G1161–δέ–de

Here people who die receive tithes, but there one receives tithes of whom it is testified that he lives.

δὲ de “however”

(for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in thereupon of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.

δὲ de “then”

(for they indeed have been made priests without an oath), but he with an oath by him that says of him, "The Lord swore and will not change his mind, 'You are a priest forever, According to the order of Melchizedek'".

δὲ de “however”

But he, because he lives forever, has his priesthood unchangeable.

δὲ de “However”

For the law appoints men as high priests who have weakness, but the word of the oath which came after the law appoints a Son forever who has been perfected.

δὲ de “however”

Now in the things which we are saying, the main point is this. We have such a high priest, who sat down on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,

δὲ de “now”

But now he has obtained a more excellent ministry, by so much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises.

δὲ de “however”

In that he says, "A new covenant," he has made the first old. But that which is becoming old and grows aged is near to vanishing away.

δὲ de “then”

After the second veil was the tabernacle which is called the Holy of Holies,

δὲ de “now”

and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat, of which things we can't now speak in detail.

δὲ de “then”

Now these things having been thus prepared, the priests go in continually into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the services,

δὲ de “now”

but into the second the high priest alone, once in the year, not without blood, which he offers for himself, and for the errors of the people.

δὲ de “however”

But Christ having come as a high priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation,

δὲ de “however”

nor yet through the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, entered in once for all into the Holy Place, having obtained eternal redemption.

δὲ de “however”

Moreover he sprinkled the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry in like manner with the blood.

δὲ de “then”

It was necessary therefore that the copies of the things in the heavens should be cleansed with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

δὲ de “however”

or else he must have suffered often since the foundation of the world. But now once at the end of the ages, he has been revealed to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

δὲ de “however”

Inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once, and after this, judgment,

δὲ de “then”

Therefore when he comes into the world, he says, "Sacrifice and offering you didn't desire, But a body did you prepare for me;

δὲ de “however”

δὲ de “now”

but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which will devour the adversaries.

δέ de “however”

But remember the former days, in which, after you were enlightened, you endured a great struggle with sufferings;

δὲ de “however”
