'Rather' in the Bible

And ye are puffed up, and did not rather mourn, that he that had done this deed might be taken away from among you.

Nay, already it is altogether a defect in you, that ye have lawsuits one with another. Why not rather take wrong? why not rather be defrauded?

Wast thou called being a bondservant? Care not for it: nay, even if thou canst become free, use it rather.

But I have used none of these things: and I write not these things that it may be so done in my case; for it were good for me rather to die, than that any man should make my glorifying void.

Nay, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be more feeble are necessary:

Follow after love; yet desire earnestly spiritual gifts , but rather that ye may prophesy.

Now I would have you all speak with tongues, but rather that ye should prophesy: and greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.

howbeit in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that I might instruct others also, than ten thousand words in a tongue.
