G3748–ὅστις–hostis, hētis

ἅτινά hatina “which”

Therefore put to death your earthward inclinations--fornication, impurity, sensual passion, unholy desire, and all greed, for that is a form of idolatry.

ἥτις hētis “which”

Jesus, called Justus, also sends greeting. These three are Hebrew converts. They alone among such have worked loyally with me for the Kingdom of God--they are men who have been a comfort to me.

They will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, being banished from the presence of the Lord and from His glorious majesty,

ἥτις hētis “which”

For I recall the sincere faith which is in your heart--a faith which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and then in your mother Eunice, and, I am fully convinced, now dwells in you also.

ἥτις hētis “which”

All that you have been taught by me in the hearing of many witnesses, you must hand on to trusty men who shall themselves, in turn, be competent to instruct others also.

ἥτις hētis “which [is]”

After saying the words I have just quoted, "Sacrifices and offerings or whole burnt-offerings and sin-offerings Thou hast not desired or taken pleasure in" --all such being offered in obedience to the Law--

αἵτινες aitines “which”

And while every priest stands ministering, day after day, and constantly offering the same sacrifices--though such can never rid us of our sins--

αἵτινες aitines “which”
