Greek-English Concordance for ὁ
| Hebrews 7:5 | And those (hoi | οἱ | nom pl masc) of the (tōn | τῶν | gen pl masc) sons of Levi who receive the (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) priestly office have a mandate according to the (ton | τόν | acc sg masc) law to collect a tithe from the (ton | τόν | acc sg masc) people, that is, from their fellow countrymen, although they too come from the (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) loins of Abraham. |
| Hebrews 7:6 | But this (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) man who does not trace his descent from them received tithes from Abraham and blessed the (ton | τόν | acc sg masc) one who had the (tas | τάς | acc pl fem) promises. |
| Hebrews 7:7 | It is beyond dispute that the (to | τό | nom sg neut) person of lesser status is blessed by the (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) one of greater status. |
| Hebrews 7:9 | And it could be said that Levi himself, who (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) receives tithes, paid tithes through Abraham, |
| Hebrews 7:10 | for he was still in the (tē | τῇ | dat sg fem) loins of his (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) ancestor when Melchizedek met Abraham. |
| Hebrews 7:11 | If, then, perfection had been attainable through the (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) Levitical priesthood (for under it the (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) people had received the law), what further need would there have been for another kind of priest to arise according to the (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) order of Melchizedek, rather than one designated after the (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) order of Aaron? |
| Hebrews 7:12 | For whenever the (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) priesthood is altered, there is necessarily an alteration in the law as well. |
| Hebrews 7:13 | For the one of whom these things are said belongs to a different tribe, from which no one has ever served at the (tō | τῷ | dat sg neut) altar. |
| Hebrews 7:14 | For it is perfectly clear that our Lord is descended from Judah, and in regard to that tribe Moses said nothing about priests. |
| Hebrews 7:15 | And it is even more obvious that if, according to the (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) likeness of Melchizedek, another priest arises, |
| Hebrews 7:17 | For it is attested of him, “You are a priest forever, according to the (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) order of Melchizedek.” |
| Hebrews 7:18 | For there is an annulment of a former commandment because of its weakness and uselessness |
| Hebrews 7:19 | (for the (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) law made nothing perfect); but the introduction of a better hope through which we draw near to (tō | τῷ | dat sg masc) God. |
| Hebrews 7:20 | And since this was not done without an oath (for others (hoi | οἱ | nom pl masc) have become priests without an oath, |
| Hebrews 7:21 | but he (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) became a priest with an oath by the (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) one who said to him, “The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind, ‘You are a priest forever’”), |
| Hebrews 7:23 | Now on the one hand, these (hoi | οἱ | nom pl masc) many have become priests because they were hindered by death from continuing in office, |
| Hebrews 7:24 | but on the other hand, Jesus (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc), because he remains forever, has a priesthood that is permanent. |
| Hebrews 7:25 | Consequently, he is able to save completely those (tous | τούς | acc pl masc) who draw near to (tō | τῷ | dat sg masc) God through him, because he continually lives to intercede for them. |
| Hebrews 7:26 | For such a high priest was appropriate for us, one who is holy, innocent, undefiled; having been separated from sinners, he became exalted above the (tōn | τῶν | gen pl masc) heavens. |
| Hebrews 7:27 | He has no need to offer up daily sacrifices, like those (hoi | οἱ | nom pl masc) other high priests, first for their own sins and then for the (tōn | τῶν | gen pl fem) sins of the (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) people, for this he did once for all when he offered up himself. |
| Hebrews 7:28 | For the (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) law appoints men as high priests who have weaknesses, but the (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) word of the (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) oath, which (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) came later than the (ton | τόν | acc sg masc) law, appoints the Son who has been made perfect forever. |
| Hebrews 8:1 | Now the crowning affirmation to what (tois | τοῖς | dat pl neut) we are saying is this: we do have such a high priest, who has taken his seat at the right hand of the (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) throne of the (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) Majesty in heaven, |
| Hebrews 8:2 | an officiating priest of (tōn | τῶν | gen pl neut) holy things and of the (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) true tabernacle which the (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) Lord put up, not man. |
| Hebrews 8:3 | For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices; so it was necessary for this high priest also to have something to offer. |
| Hebrews 8:4 | So if he had been on earth, he would not be a priest, since there are already those (tōn | τῶν | gen pl masc) who offer the (ta | τά | acc pl neut) gifts prescribed by the law. |
