G1161–δέ–de

But glory and honour and peace to all whose works are good, to the Jew first and then to the Greek:

δὲ de “however”

But as for you who have the name of Jew, and are resting on the law, and take pride in God,

δὲ de “however”

It is true that circumcision is of use if you keep the law, but if you go against the law it is as if you had it not.

δὲ de “however”

In no way: but let God be true, though every man is seen to be untrue; as it is said in the Writings, That your words may be seen to be true, and you may be seen to be right when you are judged.

δὲ de “however”δὲ de “now”

But if the righteousness of God is supported by our wrongdoing what is to be said? is it wrong for God to be angry (as men may say)?

δὲ de “however”

But if, because I am untrue, God being seen to be true gets more glory, why am I to be judged as a sinner?

δὲ de “however”

Now, we have knowledge that what the law says is for those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and all men may be judged by God:

δὲ de “now”

But now without the law there is a revelation of the righteousness of God, to which witness is given by the law and the prophets;

δὲ de “however”

That is, the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ, to all those who have faith; and one man is not different from another,

δὲ de “now”

Or is God the God of Jews only? is he not in the same way the God of Gentiles? Yes, of Gentiles:

δὲ de “now”

But what does it say in the holy Writings? And Abraham had faith in God, and it was put to his account as righteousness.

δὲ de “then”

Now, the reward is credited to him who does works, not as of grace but as a debt.

δὲ de “now”

But to him who without working has faith in him who gives righteousness to the evil-doer, his faith is put to his account as righteousness.

δὲ de “however”δὲ de “however”

For the outcome of the law is wrath; but where there is no law it will not be broken.

δὲ de “now”

Still, he did not give up faith in the undertaking of God, but was made strong by faith, giving glory to God,

δὲ de “however”

Now, it was not because of him only that this was said,

δὲ de “now”

And not only so, but let us have joy in our troubles: in the knowledge that trouble gives us the power of waiting;

δέ, de “now,”

And waiting gives experience; and experience, hope:

δὲ de “And”δὲ de “and”

And hope does not put to shame; because our hearts are full of the love of God through the Holy Spirit which is given to us.

δὲ de “And”

But God has made clear his love to us, in that, when we were still sinners, Christ gave his life for us.

δὲ de “however”

And not only so, but we have joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we are now at peace with God.

δέ, de “now,”

Because, till the law came, sin was in existence, but sin is not put to the account of anyone when there is no law to be broken.

δὲ de “however”

And the free giving has not the same effect as the sin of one: for the effect of one man's sin was punishment by the decision of God, but the free giving had power to give righteousness to wrongdoers in great number.

δὲ de “however”

And the law came in addition, to make wrongdoing worse; but where there was much sin, there was much more grace:

δὲ de “now”δὲ de “however”

But if we are dead with Christ, we have faith that we will be living with him;

δὲ de “now”
