'Rather' in the Bible

so that contrariwise ye should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest by any means such a one should be swallowed up with his overmuch sorrow.

how shall not rather the ministration of the spirit be with glory?

For if the ministration of condemnation hath glory, much rather doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.

we are of good courage, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord.

And he hath said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my power is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
