δὲ de “And”

But I am hoping in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you before long, so that I may be comforted when I have news of you.

For the rest, my brothers, be glad in the Lord. Writing the same things to you is no trouble to me, and for you it is safe.

δὲ de “however”

Not as if I had even now got the reward or been made complete: but I go on in the hope that I may come to the knowledge of that for which I was made the servant of Christ Jesus.
