G1161–δέ–de

I speak by way of disparagement, as though we had been weak. Yet however any is bold (I speak in foolishness), I am bold also.

δ᾽ d᾽ “however”

It is doubtless not profitable for me to boast. For I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.

δὲ de “however”

On behalf of such a one I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except in my weaknesses.

δὲ de “however”

For if I would desire to boast, I will not be foolish; for I will speak the truth. But I forbear, so that no man may account of me above that which he sees in me, or hears from me.

δὲ de “however”

I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more abundantly, am I loved the less?

δὲ de “now”

But be it so, I did not myself burden you. But, being crafty, I caught you with deception.

δέ, de “however,”

Again, do you think that we are excusing ourselves to you? In the sight of God we speak in Christ. But all things, beloved, are for your edifying.

δὲ de “but”

But I hope that you will know that we aren't disqualified.

δὲ de “now”

Now I pray to God that you do no evil; not that we may appear approved, but that you may do that which is honorable, though we are as reprobate.

δὲ de “now”δὲ de “though”

For we rejoice when we are weak and you are strong. And this we also pray for, even your perfecting.

δὲ de “however”δὲ de “now”

But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me through his grace,

δὲ de “however”

But of the other apostles I saw no one, except James, the Lord's brother.

δὲ de “however”

Now about the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I'm not lying.

δὲ de “now”

I was still unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea which were in Christ,

δὲ de “then”

but they only heard: "He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy."

δὲ de “however”

I went up by revelation, and I laid before them the Gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately before those who were respected, for fear that I might be running, or had run, in vain.

δὲ de “now”δὲ de “however”

This was because of the false brothers secretly brought in, who stole in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage;

δὲ de “even”

But from those who were reputed to be important (whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God doesn't show partiality to man)--they, I say, who were respected imparted nothing to me,

δὲ de “now”

and when they perceived the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, they who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision.

δὲ de “however”

But when Peter came to Antioch, I resisted him to the face, because he stood condemned.

δὲ de “however”

For before some people came from James, he ate with the Gentiles. But when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.

δὲ de “however”

yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through the faith of Jesus Christ, even we believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law, because no flesh will be justified by the works of the law.

δὲ de “then”

But if, while we sought to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, is Christ a servant of sin? Certainly not!

δὲ de “however”

I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.

δὲ de “now”δὲ de “however”δὲ de “then”

The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the Gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, "In you all the nations will be blessed."

δὲ de “then”
