G3588–ὁ–ho

For we have not a High Priest who is unable to feel for us in our weaknesses, but one who was tempted in every respect just as we are tempted, and yet did not sin.

ταῖς tais “with the”

Therefore let us come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our times of need.

τῷ tō “to the”τῆς tēs “<the>”

For every High Priest is chosen from among men, and is appointed to act on behalf of men in matters relating to God, in order to offer both gifts and sin-offerings,

τὰ ta “[in] the [things]”τὸν ton “<the>”

and must be one who is able to bear patiently with the ignorant and erring, because he himself also is beset with infirmity.

τοῖς tois “with those”

And for this reason he is required to offer sin-offerings not only for the people but also for himself.

τοῦ tou “the”

And no one takes this honourable office upon himself, but only accepts it when called to it by God, as Aaron was.

τὴν tēn “the”ὁ ho “the [one]”τοῦ tou “<the>”ὁ ho “<the>”

So Christ also did not claim for Himself the honour of being made High Priest, but was appointed to it by Him who said to Him, "My Son art Thou: I have to-day become Thy Father;"

ὁ ho “<the>”ὁ ho “the [One]”

as also in another passage He says, "Thou art a priest for ever, belonging to the order of Melchizedek."

τὸν ton “the”τὴν tēn “the”

For Jesus during his earthly life offered up prayers and entreaties, crying aloud and weeping as He pleaded with Him who was able to bring Him in safety out of death, and He was delivered from the terror from which He shrank.

ταῖς tais “the”τῆς tēs “of the”τὸν ton “the [One]”τῆς tēs “<the>”

Although He was God's Son, yet He learned obedience from the sufferings which He endured;

τὴν tēn “<the>”

and so, having been made perfect, He became to all who obey Him the source and giver of eternal salvation.

τοῖς tois “those”

For God Himself addresses Him as a High Priest for ever, belonging to the order of Melchizedek.

τοῦ tou “<the>”τὴν tēn “the”

Concerning Him we have much to say, and much that it would be difficult to make clear to you, since you have become so dull of apprehension.

ὁ ho “<the>”ταῖς tais “in the”

For although, considering the long time you have been believers, you ought now to be teachers of others, you really need some one to teach you over again the very rudiments of the truths of God, and you have come to require milk instead of solid food.

τὸν ton “the”τοῦ tou “[one]”τὰ ta “the”τῆς tēs “of the”τῶν tōn “of the”τοῦ tou “<the>”

By people who live on milk I mean those who are imperfectly acquainted with the teaching concerning righteousness.

ὁ ho “who”

Such persons are mere babes. But solid food is for adults--that is, for those who through constant practice have their spiritual faculties carefully trained to distinguish good from evil.

ἡ hē “the”τῶν tōn “for those”τὴν tēn “<the>”τὰ ta “the”

Therefore leaving elementary instruction about the Christ, let us advance to mature manhood and not be continually re-laying a foundation of repentance from lifeless works and of faith in God,

τὸν ton “<the>”τῆς tēs “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”τὴν tēn “<the>”

And advance we will, if God permits us to do so.

ὁ ho “<the>”

For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once for all been enlightened, and have tasted the sweetness of the heavenly gift, and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit,

τοὺς tous “to those”τῆς tēs “of the”τῆς tēs “<the>”

it is impossible, I say, to keep bringing them back to a new repentance, for, to their own undoing, they are repeatedly crucifying the Son of God afresh and exposing Him to open shame.

τὸν ton “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”

For land which has drunk in the rain that often falls upon it, and brings forth vegetation useful to those for whose sakes, indeed, it is tilled, has a share in God's blessing.

ἡ hē “<the>”τὸν ton “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”

But if it only yields a mass of thorns and briers, it is considered worthless, and is in danger of being cursed, and in the end will be destroyed by fire.

τὸ to “the”

But we, even while we speak in this tone, have a happier conviction concerning you, my dearly-loved friends--a conviction of things which point towards salvation.

τὰ ta “[of] <the> [things]”

For God is not unjust so that He is unmindful of your labour and of the love which you have manifested towards Himself in having rendered services to His people and in still rendering them.

ὁ ho “<the>”τοῦ tou “the”τοῦ tou “the”τῆς tēs “the”τὸ to “the”τοῖς tois “to the”

But we long for each of you to continue to manifest the same earnestness, with a view to your enjoying fulness of hope to the very End;

τὴν tēn “the”τὴν tēn “the”τῆς tēs “of the”
