and; but
Amazing grace how sweet the sound,
hat saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
was blind but now I see.
dev is a postpositive. This means that it cannot be the first word in a sentence or clause, even though in your translation it is the first word. It usually is the second word and sometimes the third, e.g., oJ de; ei\pon ....
| Hebrews 13:22 | I appeal to you, brothers, bear with my word of exhortation, for in fact I have written to you briefly. |
| James 1:4 | And (de | δέ | conj) let endurance carry out its intended purpose, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking in nothing. |
| James 1:5 | But (de | δέ | conj) if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to everyone generously, not demanding something in return, and it will be given to him. |
| James 1:6 | But (de | δέ | conj) he must ask in faith without doubting, for the doubter is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed about. |
| James 1:9 | Let the brother of limited means take pride in his high position, |
| James 1:10 | and (de | δέ | conj) the wealthy brother in his humiliation, because like a flower in the meadow he will pass away. |
| James 1:13 | No one when tempted should say, “I am being tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted to do evil, and (de | δέ | conj) he himself tempts no one else. |
| James 1:14 | But (de | δέ | conj) each person is tempted when by his own desire he is lured away and enticed. |
| James 1:15 | Then desire, when it has conceived, gives birth to sin; and (de | δέ | conj) sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death. |
| James 1:19 | Understand this, my dear brothers: everyone must be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry. |
| James 1:22 | But (de | δέ | conj) be doers of the word and not merely hearers, deceiving yourselves. |
| James 1:25 | But (de | δέ | conj) the person who looks intently into the perfect law, the law that provides liberty, and continues in it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an active doer — he will be blessed in his doing. |
| James 2:2 | For if a man comes into your congregation wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and (de | δέ | conj) a poor man in dirty clothes also comes in, |
| James 2:3 | and (de | δέ | conj) you pay special attention to the one wearing the fine clothes and say, “You sit here in a good place,” but to the poor man you say, “You stand over there, or sit down here at my feet,” |
| James 2:6 | But (de | δέ | conj) you have dishonored the poor! Is it not the rich who oppress you? And are not they the ones who drag you into court? |
| James 2:9 | But (de | δέ | conj) if you show favoritism, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors. |
| James 2:10 | For whoever keeps the entire law yet (de | δέ | conj) fails at a single point has become guilty of the law as a whole. |
| James 2:11 | For he who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not commit murder.” Now (de | δέ | conj) if you do not commit adultery but (de | δέ | conj) do commit murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. |
| James 2:14 | What good is it, my brothers, if someone claims to have faith but (de | δέ | conj) has no works? Can that kind of faith save him? |
| James 2:16 | and (de | δέ | conj) one of you says to them, “Go in peace; stay warm and eat your fill,” and (de | δέ | conj) yet (de | δέ | conj) you do not give them what their body needs, what good is that? |
| James 2:20 | Would you like to be shown, you shallow person, that faith without works is useless? |
| James 2:23 | And the scripture was fulfilled that says, “And (de | δέ | conj) Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,” and he was called the friend of God. |
| James 2:25 | And (de | δέ | conj) in the same way was not also Rahab the harlot justified by works when she took in the spies and sent them out by another way? |
| James 3:3 | Now (de | δέ | conj) if we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, then we guide their entire body. |
| James 3:8 | But (de | δέ | conj) the tongue, no one is able to tame; it is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. |
