Exegesis
The strong adversative alla {ἀλλὰ | allá} introduces a contrast that is expressed not by an independent main clause, but by an appeal to Scripture introduced with kathōs gegraptai {καθὼς γέγραπται | kathṓs gégraptai} “just as it is written,” whose perfect passive form underscores the enduring authority of the written text.

In context — Romans 15:3
For even Christ did not please Himself, but just as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproach You fell upon Me.”
