Hebrews 10:11 (Standing Priest)

Καὶ πᾶς μὲν ἱερεὺς ἕστηκεν καθ' ἡμέραν λειτουργῶν καὶ τὰς αὐτὰς πολλάκις προσφέρων θυσίας, αἵτινες οὐδέποτε δύνανται περιελεῖν ἁμαρτίας·

ἱερεύς    G2409  [N-NSM] — priest
ἕστηκεν   G2476  [V-RAI-3S] Perf Act Ind — has stood / standeth (PERFECT = ongoing resultant state)
καθ'      G2596  [PREP] — daily (kata + hemeran)
ἡμέραν    G2250  [N-ASF] — day
λειτουργῶν G3008 [V-PAP-NSM] Pres Act Ptcp — ministering (PRESENT participle = ongoing)
προσφέρων  G4374 [V-PAP-NSM] Pres Act Ptcp — offering (PRESENT participle = repetitive)
πολλάκις   G4178 [ADV] — oftentimes / many times
περιελεῖν  G4014 [V-2AAN] Aor Act Inf — to take away / remove (AORIST = decisive but NEVER achieved)
ἁμαρτίας   G266  [N-APF] — sins

Key: ἕστηκεν (Perfect Active Indicative of histemi) — standing is a PERMANENT STATE resulting from a past act. The perfect tense encodes the priest's ONGOING condition. He has stood and continues to stand. This is not a momentary position — it is the defining posture of an incomplete priesthood.

λειτουργῶν and προσφέρων — both Present Active Participles — ongoing, repetitive actions. The priest continuously ministers, continuously offers.

οὐδέποτε δύνανται περιελεῖν — "can NEVER take away" — the sacrifices NEVER achieve their goal. The standing continues because the work is never done.

Hebrews 10:12 (Sitting Christ)

οὗτος δὲ μίαν ὑπὲρ ἁμαρτιῶν προσενέγκας θυσίαν εἰς τὸ διηνεκὲς ἐκάθισεν ἐν δεξιᾷ τοῦ Θεοῦ,

μίαν           G1520 [A-ASF] — one (single)
ὑπὲρ           G5228 [PREP] — for / on behalf of
ἁμαρτιῶν       G266  [N-GPF] — sins
προσενέγκας    G4374 [V-AAP-NSM] Aor Act Ptcp — having offered (AORIST = completed, once-for-all)
θυσίαν         G2378 [N-ASF] — sacrifice
εἰς τὸ διηνεκές G1336 [A-ASN] — in perpetuity / forever
ἐκάθισεν       G2523 [V-AAI-3S] Aor Act Ind — sat down (AORIST = single decisive act)
ἐν δεξιᾷ       G1188 [A-DSF] — at the right hand
τοῦ Θεοῦ       G2316 [N-GSM] — of God

Key: ἐκάθισεν (Aorist Active Indicative of kathizo) — SAT DOWN. A single, completed, decisive act. Not a state (like histemi Perfect) but a punctiliar action. He sat down ONCE because the work IS complete.

προσενέγκας (Aorist Active Participle) — "HAVING offered" — anterior action, completed before the sitting. The offering is done; the sitting follows as its consequence.

The contrast is total: - Standing (Perfect = ongoing state) vs. Sat down (Aorist = completed action) - Offering oftentimes (Present participle) vs. Having offered one sacrifice (Aorist participle) - Can never take away sins vs. For sins forever

Revelation 13:5 (edothe — divine passive)

καὶ ἐδόθη αὐτῷ στόμα λαλοῦν μεγάλα καὶ βλασφημίας, 
καὶ ἐδόθη αὐτῷ ἐξουσία ποιῆσαι μῆνας τεσσεράκοντα δύο.

ἐδόθη (2x)  G1325 [V-API-3S] — Aorist Passive Indicative 3rd Singular of didomi
            = "was given" — DIVINE PASSIVE. God is the unnamed agent.
αὐτῷ        G846  [P-DSN] — to it/him (dative of recipient)
στόμα        G4750 [N-NSN] — a mouth
ἐξουσία      G1849 [N-NSF] — authority/power
ποιῆσαι      G4160 [V-AAN] — to act/make (Aorist Active Infinitive — purpose clause)
μῆνας τεσσεράκοντα δύο = forty-two months

Two edothe in one verse: mouth given + authority given. Both divine passives.

Revelation 13:7 (edothe — divine passive)

καὶ ἐδόθη αὐτῷ ποιῆσαι πόλεμον μετὰ τῶν ἁγίων καὶ νικῆσαι αὐτούς, 
καὶ ἐδόθη αὐτῷ ἐξουσία ἐπὶ πᾶσαν φυλὴν καὶ λαὸν καὶ γλῶσσαν καὶ ἔθνος.

ἐδόθη (2x)  G1325 [V-API-3S] — Aorist Passive Indicative 3S = "was given" (divine passive)
ποιῆσαι πόλεμον = to make war (Aor Act Inf)
μετὰ τῶν ἁγίων = with the saints
νικῆσαι αὐτούς = and to overcome them
ἐξουσία ἐπὶ πᾶσαν φυλὴν = authority over every tribe

The edothe chain complete: Dan 8:12 tinnaten (Heb Niphal) → Rev 13:5 edothe → Rev 13:7 edothe. Same divine passive, same structural formula across three languages.

Hebrews 7:24 (aparabaton — untransferable priesthood)

ὁ δὲ διὰ τὸ μένειν αὐτὸν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ἀπαράβατον ἔχει τὴν ἱερωσύνην·

μένειν       G3306 [V-PAN] Pres Act Inf — to remain/continue
εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα G165 = forever
ἀπαράβατον   G531  [A-ASF] — unchangeable / untransferable / inviolable
ἱερωσύνην    G2420 [N-ASF] — priesthood

ἀπαράβατον (G531) — hapax legomenon in NT. From α (not) + παραβαίνω (to pass over/transgress). Literally: "not passed on to another." Christ's priesthood CANNOT BE TRANSFERRED to anyone else. Any system that installs human priests in His place violates this grammatical reality.

Hebrews 9:12 (ephapax — once for all)

οὐδὲ δι' αἵματος τράγων καὶ μόσχων, 
διὰ δὲ τοῦ ἰδίου αἵματος, 
εἰσῆλθεν ἐφάπαξ εἰς τὰ ἅγια, αἰωνίαν λύτρωσιν εὑράμενος.

εἰσῆλθεν    G1525 [V-2AAI-3S] Aor Act Ind — entered (aorist = single decisive entry)
ἐφάπαξ      G2178 [ADV] — once for all
εἰς τὰ ἅγια  G40  — into the holy place(s)
αἰωνίαν      G166  — eternal
λύτρωσιν     G3085 — redemption
εὑράμενος    G2147 [V-2AMP-NSM] Aor Mid Ptcp — having obtained (for himself)

ephapax + aorist = unrepeatable decisiveness. He entered ONCE. He obtained ETERNAL redemption. Any repetition contradicts both the grammar and the theology.

1 Timothy 2:5 (one mediator)

εἷς γὰρ Θεός, εἷς καὶ μεσίτης Θεοῦ καὶ ἀνθρώπων, ἄνθρωπος Χριστὸς Ἰησοῦς,

εἷς (2x)    G1520 [A-NSM] — one (emphatic numeral)
Θεός         G2316 [N-NSM] — God
μεσίτης      G3316 [N-NSM] — mediator
Θεοῦ καὶ ἀνθρώπων = between God and men
ἄνθρωπος     G444  [N-NSM] — man (in apposition — "the MAN Christ Jesus")

Structure: εἷς... εἷς... — one... one... Emphatic parallelism. One God, one mediator. The numerical exclusivity is grammatically enforced.
