G1161–δέ–de

For grief according to God works repentance to salvation, never to be regretted; but the grief of the world works death.

δὲ de “and”

For this reason we have been encouraged. And we the rather rejoiced in our encouragement more abundantly by reason of the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.

δὲ de “also”δὲ de “now”

But we make known to you, brethren, the grace of God bestowed in the assemblies of Macedonia;

δὲ de “now”

But now also complete the doing of it; so that as [supplied: there was] the readiness to be willing, so also to complete out of what ye have.

δὲ de “then”

For [supplied: it is] not in order that there may be ease for others, and for you distress,

δὲ de “now”

But thanks [supplied: be] to God, who gives the same diligent zeal for you in the heart of Titus.

δὲ de “however”

For he received indeed the entreaty, but, being full of zeal, he went of his own accord to you;

δὲ de “however”

but we have sent with him the brother whose praise [supplied: is] in the glad tidings through all the assemblies;

δὲ de “now”

and not only [supplied: so], but [supplied: is] also chosen by the assemblies as our fellow-traveller with this grace, ministered by us to the glory of the Lord himself, and [supplied: a witness of] our readiness;

δέ, de “now,”

And we have sent with them our brother whom we have often proved to be of diligent zeal in many things, and now more diligently zealous through the great confidence [supplied: he has] as to you.

δὲ de “now”δὲ de “however”

But I have sent the brethren, in order that our boasting about you may not be made void in this respect, in order that, as I have said, ye may be prepared;

δὲ de “however”

But this [supplied: is true], he that sows sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he that sows in [supplied: the spirit of] blessing shall reap also in blessing:

δέ, de “now:”

But God is able to make every gracious gift abound towards you, that, having in every way always all-sufficiency, ye may abound to every good work:

δὲ de “now”

Now he that supplies seed to the sower and bread for eating shall supply and make abundant your sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness:

δὲ de “now”

Thanks [supplied: be] to God for his unspeakable free gift.

δὲ de “now”

But I myself, Paul, entreat you by the meekness and gentleness of the Christ, who, as to appearance, [supplied: when present] [supplied: am] mean among you, but absent am bold towards you;

δὲ de “now”δὲ de “however”

but I beseech that present I may not be bold with the confidence with which I think to be daring towards some who think of us as walking according to flesh.

δὲ de “now”

because his letters, he says, [supplied: are] weighty and strong, but his presence in the body weak, and his speech naught.

δὲ de “however”

Now *we* will not boast out of measure, but according to the measure of the rule which the God of measure has apportioned to us, to reach to you also.

δὲ de “however”

not boasting out of measure in other people's labours, but having hope, your faith increasing, to be enlarged amongst you, according to our rule, yet more abundantly

But I fear lest by any means, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craft, [supplied: so] your thoughts should be corrupted from simplicity as to the Christ.

δὲ de “however”

But what I do, I will also do, that I may cut off the opportunity of those wishing [supplied: for] an opportunity, that wherein they boast they may be found even as we.

δὲ de “however”

Again I say, Let not any one think me to be a fool; but if otherwise, receive me then even as a fool, that *I* also may boast myself some little.

δὲ de “then”
