For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.

For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die.

For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die.

Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die.

Now it is an extraordinary thing for one to give his life even for an upright man, though perhaps for a noble and lovable and generous benefactor someone might even dare to die.

for, very rarely in behalf of one of those individuals who is legally exact and precise in his observance of the customs and rules of the society in which he lives will anyone die, yet perhaps in behalf of the one who is generous in heart, always doing good to others, a person would even dare to die.

In human experience it is a rare thing for one man to give his life for another, even if the latter be a good man, though there have been a few who have had the courage to do it.

Now a man will scarcely ever give his life for an upright person, though once in a while a man is brave enough to die for a generous friend. (Greek, a good man, but with qualities of unselfish generosity included.)
