G1161–δέ–de

and if by grace, no more of works, otherwise the grace becometh no more grace; and if of works, it is no more grace, otherwise the work is no more work.

δὲ de “now”δὲ de “now”

What then? What Israel doth seek after, this it did not obtain, and the chosen did obtain, and the rest were hardened,

δὲ de “but”δὲ de “now”

and if the fall of them `is' the riches of a world, and the diminution of them the riches of nations, how much more the fulness of them?

δὲ de “however”

For to you I speak -- to the nations -- inasmuch as I am indeed an apostle of nations, my ministration I do glorify;

δὲ de “now”

and if the first-fruit `is' holy, the lump also; and if the root `is' holy, the branches also.

δὲ de “now”

And if certain of the branches were broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wast graffed in among them, and a fellow-partaker of the root and of the fatness of the olive tree didst become --

δέ de “however”δὲ de “now”

do not boast against the branches; and if thou dost boast, thou dost not bear the root, but the root thee!

δὲ de “now”

by unbelief they were broken off, and thou hast stood by faith; be not high-minded, but be fearing;

δὲ de “however”

Lo, then, goodness and severity of God -- upon those indeed who fell, severity; and upon thee, goodness, if thou mayest remain in the goodness, otherwise, thou also shalt be cut off.

δὲ de “however”

And those also, if they may not remain in unbelief, shall be graffed in, for God is able again to graff them in;

δέ, de “now”

As regards, indeed, the good tidings, `they are' enemies on your account; and as regards the choice -- beloved on account of the fathers;

δὲ de “however”

for as ye also once did not believe in God, and now did find kindness by the unbelief of these:

δὲ de “however”

for as in one body we have many members, and all the members have not the same office,

δὲ de “now”

so we, the many, one body are in Christ, and members each one of one another.

δὲ de “and”

And having gifts, different according to the grace that was given to us; whether prophecy -- `According to the proportion of faith!'

δὲ de “however”

Let every soul to the higher authorities be subject, for there is no authority except from God, and the authorities existing are appointed by God,

δὲ de “however”

so that he who is setting himself against the authority, against God's ordinance hath resisted; and those resisting, to themselves shall receive judgment.

δὲ de “now”

For those ruling are not a terror to the good works, but to the evil; and dost thou wish not to be afraid of the authority? that which is good be doing, and thou shalt have praise from it,

δὲ de “now”

for of God it is a ministrant to thee for good; and if that which is evil thou mayest do, be fearing, for not in vain doth it bear the sword; for of God it is a ministrant, an avenger for wrath to him who is doing that which is evil.

δὲ de “however”

the night did advance, and the day came nigh; let us lay aside, therefore, the works of the darkness, and let us put on the armour of the light;

δὲ de “and”δὲ de “now”

And him who is weak in the faith receive ye -- not to determinations of reasonings;

δὲ de “now”

one doth believe that he may eat all things -- and he who is weak doth eat herbs;

δὲ de “however”

let not him who is eating despise him who is not eating: and let not him who is not eating judge him who is eating, for God did receive him.

δὲ de “now”

Thou -- who art thou that art judging another's domestic? to his own master he doth stand or fall; and he shall be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand.

δέ, de “however,”

One doth judge one day above another, and another doth judge every day `alike'; let each in his own mind be fully assured.

δὲ de “however”
