G1161–δέ–de

But glory and honor and peace to every man who works good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

δὲ de “however”

Indeed you bear the name of a Jew, and rest on the law, and glory in God,

δὲ de “however”

For circumcision indeed profits, if you are a doer of the law, but if you are a transgressor of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

δὲ de “however”

May it never be! Yes, let God be found true, but every man a liar. As it is written, "That you might be justified in your words, And might prevail when you come into judgment."

δὲ de “however”δὲ de “now”

But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what will we say? Is God unrighteous who inflicts wrath? I speak like men do.

δὲ de “however”

For if the truth of God through my lie abounded to his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?

δὲ de “however”

Now we know that whatever things the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God.

δὲ de “now”

But now apart from the law, a righteousness of God has been revealed, being testified by the law and the prophets;

δὲ de “however”

even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ to all and on all those who believe. For there is no distinction,

δὲ de “now”

Or is God the God of Jews only? Isn't he the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also,

δὲ de “now”

For what does the Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness."

δὲ de “then”

Now to him who works, the reward is not counted as grace, but as debt.

δὲ de “now”

But to him who doesn't work, but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.

δὲ de “however”δὲ de “however”

For the law works wrath, for where there is no law, neither is there disobedience.

δὲ de “now”

Yet, looking to the promise of God, he didn't waver through unbelief, but grew strong through faith, giving glory to God,

δὲ de “however”

Now it was not written that it was accounted to him for his sake alone,

δὲ de “now”

Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering works perseverance;

δέ, de “now,”

and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope:

δὲ de “And”δὲ de “and”

and hope doesn't disappoint us, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

δὲ de “And”

But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

δὲ de “however”

Not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

δέ, de “now,”

The law came in besides, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace did abound more exceedingly;

δὲ de “now”δὲ de “however”

But if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him;

δὲ de “now”
