G1161–δέ–de

And here dying men receive tithes; but there [ergänzt: one] of whom the witness is that he lives;

δὲ de “however”

(for the law perfected nothing,) and the introduction of a better hope by which we draw nigh to God.

δὲ de “then”

(for they are become priests without the swearing of an oath, but he with the swearing of an oath, by him who said, as to him, The Lord has sworn, and will not repent [ergänzt: of it], *Thou* [ergänzt: art] priest for ever [ergänzt: according to the order of Melchisedec];)

δὲ de “however”

but he, because of his continuing for ever, has the priesthood unchangeable.

δὲ de “However”

For the law constitutes men high priests, having infirmity; but the word of the swearing of the oath which [ergänzt: is] after the law, a Son perfected for ever.

δὲ de “however”

Now a summary of the things of which we are speaking [ergänzt: is], We have such a one high priest who has sat down on [ergänzt: the] right hand of the throne of the greatness in the heavens;

δὲ de “now”

But now he has got a more excellent ministry, by so much as he is mediator of a better covenant, which is established on the footing of better promises.

δὲ de “however”

In that he says New, he has made the first old; but that which grows old and aged [ergänzt: is] near disappearing.

δὲ de “then”

but after the second veil a tabernacle which is called Holy of holies,

δὲ de “now”

and above over it the cherubim of glory shadowing the mercy-seat; concerning which it is not now [ergänzt: the time] to speak in detail.

δὲ de “then”

Now these things being thus ordered, into the first tabernacle the priests enter at all times, accomplishing the services;

δὲ de “now”

but into the second, the high priest only, once a year, not without blood, which he offers for himself and for the errors of the people:

δὲ de “however”

But Christ being come high priest of the good things to come, by the better and more perfect tabernacle not made with hand, (that is, not of this creation,)

δὲ de “however”

nor by blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood, has entered in once for all into the [ergänzt: holy of] holies, having found an eternal redemption.

δὲ de “however”

And the tabernacle too and all the vessels of service he sprinkled in like manner with blood;

δὲ de “then”

[ergänzt: It was] necessary then that the figurative representations of the things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with sacrifices better than these.

δὲ de “however”

since he had [ergänzt: then] been obliged often to suffer from the foundation of the world. But now once in the consummation of the ages he has been manifested for [ergänzt: the] putting away of sin by his sacrifice.

δὲ de “however”

And forasmuch as it is the portion of men once to die, and after this judgment;

δὲ de “then”

Wherefore coming into the world he says, Sacrifice and offering thou willedst not; but thou hast prepared me a body.

δὲ de “however”

But *he*, having offered one sacrifice for sins, sat down in perpetuity at [ergänzt: the] right hand of God,

δὲ de “however”

And the Holy Spirit also bears us witness [ergänzt: of it]; for after what was said:

δὲ de “now”

But where there [ergänzt: is] remission of these, [ergänzt: there is] no longer a sacrifice for sin.

δὲ de “now”

but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and heat of fire about to devour the adversaries.

δέ de “however”

But call to mind the earlier days in which, having been enlightened, ye endured much conflict of sufferings;

δὲ de “however”

on the one hand, when ye were made a spectacle both in reproaches and afflictions; and on the other, when ye became partakers with those who were passing through them.

δὲ de “however”
