'Rather' in the Bible

but, in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subjected to you, but rejoice rather that your names were written in the heavens.'

And he said, 'Yea, rather, happy those hearing the word of God, and keeping it!'

'Think ye that peace I came to give in the earth? no, I say to you, but rather division;

'I say to you, that so joy shall be in the heaven over one sinner reforming, rather than over ninety-nine righteous men, who have no need of reformation.

but will not rather say to him, Prepare what I may sup, and having girded thyself about, minister to me, till I eat and drink, and after these things thou shalt eat and drink?

I say to you, this one went down declared righteous, to his house, rather than that one: for every one who is exalting himself shall be humbled, and he who is humbling himself shall be exalted.'
