dienekes describes an ongoing or enduring state, applied to sacrifices, perfection, and priestly continuance.

The attested use describes continuance without an indicated endpoint: Hebrews 10:1, Hebrews 10:12, and Hebrews 10:14 place it in statements about sacrifices and their effect, while Hebrews 7:3 applies it to remaining a priest.

1. Enduring continuance · dominant

   In Hebrews 10:1, the accusative singular neuter form occurs in the statement that the law's repeated sacrifices cannot perfect those who draw near. In Hebrews 10:12 and Hebrews 10:14, the APB renders the surrounding clauses with “for all time” for a single sacrifice and its perfecting effect; in Hebrews 7:3, it renders the priest's remaining as “perpetually.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the duration with “for all time” in Hebrews 10:12 and Hebrews 10:14 and with “perpetually” in Hebrews 7:3. Hebrews 10:1 confirms the surrounding contrast about repeated sacrifices without isolating a specific English rendering for the term.
