"The sins listed are not ethical but ritual violations."
Should it be as it is? Or should it be:
The sins listed are not ethical, but ritual, violations.
Or,
The sins listed are not ethical, but ritual violations.

The sins listed are not ethical, but ritual violations.
Use a comma before "but" almost ALWAYS.

You third one. There should be a comma whenever you take a natural break in the sentence (read it aloud to yourself).
"The sins listed are not ethical, but ritual violations."
Just read it aloud, or have someone else read it aloud to you and see which sounds the best.

Use a comma before but, however, although, etc.
