G1161–δέ–de

and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.

δὲ de “now”δὲ de “however”

Not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body.

δέ, de “now,”

For we were saved in hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for that which he sees?

δὲ de “however”

But if we hope for that which we don't see, we wait for it with patience.

δὲ de “however”

In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don't know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which can't be uttered.

δὲ de “now”

He who searches the hearts knows what is on the Spirit's mind, because he makes intercession for the saints according to God.

δὲ de “now”

We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.

δὲ de “now”

Whom he predestined, those he also called. Whom he called, those he also justified. Whom he justified, those he also glorified.

δὲ de “then”δὲ de “then”

Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, yes rather, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.

δὲ de “now”

But it is not as though the word of God has come to nothing. For they are not all Israel, that are of Israel.

δὲ de “however”

Not only so, but Rebecca also conceived by one, by our father Isaac.

δέ, de “then,”

Even as it is written, "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."

δὲ de “but”

So then, he has mercy on whom he desires, and he hardens whom he desires.

δὲ de “now”

Or hasn't the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel for honor, and another for dishonor?

δὲ de “however”

What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath made for destruction,

δὲ de “now”

Isaiah cries concerning Israel, "If the number of the children of Israel are as the sand of the sea, It is the remnant who will be saved;

δὲ de “also”

What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who didn't follow after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith;

δὲ de “now”

but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, didn't arrive at the law of righteousness.

δὲ de “however”

But the righteousness which is of faith says this, "Don't say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?' (that is, to bring Christ down);

δὲ de “however”

For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

δὲ de “now”

How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a preacher?

And how will they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!"

So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
