G1510–εἰμί–eimi

and those indeed are many who have become priests, because by death they are hindered from remaining;

εἰσιν eisin “are”

for if, indeed, he were upon earth, he would not be a priest -- (there being the priests who are offering according to the law, the gifts,

ἦν ēn “He were”ἦν ēn “He was being”ὄντων ontōn “while are being”

and now he hath obtained a more excellent service, how much also of a better covenant is he mediator, which on better promises hath been sanctioned,

ἐστιν estin “He is”

for if that first were faultless, a place would not have been sought for a second.

ἦν ēn “was”

because this `is' the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel, after those days, saith the Lord, giving My laws into their mind, and upon their hearts I will write them, and I will be to them for a God, and they shall be to Me for a people;

ἔσομαι esomai “I will be”ἔσονταί esontai “will be”

because I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawlessnesses I will remember no more;' --

ἔσομαι esomai “I will be”

and over it cherubim of the glory, overshadowing the mercy-seat, concerning which we are not now to speak particularly.

ἔστιν estin “it is”

And Christ being come, chief priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands -- that is, not of this creation --

ἔστιν estin “is”

And because of this, of a new covenant he is mediator, that, death having come, for redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, those called may receive the promise of the age-during inheritance,

ἐστίν, estin “He is,”

in the which will we are having been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once,

ἐσμὲν esmen “we are”

which way he did initiate for us -- new and living, through the vail, that is, his flesh --

ἔστιν estin “is”

and we are not of those drawing back to destruction, but of those believing to a preserving of soul.

ἐσμὲν esmen “are”

And faith is of things hoped for a confidence, of matters not seen a conviction,

Ἔστιν Estin “Is”

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.

ἔστιν estin “He exists”

In faith died all these, not having received the promises, but from afar having seen them, and having been persuaded, and having saluted `them', and having confessed that strangers and sojourners they are upon the earth,

εἰσιν eisin “they are”

but now they long for a better, that is, an heavenly, wherefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for He did prepare for them a city.

ἔστιν estin “is”

of whom the world was not worthy; in deserts wandering, and `in' mountains, and `in' caves, and `in' the holes of the earth;

ἦν ēn “was”

if chastening ye endure, as to sons God beareth Himself to you, for who is a son whom a father doth not chasten?

ἐστιν estin “is”

and if ye are apart from chastening, of which all have become partakers, then bastards are ye, and not sons.

ἐστε este “you are”ἐστε. este “you are.”

and, (so terrible was the sight,) Moses said, `I am fearful exceedingly, and trembling.'

ἦν ēn “was”εἰμι eimi “I am”

be mindful of those in bonds, as having been bound with them, of those maltreated, as also yourselves being in the body;

ὄντες ontes “being”

through him, then, we may offer up a sacrifice of praise always to God, that is, the fruit of lips, giving thanks to His name;

ἔστιν estin “is”

and let the endurance have a perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire -- in nothing lacking;

ἦτε ēte “you may be”

Let no one say, being tempted -- `From God I am tempted,' for God is not tempted of evil, and Himself doth tempt no one,

ἐστιν estin “is”

every good giving, and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the lights, with whom is no variation, or shadow of turning;

ἐστιν estin “is”
