that notwithstanding our unworthiness, the Name's-sake, and the covenant-engagement, of Jehovah, remain! The relation in which God the Father hath put himself to his people in Christ, and the infinite merit of Christ's blood and righteousness, must still come in to the relief of the poor sinner. There is a nevertheless, which is most blessed.
