G1163–δεῖ–dei

and I wrote to you this same thing, that having come, I may not have sorrow from them of whom it behoved me to have joy, having confidence in you all, that my joy is of you all,

ἔδει edei “it was necessary”

for all of us it behoveth to be manifested before the tribunal of the Christ, that each one may receive the things `done' through the body, in reference to the things that he did, whether good or evil;

δεῖ dei “it behooves”

if to boast it behoveth `me', of the things of my infirmity I will boast;

δεῖ, dei “it behooves [me],”

To boast, really, is not profitable for me, for I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.

δεῖ, dei “it behooves [me],”

for which I am an ambassador in a chain, that in it I may speak freely -- as it behoveth me to speak.

δεῖ dei “it behooves”

that I may manifest it, as it behoveth me to speak;

δεῖ dei “it behooves”

your word always in grace -- with salt being seasoned -- to know how it behoveth you to answer each one.

δεῖ dei “it behooves”

As to the rest, then, brethren, we request you, and call upon you in the Lord Jesus, as ye did receive from us how it behoveth you to walk and to please God, that ye may abound the more,

δεῖ dei “it behooves”

for yourselves have known how it behoveth `you' to imitate us, because we did not act disorderly among you;

δεῖ dei “it behooves [you]”

it behoveth, therefore, the overseer to be blameless, of one wife a husband, vigilant, sober, decent, a friend of strangers, apt to teach,

δεῖ dei “It behooves”

and it behoveth him also to have a good testimony from those without, that he may not fall into reproach and a snare of the devil.

δεῖ dei “It behooves”

and if I delay, that thou mayest know how it behoveth `thee' to conduct thyself in the house of God, which is an assembly of the living God -- a pillar and foundation of the truth,

δεῖ dei “it behooves [one]”

and at the same time also, they learn `to be' idle, going about the houses; and not only idle, but also tattlers and busybodies, speaking the things they ought not;

δέοντα. deonta “being proper.”

the labouring husbandman it behoveth first of the fruits to partake;

δεῖ dei “it is necessary”

and a servant of the Lord it behoveth not to strive, but to be gentle unto all, apt to teach, patient under evil,

δεῖ dei “it behooves”

for it behoveth the overseer to be blameless, as God's steward, not self-pleased, nor irascible, not given to wine, not a striker, not given to filthy lucre;

δεῖ dei “It behooves”

whose mouth it behoveth to stop, who whole households do overturn, teaching what things it behoveth not, for filthy lucre's sake.

δεῖ dei “it is necessary”δεῖ dei “ought”

Because of this it behoveth `us' more abundantly to take heed to the things heard, lest we may glide aside,

δεῖ dei “it behooves”

since it had behoved him many times to suffer from the foundation of the world, but now once, at the full end of the ages, for putting away of sin through his sacrifice, he hath been manifested;

ἔδει edei “it was necessary for”

and apart from faith it is impossible to please well, for it behoveth him who is coming to God to believe that He is, and to those seeking Him He becometh a rewarder.

δεῖ dei “it behooves”

in which ye are glad, a little now, if it be necessary, being made to sorrow in manifold trials,

δέον deon “being necessary”

All these, then, being dissolved, what kind of persons doth it behove you to be in holy behaviours and pious acts?

δεῖ dei “ought”

A revelation of Jesus Christ, that God gave to him, to shew to his servants what things it behoveth to come to pass quickly; and he did signify `it', having sent through his messenger to his servant John,

δεῖ dei “it behooves”

After these things I saw, and lo, a door opened in the heaven, and the first voice that I heard `is' as of a trumpet speaking with me, saying, `Come up hither, and I will shew thee what it behoveth to come to pass after these things;'

δεῖ dei “it behooves”

and he saith to me, `It behoveth thee again to prophesy about peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings -- many.'
