to the one, indeed, a fragrance of death to death, and to the other, a fragrance of life to life; and for these things who is sufficient?

δὲ de “however”

and such trust we have through the Christ toward God,

δὲ de “now”

who also made us sufficient `to be' ministrants of a new covenant, not of letter, but of spirit; for the letter doth kill, and the spirit doth make alive.

δὲ de “but”

and if the ministration of the death, in letters, engraved in stones, came in glory, so that the sons of Israel were not able to look stedfastly to the face of Moses, because of the glory of his face -- which was being made useless,

δὲ de “now”

and whenever they may turn unto the Lord, the vail is taken away.

δὲ de “however”

And the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord `is', there `is' liberty;

δὲ de “however”

δὲ de “now”

And we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us;

δὲ de “now”

so that, the death indeed in us doth work, and the life in you.

δὲ de “however”

And having the same spirit of the faith, according to that which hath been written, `I believed, therefore I did speak;' we also do believe, therefore also do we speak;

δὲ de “however”

we not looking to the things seen, but to the things not seen; for the things seen `are' temporary, but the things not seen `are' age-during.

δὲ de “yet”δὲ de “yet”
