It serves to contrast, continue, or introduce a new thought or idea. In the New Testament, "δέ" is frequently employed to transition between narratives or to introduce a shift in focus or emphasis.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In Koine Greek, the language of the New Testament, conjunctions like "δέ" were essential for the flow and coherence of discourse. Unlike English, which often relies on punctuation to indicate shifts in thought, Greek uses particles to guide the reader through the text. "δέ" is less emphatic than "ἀλλά" (alla), another Greek word for "but," and is often used in a more subtle or nuanced way to indicate a change or continuation in the narrative.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>1211</b> <i>dḗ</i>(an adverb) – <i>really</i>, <i>with veracity</i> ("<i>in truth</i>").
