This verse, in its entirety, employs the conjunction "but" three times, not to set each verb apart from the others but to contrast each with the unrighteous types of behavior described earlier in verses 9 and 10. Weymouth translates: "And such were some of you. But you have washed, you have been consecrated, you have been acquitted, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and through the Spirit of our God."
