G1161–δέ–de

Now that no man is justified by the law before God is evident, for, "The righteous will live by faith."

δὲ de “now”

The law is not of faith, but, "The man who does them will live by them."

δὲ de “And”

Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He doesn't say, "To seeds," as of many, but as of one, "To your seed," which is Christ.

δὲ de “And”

Now I say this. A covenant confirmed beforehand by God in Christ, the law, which came four hundred thirty years after, does not annul, so as to make the promise of no effect.

δὲ de “now”

For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more of promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by promise.

δὲ de “but”

Now a mediator is not between one, but God is one.

δὲ de “However”δὲ de “but”

But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, shut up to the faith which should afterwards be revealed.

δὲ de “now”

But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.

δὲ de “now”

If you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed and heirs according to promise.

δὲ de “now”

But I say that so long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a bondservant, though he is lord of all;

δέ, de “now,”

But when the fullness of the time came, God sent out his Son, born to a woman, born under the law,

δὲ de “however”

And because you are children, God sent out the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, "Abba, Father!"

δέ de “now”

So you are no longer a bondservant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

δὲ de “now”

But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, why do you turn back again to the weak and miserable elements, to which you desire to be in bondage all over again?

δὲ de “however”δὲ de “however”

but you know that because of weakness of the flesh I preached the Gospel to you the first time.

δὲ de “now”

But it is always good to be zealous in a good cause, and not only when I am present with you.

δὲ de “now”

but I could wish to be present with you now, and to change my tone, for I am perplexed about you.

δὲ de “indeed”

However, the son by the handmaid was born according to the flesh, but the son by the free woman was born through promise.

δὲ de “however”

For this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and answers to the Jerusalem that exists now, for she is in bondage with her children.

δὲ de “Now”δὲ de “now”

But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is the mother of us all.

δὲ de “But”

Now we, brothers, as Isaac was, are children of promise.

δέ, de “now,”

Yes, I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.

δὲ de “now”

I have confidence toward you in the Lord that you will think no other way. But he who troubles you will bear his judgment, whoever he is.

δὲ de “however”

But I, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling-block of the cross has been removed.

δέ, de “now,”

But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you don't consume one another.

δὲ de “however”
