'Rather' in the Bible

Rather, love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them, expecting nothing in return. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind even to ungrateful and evil people.

That's how it is with the person who stores up treasures for himself rather than with God."

Do you think that I came to bring peace on earth? Not at all, I tell you, but rather division!

I tell you, this man, rather than the other one, went down to his home justified, because everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the person who humbles himself will be exalted."
