G1161–δέ–de

But if it is of grace, then it is no longer of works: or grace would not be grace.

δὲ de “now”δὲ de “now”

What then? That which Israel was searching for he did not get, but those of the selection got it and the rest were made hard.

δὲ de “but”δὲ de “now”

Now, if their fall is the wealth of the world, and their loss the wealth of the Gentiles, how much greater will be the glory when they are made full?

δὲ de “however”

But I say to you, Gentiles, in so far as I am the Apostle of the Gentiles, I make much of my position:

δὲ de “now”

And if the first-fruit is holy, so is the mass: and if the root is holy, so are the branches.

δὲ de “now”

But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, an olive-tree of the fields, were put in among them, and were given a part with them in the root by which the olive-tree is made fertile,

δέ de “however”δὲ de “now”

Do not be uplifted in pride over the branches: because it is not you who are the support of the root, but it is by the root that you are supported.

δὲ de “now”

Truly, because they had no faith they were broken off, and you have your place by reason of your faith. Do not be lifted up in pride, but have fear;

δὲ de “however”

See then that God is good but his rules are fixed: to those who were put away he was hard, but to you he has been good, on the condition that you keep in his mercy; if not, you will be cut off as they were.

δὲ de “however”

And they, if they do not go on without faith, will be united to the tree again, because God is able to put them in again.

δέ, de “now”

As far as the good news is in question, they are cut off from God on account of you, but as far as the selection is in question, they are loved on account of the fathers.

δὲ de “however”

For as you, in time past, were not under the rule of God, but now have got mercy through their turning away,

δὲ de “however”

For, as we have a number of parts in one body, but all the parts have not the same use,

δὲ de “now”

So we, though we are a number of persons, are one body in Christ, and are dependent on one another;

δὲ de “and”

And having different qualities by reason of the grace given to us, such as the quality of a prophet, let it be made use of in relation to the measure of our faith;

δὲ de “however”

Let everyone put himself under the authority of the higher powers, because there is no power which is not of God, and all powers are ordered by God.

δὲ de “however”

For which reason everyone who puts himself against the authority puts himself against the order of God: and those who are against it will get punishment for themselves.

δὲ de “now”

For rulers are not a cause of fear to the good work but to the evil. If you would have no fear of the authority, do good and you will have praise;

δὲ de “now”

For he is the servant of God to you for good. But if you do evil, have fear; for the sword is not in his hand for nothing: he is God's servant, making God's punishment come on the evil-doer.

δὲ de “however”

The night is far gone, and the day is near: so let us put off the works of the dark, arming ourselves with light,

δὲ de “and”δὲ de “now”

Do not put on one side him who is feeble in faith, and do not put him in doubt by your reasonings.

δὲ de “now”

One man has faith to take all things as food: another who is feeble in faith takes only green food.

δὲ de “however”

Let not him who takes food have a low opinion of him who does not: and let not him who does not take food be a judge of him who does; for he has God's approval.

δὲ de “now”

Who are you to make yourself a judge of another man's servant? it is to his master that he is responsible for good or bad. Yes, his place will be safe, because the Lord is able to keep him from falling.

δέ, de “however,”

This man puts one day before another: to that man they are the same. Let every man be certain in his mind.

δὲ de “however”
