G1063–γάρ–gar

For God is true, and will not put away from him the memory of your work and of your love for his name, in the help which you gave and still give to the saints.

γὰρ gar “for”

For when God made his oath to Abraham, because there was no greater oath, he made it by himself,

γὰρ gar “For”

For men at all times make their oaths by what is greater; and any argument is ended by the decision of the oath.

γὰρ gar “for”

For this Melchizedek, the king of Salem, a priest of the Most High God, who gave Abraham his blessing, meeting him when he came back after putting the kings to death,

γὰρ gar “for”

Because he was still in his father's body when Melchizedek came to him.

γὰρ gar “for”

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

γὰρ gar “for”

Because if the priests are changed, it is necessary to make a change in the law.

γὰρ gar “for”

For he of whom these things are said comes of another tribe, of which no man has ever made offerings at the altar.

γὰρ gar “for”

Because it is clear that our Lord comes out of Judah, and Moses said nothing about priests from that tribe.

γὰρ gar “for”

For it has been witnessed of him, You are a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

γὰρ gar “for”

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

γὰρ gar “for”

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

γὰρ gar “for”

(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);

γὰρ gar “for”

It was right for us to have such a high priest, one who is holy and without evil, doing no wrong, having no part with sinners, and made higher than the heavens:

γὰρ gar “indeed”

Who has no need to make offerings for sins every day, like those high priests, first for himself, and then for the people; because he did this once and for ever when he made an offering of himself.

γὰρ gar “for”

The law makes high priests of men who are feeble; but the word of the oath, which was made after the law, gives that position to a Son, in whom all good is for ever complete.

γὰρ gar “for”

Now every high priest is given authority to take to God the things which are given and to make offerings; so that it is necessary for this man, like them, to have something for an offering.

γὰρ gar “for”

Being servants of that which is a copy and an image of the things in heaven, as Moses, when he was about to make the Tent, had special orders from God: for, See, he said, that you make everything like the design which you saw in the mountain.

γάρ gar “for”

For if that first agreement had been as good as possible, there would have been no place for a second.

γὰρ gar “for”

For, protesting against them, he says, See, the days are coming when I will make a new agreement with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah;

γὰρ gar “for”

For the first Tent was made ready, having in it the vessels for the lights and the table and the ordering of the bread; and this is named the holy place.

γὰρ gar “for”

For if the blood of goats and oxen, and the dust from the burning of a young cow, being put on the unclean, make the flesh clean:

γὰρ gar “for”

Because where there is a testament, there has to be the death of the man who made it.

γὰρ gar “for”

For a testament has effect after death; for what power has it while the man who made it is living?

γὰρ gar “for”

For when Moses had given all the rules of the law to the people, he took the blood of goats and young oxen, with water and red wool and hyssop, and put it on the book itself and on all the people,

γὰρ gar “for”
