G3588–ὁ–ho

that ye may not become slothful, but followers of those who through faith and patient endurance are inheriting the promises.

τῶν tōn “of those”τὰς tas “the”

For to Abraham God, having made promise, seeing He was able to swear by no greater, did swear by Himself,

τῷ tō “<the>”ὁ ho “<the>”

and so, having patiently endured, he did obtain the promise;

τῆς tēs “the”

for men indeed do swear by the greater, and an end of all controversy to them for confirmation `is' the oath,

τοῦ tou “[one]”ὁ ho “in the”

in which God, more abundantly willing to shew to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, did interpose by an oath,

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

that through two immutable things, in which `it is' impossible for God to lie, a strong comfort we may have who did flee for refuge to lay hold on the hope set before `us',

τὸν ton “<the>”οἱ hoi “<the>”τῆς tēs “of what”

which we have, as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and entering into that within the vail,

τῆς tēs “of the”τὸ to “that”τοῦ tou “the”

whither a forerunner for us did enter -- Jesus, after the order of Melchisedek chief priest having become -- to the age.

τὴν tēn “the”τὸν ton “the”

For this Melchisedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who did meet Abraham turning back from the smiting of the kings, and did bless him,

ὁ ho “<the>”τοῦ tou “<the>”τοῦ tou “<the>”ὁ ho “who”τῆς tēs “the”τῶν tōn “of the”

without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, and being made like to the Son of God, doth remain a priest continually.

τῷ tō “as the”τοῦ tou “<the>”τὸ to “<the>”

And see how great this one `is', to whom also a tenth Abraham the patriarch did give out of the best of the spoils,

τῶν tōn “the”ὁ ho “the”

and those, indeed, out of the sons of Levi receiving the priesthood, a command have to take tithes from the people according to the law, that is, their brethren, even though they came forth out of the loins of Abraham;

οἱ hoi “those”τῶν tōn “the”τὴν tēn “the”τὸν ton “from the”τὸν ton “the”τοὺς tous “from the”τῆς tēs “the”

and he who was not reckoned by genealogy of them, received tithes from Abraham, and him having the promises he hath blessed,

ὁ ho “The [one]”τὸν ton “<the>”τὸν ton “the [one who]”τὰς tas “the”

and apart from all controversy, the less by the better is blessed --

τὸ to “the”τοῦ tou “the”

and so to speak, through Abraham even Levi who is receiving tithes, hath paid tithes,

ὁ ho “the [one]”

for he was yet in the loins of the father when Melchisedek met him.

τῇ tēa “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”ὁ ho “<the>”

If indeed, then, perfection were through the Levitical priesthood -- for the people under it had received law -- what further need, according to the order of Melchisedek, for another priest to arise, and not to be called according to the order of Aaron?

τῆς tēs “the”ὁ ho “the”τὴν tēn “the”τὴν tēn “the”

for the priesthood being changed, of necessity also, of the law a change doth come,

τῆς tēs “the”

for he of whom these things are said in another tribe hath had part, of whom no one gave attendance at the altar,

τῷ tō “at the”

for `it is' evident that out of Judah hath arisen our Lord, in regard to which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.

ὁ ho “the”

And it is yet more abundantly most evident, if according to the similitude of Melchisedek there doth arise another priest,

τὴν tēn “the”

for He doth testify -- `Thou `art' a priest -- to the age, according to the order of Melchisedek;'

τὸν ton “the”τὴν tēn “the”

for a disannulling indeed doth come of the command going before because of its weakness, and unprofitableness,

τὸ to “<the>”

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

ὁ ho “the”τῷ tō “<the>”

and he with an oath through Him who is saying unto him, `The Lord sware, and will not repent, Thou `art' a priest -- to the age, according to the order of Melchisedek;')

οἱ hoi “those ones”ὁ ho “[He]”τοῦ tou “the [One] who”τὸν ton “the”τὴν tēn “the”
