Biblical Concordance
| Hebrews 5:12 | For though by this time you ought to be (einai | εἶναι | pres act inf ) teachers, you need someone to teach you again the basic elements of God’s revelation. You have become people needing milk, not solid food; |
| Hebrews 5:13 | for everyone who lives on milk is inexperienced with the teaching about righteousness, since he (estin | ἐστιν | pres act ind 3 sg) is (estin | ἐστιν | pres act ind 3 sg) still a child. |
| Hebrews 5:14 | But solid food is (estin | ἐστιν | pres act ind 3 sg) for the mature, for those who by virtue of their maturity have senses that are trained to distinguish good from evil. |
| Hebrews 7:2 | and to him Abraham alloted a tenth part of everything. Translated, his name means first, “king of righteousness,” then it also means, “king of Salem,” that is (estin | ἐστιν | pres act ind 3 sg), “king of peace.” |
| Hebrews 7:5 | And those of the sons of Levi who receive the priestly office have a mandate according to the law to collect a tithe from the people, that is (estin | ἔστιν | pres act ind 3 sg), from their fellow countrymen, although they too come from the loins of Abraham. |
| Hebrews 7:10 | for he (ēn | ἦν | imperf act ind 3 sg) was (ēn | ἦν | imperf act ind 3 sg) still in the loins of his ancestor when Melchizedek met Abraham. |
| Hebrews 7:11 | If, then, perfection had (ēn | ἦν | imperf act ind 3 sg) been (ēn | ἦν | imperf act ind 3 sg) attainable through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people had received the law), what further need would there have been for another kind of priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek, rather than one designated after the order of Aaron? |
| Hebrews 7:15 | And it (estin | ἐστιν | pres act ind 3 sg) is (estin | ἐστιν | pres act ind 3 sg) even more obvious that if, according to the likeness of Melchizedek, another priest arises, |
| Hebrews 7:20 | And since this was not done without an oath (for others have (eisin | εἰσίν | pres act ind 3 pl) become priests without an oath, |
| Hebrews 7:23 | Now on the one hand, these many have (eisin | εἰσιν | pres act ind 3 pl) become priests because they were hindered by death from continuing in office, |
| Hebrews 8:4 | So if he had been (ēn | ἦν | imperf act ind 3 sg) on earth, he (ēn | ἦν | imperf act ind 3 sg) would not be (ēn | ἦν | imperf act ind 3 sg) a priest, since there are (ontōn | ὄντων | pres act ptcp gen pl masc) already those who offer the gifts prescribed by the law. |
| Hebrews 8:6 | But as it is, he has obtained a superior ministry, since the covenant of which he is mediator is (estin | ἐστιν | pres act ind 3 sg) better, since it has been enacted on the basis of better promises. |
| Hebrews 8:7 | For if that first covenant had been (ēn | ἦν | imperf act ind 3 sg) blameless, then no occasion would have been sought for a second. |
| Hebrews 8:10 | For this is the covenant that I will establish with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my laws in their minds and I will inscribe them on their hearts. I will be (esomai | ἔσομαι | fut mid ind 1 sg) their God and they will be (esontai | ἔσονται | fut mid ind 3 pl) my people. |
| Hebrews 8:12 | For I (esomai | ἔσομαι | fut mid ind 1 sg) will (esomai | ἔσομαι | fut mid ind 1 sg) be (esomai | ἔσομαι | fut mid ind 1 sg) gracious toward their iniquities and I will never again remember their sins.” |
| Hebrews 9:5 | Above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the place of forgiveness. Of these things we cannot now speak in detail. |
| Hebrews 9:11 | But when Christ appeared as high priest of the good things that have now come, passing through the greater and more perfect tent (not made with hands, that is (estin | ἔστιν | pres act ind 3 sg), not of this creation), |
| Hebrews 9:15 | And for this reason he (estin | ἐστίν | pres act ind 3 sg) is (estin | ἐστίν | pres act ind 3 sg) the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has occurred that redeems them from the transgressions committed under that first covenant. |
| Hebrews 10:10 | By that will we (esmen | ἐσμέν | pres act ind 1 pl) have (esmen | ἐσμέν | pres act ind 1 pl) been (esmen | ἐσμέν | pres act ind 1 pl) made holy through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. |
| Hebrews 10:20 | a way that is new and living, which he opened for us through the curtain, that is (estin | ἔστιν | pres act ind 3 sg), through his flesh, |
| Hebrews 10:39 | But we are (esmen | ἐσμέν | pres act ind 1 pl) not of those who shrink back and are lost, but are of those who are faithful and so preserve their soul. |
| Hebrews 11:1 | Now faith is (estin | ἔστιν | pres act ind 3 sg) the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. |
| Hebrews 11:4 | By faith Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which faith he was attested as (einai | εἶναι | pres act inf ) righteous, God himself showing his approval by accepting his gifts. And though he died, he still speaks through his faith. |
| Hebrews 11:6 | and without faith it is impossible to please him, for the one who approaches God must believe that he exists (estin | ἔστιν | pres act ind 3 sg) and that he rewards those who seek him. |
| Hebrews 11:13 | These all died in faith, without receiving the fulfillment of the promises, but they saw them from a distance and greeted them. They acknowledged that they (eisin | εἰσιν | pres act ind 3 pl) were (eisin | εἰσιν | pres act ind 3 pl) strangers and exiles in the land. |
| Hebrews 11:16 | But as it is, they were longing for a better homeland, that is (estin | ἔστιν | pres act ind 3 sg), a heavenly one. For this reason God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city to receive them. |
| Hebrews 11:38 | (of whom the world was (ēn | ἦν | imperf act ind 3 sg) not worthy). They wandered aimlessly in deserts and on mountains, living in caves and crevices in the ground, |
| Hebrews 12:8 | But if you (este | ἐστε | pres act ind 2 pl) are (este | ἐστε | pres act ind 2 pl) left without discipline, in which all sons share, then you (este | ἐστε | pres act ind 2 pl) are (este | ἐστε | pres act ind 2 pl) illegitimate children and not sons. |
| Hebrews 12:11 | All discipline at the time seems not to (einai | εἶναι | pres act inf ) be (einai | εἶναι | pres act inf ) pleasant, but painful; but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. |
| Hebrews 12:21 | And so awesome was (ēn | ἦν | imperf act ind 3 sg) the spectacle that Moses said, “I (eimi | εἰμι | pres act ind 1 sg) am (eimi | εἰμι | pres act ind 1 sg) terrified and trembling.” |
| Hebrews 13:3 | Continue to remember those in prison, as though you were in prison with them, and those who are being mistreated, as though you (ontes | ὄντες | pres act ptcp nom pl masc) yourself were (ontes | ὄντες | pres act ptcp nom pl masc) suffering bodily. |
| Hebrews 13:15 | Through him, therefore, let us continually offer up to God a sacrifice of praise, that is (estin | ἔστιν | pres act ind 3 sg) to say, the fruit of lips acknowledging his name. |
| James 1:4 | And let endurance carry out its intended purpose, so that you may be (ēte | ἦτε | pres act subj 2 pl) mature and complete, lacking in nothing. |
| James 1:13 | No one when tempted should say, “I am being tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted to do (estin | ἐστιν | pres act ind 3 sg) evil, and he himself tempts no one else. |
| James 1:17 | Every good gift and every perfect gift is (estin | ἐστιν | pres act ind 3 sg) from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow caused by change. |
| James 1:18 | According to his sovereign plan, he brought us into being through his word of truth, so that we would be (einai | εἶναι | pres act inf ) a kind of first fruits of all he created. |
| James 1:19 | Understand this, my dear brothers: everyone must be (estō | ἔστω | pres act imperative 3 sg) quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry. |
| James 1:23 | For if someone is (estin | ἐστίν | pres act ind 3 sg) a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a person who looks at his natural face in a mirror; |
| James 1:24 | then after looking at himself he goes away and immediately forgets what he (ēn | ἦν | imperf act ind 3 sg) was (ēn | ἦν | imperf act ind 3 sg) like. |
| James 1:25 | But the person who looks intently into the perfect law, the law that provides liberty, and continues in it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an active doer — he will (estai | ἔσται | fut mid ind 3 sg) be (estai | ἔσται | fut mid ind 3 sg) blessed in his doing. |
| James 1:26 | If someone thinks that he (einai | εἶναι | pres act inf ) is (einai | εἶναι | pres act inf ) religious, yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person’s religion is worthless. |
| James 1:27 | Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is (estin | ἐστίν | pres act ind 3 sg) this: to care for orphans and widows in their time of trouble, and to keep oneself unstained by the world. |
| James 2:17 | In the same way faith, if it has no works, is (estin | ἐστιν | pres act ind 3 sg) dead, since it is by itself. |
| James 2:19 | You believe that God is (estin | ἐστιν | pres act ind 3 sg) one; you do well. Even the demons believe, and shudder. |
| James 2:20 | Would you like to be shown, you shallow person, that faith without works is (estin | ἐστιν | pres act ind 3 sg) useless? |
| James 2:26 | For just as the body without the spirit is (estin | ἐστιν | pres act ind 3 sg) dead, so also faith devoid of works is (estin | ἐστιν | pres act ind 3 sg) dead. |
| James 3:4 | Or consider ships: though (onta | ὄντα | pres act ptcp nom pl neut) they (onta | ὄντα | pres act ptcp nom pl neut) are (onta | ὄντα | pres act ptcp nom pl neut) so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder, wherever the impulse of the pilot directs. |
| James 3:5 | So also is (estin | ἐστίν | pres act ind 3 sg) the tongue a small member, yet it boasts of great things. See how large a forest is set on fire by such a small flame. |
| James 3:15 | This is (estin | ἔστιν | pres act ind 3 sg) not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. |
| James 3:17 | But the wisdom from above is (estin | ἐστιν | pres act ind 3 sg) first of all pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, free from prejudice and hypocrisy. |
