Vine's Expository Dictionary of NT Words [1]
1: Ὀφείλω (Strong'S #3784 — — opheilo — of-i'-lo, of-i-leh'-o )
"to owe," is once rendered "behove," Hebrews 2:17; it indicates a necessity, owing to the nature of the matter under consideration; in this instance, the fulfillment of the justice and love of God, voluntarily exhibited in what Christ accomplished, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest. See Bound , Debt , Due , Duty , Guilty , Indebted , Must , Need , Ought , Owe.
2: Δεῖ (Strong'S #1163 — Verb — dei — die, deh-on' )
"it is necessary," is rendered "behoved," in Luke 24:46; RV, (that the Christ) "should" (suffer). Dei expresses a logical necessity, opheilo, a moral obligation; cp. chre, James 3:10 , "ought," which expresses a need resulting from the fitness of things (Trench, cvii). See Meet , Must , Need , Ought.
