G1161–δέ–de

and `the righteous by faith shall live,' and `if he may draw back, My soul hath no pleasure in him,'

δὲ de “however”

and we are not of those drawing back to destruction, but of those believing to a preserving of soul.

δὲ de “however”

And faith is of things hoped for a confidence, of matters not seen a conviction,

δὲ de “now”

and apart from faith it is impossible to please well, for it behoveth him who is coming to God to believe that He is, and to those seeking Him He becometh a rewarder.

δὲ de “now”

but now they long for a better, that is, an heavenly, wherefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for He did prepare for them a city.

δὲ de “however”

Women received by a rising again their dead, and others were tortured, not accepting the redemption, that a better rising again they might receive,

δὲ de “then”

and others of mockings and scourgings did receive trial, and yet of bonds and imprisonment;

δὲ de “then”δὲ de “also”

for whom the Lord doth love He doth chasten, and He scourgeth every son whom He receiveth;'

δὲ de “now”

and if ye are apart from chastening, of which all have become partakers, then bastards are ye, and not sons.

δὲ de “however”

Then, indeed, fathers of our flesh we have had, chastising `us', and we were reverencing `them'; shall we not much rather be subject to the Father of the spirits, and live?

δὲ de “however”

for they, indeed, for a few days, according to what seemed good to them, were chastening, but He for profit, to be partakers of His separation;

δὲ de “however”

and all chastening for the present, indeed, doth not seem to be of joy, but of sorrow, yet afterward the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those exercised through it -- it doth yield.

δὲ de “now”δὲ de “however”

and straight paths make for your feet, that that which is lame may not be turned aside, but rather be healed;

δὲ de “however”

whose voice the earth shook then, and now hath he promised, saying, `Yet once -- I shake not only the earth, but also the heaven;'

δὲ de “however”

and this -- `Yet once' -- doth make evident the removal of the things shaken, as of things having been made, that the things not shaken may remain;

δὲ de “now”

and of doing good, and of fellowship, be not forgetful, for with such sacrifices God is well-pleased.

δὲ de “And”

and more abundantly do I call upon `you' to do this, that more quickly I may be restored to you.

δὲ de “now”

And the God of the peace, who did bring up out of the dead the great shepherd of the sheep -- in the blood of an age-during covenant -- our Lord Jesus,

δὲ de “now”

And I entreat you, brethren, suffer the word of the exhortation, for also through few words I have written to you.

δὲ de “now”

and let the endurance have a perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire -- in nothing lacking;

δὲ de “And”

and if any of you do lack wisdom, let him ask from God, who is giving to all liberally, and not reproaching, and it shall be given to him;

δέ de “now”

and let him ask in faith, nothing doubting, for he who is doubting hath been like a wave of the sea, driven by wind and tossed,

δὲ de “however”

And let the brother who is low rejoice in his exaltation,

δὲ de “however”

and the rich in his becoming low, because as a flower of grass he shall pass away;

δὲ de “then”

Let no one say, being tempted -- `From God I am tempted,' for God is not tempted of evil, and Himself doth tempt no one,

δὲ de “now”
