G1161–δέ–de

for the sorrow toward God reformation to salvation not to be repented of doth work, and the sorrow of the world doth work death,

δὲ de “and”

because of this we have been comforted in your comfort, and more abundantly the more did we rejoice in the joy of Titus, that his spirit hath been refreshed from you all;

δὲ de “also”δὲ de “now”

And we make known to you, brethren, the grace of God, that hath been given in the assemblies of Macedonia,

δὲ de “now”

and now also finish doing `it', that even as `there is' the readiness of the will, so also the finishing, out of that which ye have,

δὲ de “then”

for not that for others release, and ye pressured, `do I speak,'

δὲ de “now”

And thanks to God, who is putting the same diligence for you in the heart of Titus,

δὲ de “however”

because indeed the exhortation he accepted, and being more diligent, of his own accord he went forth unto you,

δὲ de “however”

and we sent with him the brother, whose praise in the good news `is' through all the assemblies,

δὲ de “now”

and not only so, but who was also appointed by vote by the assemblies, our fellow-traveller, with this favour that is ministered by us, unto the glory of the same Lord, and your willing mind;

δέ, de “now,”

and we sent with them our brother, whom we proved in many things many times being diligent, and now much more diligent, by the great confidence that is toward you,

δὲ de “now”δὲ de “however”

and I sent the brethren, that our boasting on your behalf may not be made vain in this respect; that, according as I said, ye may be ready,

δὲ de “however”

And this: He who is sowing sparingly, sparingly also shall reap; and he who is sowing in blessings, in blessings also shall reap;

δέ, de “now:”

and God `is' able all grace to cause to abound to you, that in every thing always all sufficiency having, ye may abound to every good work,

δὲ de “now”

and may He who is supplying seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness,

δὲ de “now”

thanks also to God for His unspeakable gift!

δὲ de “now”

And I, Paul, myself, do call upon you -- through the meekness and gentleness of the Christ -- who in presence, indeed `am' humble among you, and being absent, have courage toward you,

δὲ de “now”δὲ de “however”

and I beseech `you', that, being present, I may not have courage, with the confidence with which I reckon to be bold against certain reckoning us as walking according to the flesh;

δὲ de “now”

`because the letters indeed -- saith one -- `are' weighty and strong, and the bodily presence weak, and the speech despicable.'

δὲ de “however”

and we in regard to the unmeasured things will not boast ourselves, but after the measure of the line that the God of measure did appoint to us -- to reach even unto you;

δὲ de “however”

not boasting of the things not measured, in other men's labours, and having hope -- your faith increasing -- in you to be enlarged, according to our line -- into abundance,

δὲ de “however”

and he who is boasting -- in the Lord let him boast;

δὲ de “however”

and I fear, lest, as the serpent did beguile Eve in his subtilty, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that `is' in the Christ;

δὲ de “however”

and even if unlearned in word -- yet not in knowledge, but in every thing we were made manifest in all things to you.

δὲ de “however”

and what I do, I also will do, that I may cut off the occasion of those wishing an occasion, that in that which they boast they may be found according as we also;

δὲ de “however”

Again I say, may no one think me to be a fool; and if otherwise, even as a fool receive me, that I also a little may boast.

δὲ de “then”
