γὰρ gar “for”

For when God gave the promise to Abraham, since He had no one greater to swear by, He swore by Himself,

γὰρ gar “For”

For men swear by what is greater than themselves; and with them an oath in confirmation of a statement always puts an end to a dispute.

γὰρ gar “for”

For this man, Melchizedek, King of Salem and priest of the Most High God--he who when Abraham was returning after defeating the kings met him and pronounced a blessing on him--

γὰρ gar “for”

For it is undeniable that our Lord sprang from Judah, a tribe of which Moses said nothing in connection with priests.

γὰρ gar “for”

For the words are in evidence, "Thou art a priest for ever, belonging to the order of Melchizedek."

On the one hand we have here the abrogation of an earlier code because it was weak and ineffective--

γὰρ gar “for”

for the Law brought no perfect blessing--but on the other hand we have the bringing in of a new and better hope by means of which we draw near to God.

γὰρ gar “for”

γὰρ gar “for”

Moreover we needed just such a High Priest as this--holy, guileless, undefiled, far removed from sinful men and exalted above the heavens;

γὰρ gar “indeed”

who, unlike other High Priests, is not under the necessity of offering up sacrifices day after day, first for His own sins, and afterwards for those of the people; for this latter thing He did once for all when He offered up Himself.

γὰρ gar “for”

For the Law constitutes men High Priests--men with all their infirmity--but the utterance of the oath, which came later than the Law, constitutes High Priest a Son who has been made for ever perfect.
