δὲ de “now”

of certain men the sins are manifest beforehand, leading before to judgment, and certain also they follow after;

δὲ de “however”

and those having believing masters, let them not slight `them', because they are brethren, but rather let them serve, because they are stedfast and beloved, who of the benefit are partaking. These things be teaching and exhorting;

but it is great gain -- the piety with contentment;

δὲ de “however”

but having food and raiment -- with these we shall suffice ourselves;

δὲ de “however”

and those wishing to be rich, do fall into temptation and a snare, and many desires, foolish and hurtful, that sink men into ruin and destruction,

taking remembrance of the unfeigned faith that is in thee, that dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice, and I am persuaded that also in thee.

δὲ de “now”

and was made manifest now through the manifestation of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who indeed did abolish death, and did enlighten life and immortality through the good news,
