G1223–διά–dia

So that as it is clear that some have to go in, and that the first hearers of the good news were not able to go in because they went against God's orders,

δι᾽ di᾽ “because of”

And being feeble, he has to make sin-offerings for himself as well as for the people.

δι᾽ di᾽ “because of”

And though by this time it would be right for you to be teachers, you still have need of someone to give you teaching about the first simple rules of God's revelation; you have become like babies who have need of milk, and not of solid food.

διὰ dia “by”

But solid food is for men of full growth, even for those whose senses are trained by use to see what is good and what is evil.

διὰ dia “through”

For a land, drinking in the frequent rain and producing good plants for those for whom it is worked, has a blessing from God:

δι᾽ di᾽ “for the sake of”

So that you may not be slow in heart, but may take as your example those to whom God has given their heritage, because of their faith and their long waiting.

διὰ dia “through”

So that we, who have gone in flight from danger to the hope which has been put before us, may have a strong comfort in two unchanging things, in which it is not possible for God to be false;

διὰ dia “through”

And we may say that in Abraham, even Levi, who has a right to take the tenth part, gave it;

δι᾽ di᾽ “through”

Now if it was possible for things to be made complete through the priests of the house of Levi (for the law was given to the people in connection with them), what need was there for another priest who was of the order of Melchizedek and not of the order

διὰ dia “through”

So the law which went before is put on one side, because it was feeble and without profit.

διὰ dia “because of”

(Because the law made nothing complete), and in its place there is a better hope, through which we come near to God.

δι᾽ di᾽ “through”

(For those were made priests without an oath, but this one was made a priest with an oath by him who says of him, The Lord gave his oath, which he will not take back, that you are a priest for ever);

διὰ dia “through”

And it is true that there have been a great number of those priests, because death does not let them go on for ever;

διὰ dia “because of”

But this priest, because his life goes on for ever, is unchanging.

διὰ dia “because of”

So that he is fully able to be the saviour of all who come to God through him, because he is ever living to make prayer to God for them.

δι᾽ di᾽ “through”

Now while these things were in existence, the priests went into the first Tent at all times, for prayer and the making of offerings.

διὰ dia “at”

But now Christ has come as the high priest of the good things of the future, through this greater and better Tent, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this world,

διὰ dia “through”

And has gone once and for ever into the holy place, having got eternal salvation, not through the blood of goats and young oxen, but through his blood.

δι᾽ di᾽ “through”διὰ dia “through”

How much more will the blood of Christ, who, being without sin, made an offering of himself to God through the Holy Spirit, make your hearts clean from dead works to be servants of the living God?

διὰ dia “through”

And for this cause it is through him that a new agreement has come into being, so that after the errors under the first agreement had been taken away by his death, the word of God might have effect for those who were marked out for an eternal heritage.

διὰ dia “because of”

For then he would have undergone a number of deaths from the time of the making of the world: but now he has come to us at the end of the old order, to put away sin by the offering of himself.

διὰ dia “through”

For if this had been possible, would there not have been an end of those offerings, because the worshippers would have been made completely clean and would have been no longer conscious of sins?

διὰ dia “because of”

By that pleasure we have been made holy, by the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once and for ever.

διὰ dia “through”

By the new and living way which he made open for us through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

διὰ dia “through”

By faith Abel made a better offering to God than Cain, and he had witness through it of his righteousness, God giving his approval of his offering: and his voice still comes to us through it though he is dead.
